Hope he returns to complete the story
This is a great overview ofDanish history in the medieval and early modern period.I hope that Søren comes back and finish is the 19th and 20th century I very much look forward to that.
Great podcast
Love the danish history. Hard to find in English
Astoundingly Good - by a high schooler!
His English is very good - easy to listen to. His composition likewise, and I expect the quality of his history knowledge seems good. I’ll wait to decide if his views have been skewed by current social & political teaching.
