Fanboys, but it’s fun anyway
Listening in 2022; at episode 11.
The audio quality isn’t up to modern snuff but we can’t hold this against them, as this was recorded over a decade ago.
This is a fun podcast listening to two people nerd out about Napoleon, and these guys certainly know quite a bit. I am enjoying listening and learning. You’ve just got to approach the podcast with an air of caution , since these guys are just SCHILLING for Napoleon, thus the lens of history is tilted to flatter Napoleon quite a bit. They own to it but don’t correct it. That’s fine. We all fangirl about something. As a listener, being aware of the bias is enough.
I would do 5000000000000
Very educational!, I listen to it all night. I have heard some things, but very little of Austerlitz, Jena, Friedland, Wagram comparing this to another show
Drunk morons
Constantly spewing left wing hated. Should not be carried on I tunes.
