By far the most interesting and appropriately self-deprecating history podcast out there! Sorry it took me so long to give you props. Thank you❣️❣️❣️

I don’t listen to your podcast because you somehow have any idea what I should buy. I don’t enjoy having you advertise at me—It’s bad enough “they” have to. But now, though, you are taking some of my disdain for them on to yourself.

Description

A podcast about exactly what it says it is: examining the bad ideas, mistakes and accidents that misshaped our world.
