Completely left slanted framed as thoughtful with production and slow rhythm speech. BS indoctrination to fake news!

this podcast is pretty entertaining but it seems to be some truth mixed with some partisan liberal ideology. while bashing the conservative viewpoint as being haughty thinking that they have the truth on their side the author does the same.

Description
From the team behind the Webby Award-winning Best Podcast Series It Was Said and the acclaimed podcast Hope,Through History, comes Reflections of History, a series that guides listeners through critical moments in world history.
Join Pulitzer Prize winning and best-selling historian Jon Meacham as he travels back to impactful events that occurred on that date in history—the birth of a visionary filmmaker, the debut of an iconic athlete, the discovery of a lifesaving cure, a triumphant legal victory. You'll learn how that event shaped politics, art, culture, sports and science, and why it’s still relevant today.
Reflections of History is an Audacy original presented in partnership with Shining City Audio.
