as a BJU grad, it was great to hear such a thorough and clear overview of the school's founding and history from the Bob Jones Sr years through the years I attended (when Bob Jones Jr and the 3rd were leading the charge) to today. I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to know more about the school, whether past, current or prospective student. This was a great 1st episode and I'm looking forward to more.

very thorough and thoughtful overview
