This is the rare podcast show where the host is a phd candidate in the field so he has the energy and zeal for the topic to research it thoroughly, explain it plainly, and give analysis from many different angles.
Too often a historian with 30 years in the field will view the course of historical events as pre-ordained. Mr. Hume does not fall prey to this tendency…or hasn’t fallen prey yet.
I am also VERY impressed with Mr. Hume’s narration skills.
~~~End of Review~~~

~~~For Samuel’s Information~~~
I will expand this review but this is simply my first take. I know you, Sam, will look to these reviews for feedback, so I must say I feel bad that I can’t match your devotion to this project with a review that shows the same care. But for now please accept this first pass and consider that I would give you an A+ based on what I have heard so far.
Also, I discovered your passion for this topic from your interview on THE HISTORY OF THE GREAT WAR podcast (April 10, 2022). From that I could tell you excelled in explaining history in a way that was a good fit for me.
I recommend you promote your podcast this way in the future if you want more listeners. Somehow I sense that, for you, the journey is the destination. If so then don’t change a thing.

Extensive, Clearly-Reasoned and Well-Performed
