"...probably the only podcast I am properly addicted to and every day between Christmas and new year I shamefully retreated from the bosom of my family to get my fix."

"While I mostly enjoy these podcasts, the presenters too often fall into breathtakingly arrogant British condescension. I find this grating, and it was the podcast on Poland that finally pushed me into doing a review. It was like listening to two schoolboys as they laughed about the pronunciation of Polish names and displayed their rather typical British ignorance and bias in discussing some of the country's history and countrymen. The days of British Imperial glory are over, gentlemen and it's time your attitudes caught up. I might add that in so many episodes far too much time is wasted chortling at each others mostly inane jokes. The series is interesting enough without the juvenile patter. I write this both as a Brit and a history graduate. "
