  • The Don Says
    Great 30 minute history lesson
    As the name suggests this programme looks back over topics of interest in what is usually an informative, balanced, & mature manner. A great weekly history lesson.
  • Imseancena
    On the fascist episode.
    This video was incorrect in several ways. Fascism rose in ancient Rome, not Germany in WWI. The word fascist comes from a fasces which was a bundle of sticks around an axe. It was used to show power in Rome. You portray Fascism as only a bad thing and you are incapable of showing it from both sides.
  • Duncan McHale
    World affairs from an Australian point of view
    Interesting to hear something else than the US point of view.
  • BillyBill
    Interesting and relevant
    So far I have listened the podcasts on Syria and Afghanistan. The information was presented well and in an unbiased format. Well done.
