I recommend this to anyone interested in French or European history. Each segment is both broad and deep enough to keep you listening.

I have been highly impressed by the temporal relevance of episodes like Notre Dame and the historical detail that helps contextualize French influence around the world.

Great guest speakers are regularly featured and the host is knowledgeable in ways few are.

Exceptional!
