Thanks so much for delivering this series for free. Its a boon for those without great expendable money but still an interest in history.

Absolutely fantastic! One of my favorite podcasts of all time. Dan makes the subject matter as engaging as a thriller while being very informative about history.

The most amazing piece of storytelling I’ve ever heard. The Blueprint for Armageddon series hooked me onto HH. As a result, I’ve purchased, and listened repeatedly to all of Dan’s episodes. I can’t fathom how somebody can listen to this episode and not be moved in some way.
