This series is incredible. I am on Part V. My husband and I are absolutely riveted!! You make us want to get in the car and just keep driving!!! Enjoying Celtic Holocaust as well. Can’t wait to dive/drive(?) into Death Throes of the Republic. The bibliographies are much appreciated. I appreciate all your efforts in producing such a wonderful podcast, Dan!

Amazing, just paid 9.99 to listen to it for a second time. I find it funny that the episodes have an ad asking to pay a dollar when I just paid 2 per episode, totally worth it either way.
