Have you ever listened to Hardcore History, esp. the WW1 series? Curious for the thoughts of a history teacher.

I have listened to Hardcore History just to check it out because people rave on it so much.I recommend them to my students. I don't spend much time listening to them though because I don't learn anything. He doesn't tell me anything I don't already know. I'm not trying to sound like a snob - it's just what I've done for a living for 21 years. Kind of like you listening to an Engineering 101 podcast designed to make engineering seem interesting to the layman.
