This podcast is a thorough, informative, and entertaining dive into a variety of topics in Afican history. While there are periodic instances of post-production errors, this is quite understandable (and forgivable!) with the minimal staffing this podcast runs on. I applaud Andy, the podcast host, for his dedication to bringing an under-served branch of history to Western audiences, and his editor(s) for the behind-the-scenes, largely thankless work they put in on this podcast.

Well-researched and informative
