I thought it was a great series and very informative. I especially enjoyed the impromptu "Search for a Third Way" podcast, which discussed the create of the welfare state in Europe and the political parties that have dominated European politics since the Second World War. I've always wonder what distinguished a Social Democrat from a Christian Democrat, and now I have a pretty good idea. OK, I’ve finished the series.

For me, I don't love the holes. For example, the French Revolution is a big hole in my knowledge of history. Since this podcast supplements his classes, we miss the events of the French Revolution. We get setup for the French Revolution, and then we get Napoleon. Something is missing here. Well, this is probably a question you and I would differ in answering….

They don't seem to do much prep work for them, and they often seem misleading to me. (After all, Marx was right about communism, correct?)

In the Karl Marx interview, I find it interesting that Marx was not only wrong about Communism, he was also wrong about the Twins overtaking the White Sox for the 2008 AL Central Division Title. GO SOX! I also just finished the Third Episode.
