A podcast is an audio product. If the sound quality isn't good, it ruins the podcast. The June 29 episode host sounds like he was recorded in a bathroom with a tape recorder from the 80s. The guest only sounds somewhat better. Since a lot of people listen to podcasts while doing things in an environment, where there is ambient noise, it's important that the podcast have sufficient volume, and that the levels of different speakers are all normalized to the same level.

I recently read Roxanne Dunbar Ortiz’s History of indigenous people in US and now am trying to catch up w new scholarship. This podcast has a fantastic range of topics and well done interviews. Good length. As a newcomer I feel so grateful to the information.

This is one of the best American Indian History podcasts I’ve found ……great job

Thanks for the amazing book recs! I love listening to scholars and writers talk about their own work. Passion and research! This podcast feeds my mind, especially since I have been craving the lectures and conversations from my undergrad and grad school classes (way-back-when).

I think some of these reviews are misguided and not representative of the majority of episodes of this show. They are creating a vital dialogue of an oft neglected subject. Great job guys, great show

My only thing is the host, she breathes in the mic from the episodes I hear and it drives me nuts, other than that it’s a great show.

It’s good and provides good information. However, it’s often confusing. Most of the podcasts I have recently listened to are interviews with authors about their book. But, there is no introduction to it. It is just assumed the listener has read the book. I think a introduction of the topic, adding some background to the topic would make this podcast one of the best

It’s been hard finding a podcasts that touches on this topic. It’s very black and white and gets to the point. This has been very helpful as i’ve been studying native american folklore and it’s music.. Thanks guys, please keep it up!

I have enjoyed in the past the episode with Arica Coleman talking about Native/African American history and culture, So I was looking forward to listening to more. The recent episode with Douglas Bamforth (Spelling?) got me excited to listen to my owns states story of Native American tribal sites. Sadly the audio was of such low quality that, this episode is not viable for education or even enjoyment purposes.
