This guest was very interesting, however, I had the feeling Jonah was frustrated at times by the guest’s habit of stepping on his set-ups.
This was exactly my thought, and he was always cutting in to basically say “and here’s another thing from history that I know!” Jonah seemed to have to always be bringing them back on topic.
Loved the interviews with Pietrusza (listened to them both). I’ll give Jonah a little leeway @icarus213 and @kimk – I think he’s just excited about history and this period so he had to get in his ideas too. And yeah I dislike Wilson too although his home in Staunton is a fascinating tour.
