Yeah and I think his co-host is just a progressive, not a Marxist. I binged a bunch of episodes a few months ago and I just kind of didn’t like the vibe the high school history teacher gave off. To his credit Justin pushed back now and then. I could be completely wrong about all of this though. The first episode of the Africa series in particular just didn’t work for me—it was too much of the trees and not enough of the forest, although it’s an absolutely massive undertaking to even attempt to describe Europe’s destruction of Africa.
I like Justin but his co-host is kind of annoying.
It sounds like he’s Justin’s old high school history teacher? Which is quite unexpected. I haven’t heard enough to be annoyed by him, but I can see it
