An interesting, inspiring and engaging story. Great job! THANKS.

Hello mate, I am a big fan of your podcast. I also suggest everyone use this channel for learning history and learning English. I request that you make an episode on the situation in our country, Bangladesh. You know that we (students) have fought with the autocratic government. During this war, we have lost so many peers and family members. At the end of the day, we won this battle. Also, you can make one about the war that we fought with Pakistan in 1971. I will share with you as much information as you need. For me, you are hands-down the best storyteller.

I didn't know this story, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for listening

Thanks a lot for this podcast. I am looking forward to hearing about the last two centuries of Haiti history. The poor western part of hispaniola is still fighting an internal crisis and still paying debts to colonial states.

I can’t hear it in Spotify. The volume is too low there. You need to fix it.

[@LeonardoEnglishCom]

I think you have a problem with your device or Spotify settings, Rodrigo. We have just tested it on multiple devices on Spotify, it is exactly the same volume as all other episodes (and can be very loud).
