VDH's podcast should be required for everyone to hear. One minute from him is worth 5 hours of talk radio in factual and relevant knowledge of the decline of our world and how it is happening!

Excellent podcast

Common sense and no nonsense is what I hear when I listen to VDH. He really helps put things in perspective. Also, if more people could maintain such a calm delivery when voicing their own political opinions, I believe there would be a lot more meaningful discussion/voting/policy making in our great country. I can listen to him whether I’m trying to nod off for a break or driving like a maniac thru traffic on the interstate.

I could listen all day

Sedition is an American tradition. If this is seditious then I'm happily joining the rebellion.

Excellent Academic Perspective on Current Affairs

I like listening to JDH but the amount and length of the adds are beyond the norm. I’m glad that the show is a money maker for those involved but my drive me away from the Podcast.

Too many adds.

This podcast should be more popular than it is. This episode alone taught me more than the first year at my university

Every night I reach for my AirPods and search for the latest podcast from Dr. Hanson. He is a voice of reason in a confusing world.

A regular part of my daily routine

Very simple, not over produced, & to the point which is presented in an academic manner. Very accessible, & Vick is a very decent dude!

Even us libertarians trusts Vick!!!

Victor has one foot in the world of the blue collar man and his other foot in the highest levels of intellectual intelligencia. He has a historical wealth of knowledge that adds a level of understanding that helps to explain todays current events. Through his every word you hear (his) sincere reverence for the American experiment.

Can't get enough...

Dr. Hanson and Thomas Sowell are responsible for helping me and guiding me to think after college. I was a Dance/Fine arts major, (no connection to that weird Berkley gender studies professor that has no grace what's so ever). I believe she studied dance as well amongst other things. I knew that there was something missing in my learning a big, ''GAP''. My academics was mediocre and not as disciplined as my dance studies. I realized it was due to the ideas I harvested earlier on. That was a tough pill to swallow, but it was necessary moving forward.

I desired guidance from professors like you and Sowell, and would have save myself a lot of time and money. My academic education was developed and fine tuned on my own. Now I love American history and have a hunger to read all of your required reading. Now at 43, I am happily married with two daughters and my home base is in Davie, FL. I feel very blessed to have a Governor like Ron Disantis because he has Floridians, "back", especially when it comes to our children. Both my husband and I are making sure our daughters are not the next victim of the woke/progressive left.

I educate my 16yr old of what's happening now and I tell her, "you see what happened in the Gulag, Moas, Cuba, etc. due to socialism". It can happen here to, and it is happening now were seeing tiny little glimpse". That's why most Americans who's voices aren't heard doesn't want it here. She tells me everything she's learning in school that she questions, and we do our research and make the corrections as needed. Don't worry Dr. Hanson there are new Conservatives that's brewing in the shadows, and were not going to sit back and take the bate.

Thank you, Thank you Thank you sir for everything your doing for us. God Bless you.

The College Professor I wished I had.

I cant believe how cohesive and neutral his info is. Could u imagine an ABC or CBS anchorman being this straight forward? That'd be real news.

I'm addicted to this guy
