History on Fire Podcast is Out!

History on Fire, the podcast that I have been birthing for the last two years, is finally out. Episode 0 and Episode 1 are ready for you to download. I have put my heart, sweat, blood and soul into researching dozens of books, and preparing for this. Now that it’s finally out, I feel like a tiger out of the cage. A huge load is finally gone from my shoulders. I’m hoping this to be a turning point in my life–a game changer in the trajectory of my work. So, i’d be most thankful if you could please subscribe, tell your friends about it, leave reviews on iTunes and do all those things that help a podcast succeed. Anticipated thanks to everyone!
