Customer Reviews
One of my favorite podcasts
Flash Point History is phenomenal, and deserves as much recognition as other well known and beloved history podcasts such as Hardcore History by Dan Carlin. Amazing work.
Begs the question
Misuse of Begs The Question in the Attila the Hun 3, approx4 minutes in. BTQ refers to circular logic not ‘raises the question’ or ‘requires the question’, either of which is preferable. Love the podcast looking forward to more episodes.
History fans will be pleased
If you like other history podcasts, you’ll like this one.
