The newest of the Oldest Stories Podcast is out now. (For my review of the whole series, see here.)
Notes:
* Now that I'm done listening to this as my daily podcast, I'm catching the most recent episodes on Youtube instead of on my podcast app. But is it just me, or are the ads on this video too much? It's sometimes difficult to tell how many ads are the creator's choice, and how many ads are put in by Youtube, but I have a feeling the ad setting on these videos is probably pretty high.
* I'm not very enamored with the AI songs that have started to be included in every episode. I think I'll pass on the musical album that he's going to be selling. But I guess I can't fault his hustle.
* I don't mind bringing in Biblical sources here to supplement the history, but calling Isaiah "The true prophet of God, Isaiah," seems like it's going out of the way to fly the religious flag. In my review of the podcast, I said that I believed the religious proselytizing was over with the conclusion of the history of the Biblical narrative. But it looks like it might be creeping back in.
* All that being said, the actual meat of this episode was good--a lot of interesting historical information, told in a well-constructed narrative.
