I always learn from listening to The Court of History. There are wonderful guests and each show is packed with information. Thank you so much Sidney & Sean for such interesting and informative shows.

Have added your podcast to those I listen to frequently. Very much appreciated Sidney recently pointing out that dictator of Russia stands to be major beneficiary if current administration comes to rule over Greenland. Shankar Narayan has been one of very few in media (independent or otherwise) to point out that sea corridor passing from Greenland’s southern border and extending around both Iceland and th UK has always been a critically important strategic barrier to capacity of Russian to threaten Europe with naval power. Would be great to have you all interview Narayan on this subject. Thanks for your work.
