Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome! This is a great pilot! First time that I have seen a conversation-style course in Wondrium. Hopefully this will become a full course with mulitiple professors having conversations. I am looking forward to see how Wondrium expand this format in future.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Two Articulate Historians I wish all discourse in our country could be done by folks who know what these two do and who are thoughtful in listening to the questions they are being asked and really trying to answer them. Sigh. I found the various comparisons they made - e.g. Orwell with Neville Chamberlain - provocative and information. Ask either of these two gentlemen scholars to have a discussion again and I'll be watching/listening.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great format! I've really loved this format. The way these two experts came together to explore a common topic such as WWII from the perspective of renown figures such as Churchill and Orwell was very engligtening in many aspects. 30 minutes felt short to be honest and I ended up wanting to hear more from this conversation, the way questions and answers were building up really gave me new perspectives and insights about this conflict. I'm looking forward to see more of these conversations added to Wondrium.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent on all counts. Excellent. I hope this conversational format is a foretaste of things to come. As a current master’s degree student of World War II Studies, this was an exceptional mix of new and familiar material. I look forward to more in the series.
