Flagrant sucks. Shitz changed quite a bit over past months. Stopped watching a while back because he cant interview, just constantly talks over and runs his mouth with shitty jokes. You actually can listen to a convo and learn something on this pod.

This is the first podcast on this channel I've ever listened to. It's so much better than all the clickbait bullshit that's out there on other channels. It's not, “Im just asking questions”, it's I'm looking for the answers to my questions”. Good shit bro

@@markgagnonAnthony Schultz is a douchebag. You seem cool. Your podcast is much better and less masturbatory.
Most pods i listen to 60% paying attention, and 40% background noise. Had to run this one back a few times! Great show!
Locked me in for a full three hours. Great ep.
Mark - your interview skills are incredible and your tone puts us in the perfect comfortable listening chair ready to take in perspectives and information. More of these grounded experts (a maybe little less of the UFO/Conspiracy/Mobster guys). Big ups.
One of my very good clients was one of the soldiers who stormed the beach at Normandy. 10 years ago I think he was 95-99 years old, 6’3” tall, he was still driving a vehicle no problem, and he would shake my hand very firmly. He is now passed away super incredible amazing guy and I wasn’t really old enough to appreciate what he sacrifice and what he lived through until now. I can only imagine things he’s seen and done. He was such a nice guy. I believe he used to travel a lot and speak at universities and colleges.
bro these podcasts have quickly became some of my favorite, you deserve all the success coming!
Welcome to camp! Let’s go! Just recently saw your stand up on the life tour! you’re out here killing it brother! Keep it up 🔥
This is so well done. Please keep having history experts on like this
Such a good listen. You guys have great chemistry the whole time. Your relaxed attitude compliments Benjamin's passion for the subject really well. Good strategy.
I appreciate the range and topics of Mark’s guests. Great Ep
Subscribed! Fantastic guest, such an enjoyable listen. Thanks, Benjamin Hett and yourself.
This guy is very well spoken and communicates knowledge very effectively. Great pod, Mark
Love your modern day analogies when explaining certain things about the war. Really enjoyed the guest and also your questions you ask throughout. You never seem to be lost, also I dig the set up. You in a cool attic? Also, very much surprised to your channel of content like this ensues! Thanks man!
Right off the bat, I can tell you this is the best World War II historian I’ve heard on KZread. He really knows his stuff. Everyone who is interested in how World War II happened should listen to this man.

Weirdly I like that he gives nuance to hitler. Yes yes hitler is evil af but that’s not the whole story or the why. So many modern historians say the most surface level crap ab all of history and it sucks. Hitler a racist evil antichrist blah blah. Well how was Allie’s w Japan and Muslims. The surface level kiddy black and white crap never explains that

His goal isn't to tell you something you don't already know. He's explaining ww2 from start to finish how he sees it
I love all history from WWII, this was an amazing & refreshing episode. Congrats Mark 👏
This was great! Look forward to a pt.2
Fire interview!!! Could not be more excited to learn about history! Please do more.
Fire 🔥 wish this woulda been like 4+ hours. More historians any time Mark 😊
Was really well hosted! Great ep!
Great pod Mark and Ben, thank you
Mark back with another banger!
This my first episode of Camp Gagnon!!! I’ve been a fan since hearing him on Flagrant! And most recently seeing him on stage in an Atlanta show! So love this… And love this episode… Can’t wait to hear more!
One of the most interesting conversations I’ve seen yet.
Excellent interview and scholarly detail on the subject from the guest, subscribed!
I love it when you get into the backstory of WW2, and it's crazy that you find new info about it. Also, mark funny as hell that even if it is a serious conversation, he still manages to get the guest going and leaning into some jokes. Good shit my guy!
Only a half hour into this conversation. Good stuff. Subbed!
loved this interview. well done!
Absolutely fantastic pod mark, Wúnderbar.
thank you for an awesome episode! would love to see more history episodes!
This is incredible mark, thankyou!
Niice. I’m always up for stories of WW2. Normandy sounds like a search for me

Nice pod Mark, really well done
Great episode!! Need more history guests.
Mark is doing the sane thing by actually finding guests that havent been on umpteen different podcasts. There's really no need to recycle the same people.
Loved this pod. Well done Mark.

I think I’m going to love this interview. Because I have those very same questions.
Fantastic video :))
This was my favorite podcast!
U are my favorite panel member on flagrant 2. U seem down to earth and not full of yourself. U didn’t try comedy just because u were on a comedy podcast. U to your own route and you ask the best questions. U seem genuinely interested in all your guests
good work mark
Marks so smooth, nice!
Great interview

That was some podcast 👏🏻
This was a really great interview. Informative and concise but the ads in podcast are ruining it 🥴.
