    Andy,

    I just want to thank you for creating and presenting this wonderful history podcast. Great job!

    As I tend to think chronologically, my vote for the next topic is to choose the oldest African civilization not yet covered, and discuss that one.

    Also, thank you for including informative content on this website. Many history podcasters do a poor job of setting their narrative in a geographic context, so I appreciate the maps (and other images) you post.

    Best regards,

    Spencer
