No Man, No Problem, is the title of this episode. My guest is Bill Whittle.

0:10.0

I don't know if it's fair to introduce him as a historian, but I think he's more of a historian than a lot of historians I've met.

0:18.0

Well, you know, he kind of reminds me of Dan Carlin a little bit where he studies something so well that he can speak

0:25.6

extemporaneously about it for long periods of time. He knows a lot of

0:30.0

stories about the topics that at hand. He's done brilliant series in the past, what we saw, the
