Historia
In The Life & Times of Beethoven, celebrated composer and music historian Professor Robert Greenberg of San Francisco Performances gives you a unique perspective on a musical genius the likes of which the world had never seen before - or since. Blending biography, history, and music appreciation, these 10 lectures portray Beethoven’s extraordinary (and still modern-sounding) music as a direct outgrowth of his life, environment, and interior emotional landscape.

I wasn’t expecting to enjoy this as much as I did. Robert Greenberg is one of those teachers who you love to learn from and now I look forward to listening to his collection of lectures. Extremely entertaining and informative. 5 stars all around!

Historia
The political, and very human, dynamics behind presidential cabinets, from George Washington to Joe Biden, come to life in The Best and Worst Presidential Cabinets in U.S. History. What Lindsay M. Chervinsky offers in this eye-opening Audible Original is an investigation of the good, the bad, and the ugly of presidential cabinets. Covering more than two centuries of history, it’s a fascinating tour of scandals, colorful personalities, big events, and triumphs of diversity and bipartisanship. Not to mention jobs with a very high turnover rate.

Biased unreflective presidential history

Inherent Bias
Revisado: 03-25-25
I have to question the historical accuracy of much of what is presented as history merely because the presentation of recent Cabinet activities concerning both the Trump and Biden administration has been proven false by 2025. I am unsure when this course was recorded, however, many of the stories claimed as historically accurate turn out to not be based on factual information now that more light has been shed on the truth. Academia, media, and science have significantly undermined themselves in the span of a decade and fabricated much of what passes as the official record. The narrator did not do herself any favors repeating debunked stories and recording it for posterity’s sake.
Since 2015, the public now has documented countless instances of mistruths, disinfo, and misinformation ranging from COVID not being from a lab (it was), Biden being cognizant (Jake Tapper now admits that wasn’t true), and a weaponized government targeting a democratically elected President who DID request the National Guard on January 6th (request denied by Pelosi and DC mayor as now proven).
These instances alone make you wonder about EVERYTHING you’ve been told and taught about history. Is it even true? Narrator needs to edit this course based on recent revelations.

Please Abandon the ‘woke’ terminology
Revisado: 03-19-25
I think we can all benefit from scientific lectures refraining from use of culturally influenced language that’s otherwise known as ‘woke speech’. Good material here but narrator couldn’t help but shoe-horn in DEI when discussing the history of paleontology. Takes away from the product.

Historia
The Berlin Wall is perhaps modern history’s most infamous edifice. The Berlin Wall: A World Divided is more than just the story of brick, concrete, and barbed wire. It’s the story of a city, a country, and a world - all of them divided. To hear how the Berlin Wall exemplified this division is to gain insights into a central tension of world history: between the human drive for freedom and the political will that would control and repress that drive.

Good until last 15 minutes

Unfortunately, because why not, somehow the Berlin Wall’s history includes George Floyd and mass immigration. A bit ahistorical to say the least. Great lecture that ventured into low tier fodder at the end.

I wasn’t expecting to enjoy this presentation and lectures as much as I did, but the professor/speaker has a gift for storytelling and immediately identified as the best lecture I’ve listened to on Audible to date.

May 1940: The world is stunned as Hitler's forces invade France with a devastating blitzkrieg aimed at Paris.

Historia
The Civil War is most remembered for the grand battles that have come to define it: Gettysburg, Antietam, Shiloh, among others. However, as bestselling author Patrick K. O’Donnell reveals in The Unvanquished, a vital shadow war raged amid and away from the major battlefields that was in many ways equally consequential to the conflict’s outcome.

I consider myself well versed in the Civil War, but this book introduced so many events and facets I was completely unaware of. Very entertaining and informative. A must listen for anyone interested in Civil War history.

In six lectures, Dr. Shumway and Dr. Wendler will help you understand the nature of neurodiversity, a growing school of thought that seeks to embrace the range of differences in individual brain function and behaviors rather than “correct” them, with a focus on empathy, acceptance, and accommodation.

I made it to the end just to hear what passes as intellectual thinking and science. Nothing redeeming in this unless you want to understand how far we’ve come from having logical conversations about medical conditions and mental health. It’s no wonder we have a mental health crises when we ignore identifying it.

Historia
Between 1937 and 1945, approximately 55 million people perished in the series of interrelated conflicts known as the Second World War. No continent was left untouched, no ocean unaffected. The war led to the eclipse of Europe and the emergence of the United States and the Soviet Union as global superpowers; ushered in the atomic age; produced, in the Holocaust, the most horrific crime ever committed in the history of Western civilization, and led to the end of Europe's colonial empires around the world.
