I have been a fan of Great Courses for many years but you aren’t doing yourself any favors with “The Torch”. There is nothing there that is more recent than 2017. I know Great Courses can do better than this. Three years of dead air is unacceptable. There is so much more Great Courses could do with podcasts if anyone cared. My rating is for “The Torch” not for Great Courses itself, which deserves 5 stars. I agree.

Great courses giving the people what they want!

This is a beautiful podcast. It would be helpful to the listener if there was an "info" button to get a short synopsis of the episode, especially since the title often runs of the screen.

this podcast will let your curiosity explode.

So far I've only heard two, but both were some of the most educational 30 minutes I think I've ever experienced!

I’ve listed to 3 of these and found them all interesting. One of them was interesting enough that I purchased the related course.

I love this podcast. Each one has an intellectual sampler of different fascinating topics. I laugh, think, and often re-think things I thought I new -- every episode. The professors are charming, often witty, and offer a lot of insight in just a few minutes of their interviews. Highly recommended.

This is a great way to find new course they are offering. I'm a big fan of the great courses and own a few via audible. This is a great way to get introduced to other teachers and get some information on new topics you might not hear about otherwise unless you looked for them. Great job. Love the host as well. Good voice and awesome questions.

I have been a fan of the Great Courses, in fact, I go back so far that it was known as the Great Courses on Tape. While listening to these courses which are done by some of the smartest and most talented people, there are always new courses and information which you don't always notice or have time to review. This podcast gives interviews with the professors who are creating new courses. The information is interesting and exciting, and the production quality of this podcast is at the highest level. All the podcasts I have listened to so far have been very entertaining. I would recommend this podcast to anyone, and one you will always be "chomping at the bit" to get new segments for.
