I liked it. Some interesting things. I wish there was a podcast that covered the full Joseph Smith Papers. Disappointed this ended after 6 episodes.
Offers a broader perspective to the specific event, which I really appreciate.
Excellent podcast by historians who know what they're talking about. A deep dive into the First Vision and its contexts, I found this to be faith promoting, unexpected in places and a great way to learn more.
