I'm really enjoying this podcast! The information is well researched, and the host keeps it focused on the facts but doesn't come across like a robot. Recommended.

I have a question about the opening music. Is it a random piece done by a computer or an actual piece of music written centuries ago? Something about this makes me feel unsettled each time I hear it. I have never experienced anything like this before. I hate to say that I haven't listened to your podcast for a couple of months but right away I got the same feeling. It's almost like deja vu. I hope I'm not sounding too weird because truly I'm not and I'm so glad I started listening again.
