I was hoping somebody more learned than I can give me a general idea of how reliable the information presented in "Stuff You Missed in History Class" is.

I haven't always been so pleased with the productions from How Stuff Works when they wander into my areas of expertise, so I'm a bit skeptical of their "Stuff You Missed in History Class" podcast. Unfortunately, history is not an area in which I have much knowledge, so they could be telling me all kinds of non-evidence-supported hearsay, and I wouldn't know the difference.^(†) Now, I don't expect an episode-by-episode breakdown, certainly, but a general idea of how reliable they are would be appreciated. Can I take everything they say at face value? Should I generally accept their assertions, but with a grain of salt? Or is the quality low and unscholarly enough such that I should just pass on the podcast altogether?

Bonus Question: Any other, specific recommendations for high-quality, evidence-based history podcasts?

Thanks for your input on this particular matter, but also for your collective commitment to academic rigor in general; this place has become my go-to for history-related inquiries solely because I know I can place a high degree of confidence in the community's responses.

^^† ^(To my chagrin, that actually happened to me with Dan Carlin's stuff; I listened to nearly all of his podcasts before learning that his factual accuracy can be...spotty. Now, I can only wonder how much of the information I assimilated is flawed, or just straight up wrong. It's a bad feeling, and I'd like to avoid that in the future.)
