"I don't think I missed even one lecture. You and your GSI cadre have been absolutely superb. I confess to not having done the reading...yet. But I will eventually do most of it. Thanks again for putting the course together in a way that was interesting and fun. I especially enjoyed the lectures, questions, and ideas you presented in April and May."

"I was a podcast listener to your Spring 2006 History 7B lectures. You are quite a good lecturer and I thoroughly enjoyed American social history as you presented it. I haven't taken a history course since high school and my alma mater (MIT) didn't require it. I'm only now realizing how I've missed out in my education."

“My husband luckily stumbled upon your site a few weeks ago and downloaded several podcast lectures for us to listen to during our trip to Italy. The initial lectures from the History 7B course were among the highlights of our trip -- entertaining us as we traveled in planes, trains, and ferries."
- Drs. Deborah and Jordan C.
“ Your US History survey course is my first foray into “pod casting”, and what a delight. Take you on all my jogs. Thanks.”

"Dr. Burns,
I just wanted to write you a note regarding your History 7B podcast. I have listened up to 'In the Shadow of the Bomb', and have thoroughly enjoyed every lecture. Although I was an avid history student in High school (and always an amateur historian), economic difficulties dictated that I join the Navy instead of going to Uni. Afterwards (due to the training that I received when I was in the service) I followed the money trail and found myself in a lucrative position in London doing IT work. However, listening to your pod cast lectures has made me recall my earlier desire to receive a degree in American History. I plan, with in the next year, to quit my job and use my GI bill to go back to school. So once again, I would like thank you for your lectures.
Warmest Regards,"

“At the present, I'm listening to your lecture and must admit can't wait until I drive to or from work so I can listen.”

“I'm a Berkeley history major from way back in 1982, now living in Dallas, and I have thoroughly enjoyed "sitting in" on your course while driving to and from the office on the Dallas freeways these past few months."
