Good overview, but narration is a bit too goofy

This is a good overview of colonial American history from roughly the settlement of Jamestown to just before the French-Indian War. Although some of the events narrativized in this recording are a little over-simplified and in a few places perpetuate untrue grade-school civics class myths, this would accomplish the purpose of helping a high school student pass an AP history exam. The narration is continually goofy, which can understandably help prevent young listeners from getting bored but sometimes the goofiness feels a bit over the top. The narrator tries to do accents for various types of people and usually fails. Sometimes these accents are pretty funny (the pompous and posh, if anachronistic, British accents). Sometimes, however, it can make the listener cringe, as when the narrator tries to mimic African-Americans, Native Americans, and Hispanic people. Most of the narrator's non-Caucasian accents sound like South-Asian Draculas. I would advise this narrator to just not do accents when reading quotes. Some of his accents might be offensive to some listeners. The only other issue with this is the editing: there are LOTS of narration mistakes that were left in the recording. The narrator will flub a word, let out a sigh, wait several seconds, and then make another attempt at the sentence. I'm sure these instances weren't intended to remain in the recording, but the sound editor was apparently not careful enough to remove them.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
