I have no problem with the courses. Chess hasn't changed in my lifetime and the Bible hasn't in a few thousand years. My issue was customer no service for GC Plus autopay. After my credit card was hacked and I was issued a new card, GC never contacted me the next billing cycle. EDIT: They did contact me but I get so many emails, theirs was buried under a hundred+ in a few days. I found their email, replied, they contacted me and explained what I needed to do and it's all good now.

I have been with the Great Courses for 20+ years. I purchased several courses from them without any issues. When they started their streaming service around 2015, The Great Courses Plus, I was quite excited to have access to so many courses. I had to contact customer service when I realized I had signed up with two different email addresses, one for the Great Courses and the other for the Great Courses Plus. They helped me combine the two accounts into one. Anytime I have had a question, customer service has been great. I just called today to find out about Wondrium as they changed their name to it but now web searches redirect to the Great Courses Plus. So, in recent years they have gone through some reorganizing the company. The Great Courses has combined with the Great Courses Plus and the name Wondrium is no longer - it was not a good fit from what customer service explained. It is sad that a few people have had difficulties with returns during the company's reorganzaiton and that it hasn't been made clear, it seems, as tp what is going on and why there are delays. I sincerely, hope that those issue are taken care of and that the company addresses them on this forum. I would give the company more stars if I could. Thank you.

Best entertainment value anywhere. As an added channel on to Amazon Prime you can learn about many interests. Not exactly PhD level courses, but better than standard television (discovery channel etc). The complete courses are rather comprehensive.

I have been enjoying courses from this company for the last ten years, in the fields of history, linguistics, science, literature, music, economics, theology and photography. With one exception [The World Was Never the Same by Rufus Fears] they have all been excellent. I have listened to some of them more than once. These courses have broadened my outlook on life, educated me, and entertained me [especially anything by Profs Robert Greenberg and John McWhorter]. They give you your money back without question if you don't like a course. What's not to like?

Amazing. Top class Professors numerous courses to listen to some have 24 lectures. Like going to University ( I did in the 70's) but at £18 a month! But why almost all American lecturers?
