I picked up the audio course at some point and finally listened to it. I found it interesting to hear these short descriptions of preachers through the ages. I would encourage anyone who listens to it to do follow up on some of these folks. Some deny the virgin birth, the resurrection... so in my book, 'good' speakers but not preachers. Some seemed more like actors than true believers.
