I agree completely with this. I almost view/use him as a historical Wikipedia. He has gotten me interested in so many historical topics I previously wasn't interested in, e.g. the first World War. After many of his series, I track down his sources (usually on his website) and read those books. I love finding the tidbits from his shows in the broader context of the original books.
