USA listener 🙋🏼‍♀️ Finally something good! These guys have so much love of history and so fun to listen too! Recommended from our family in the UK. Great stuff.

Loved this show when it first appeared. Poor choices of alliances with advertisers and the repeated interjection of political views has made it tiresome and irritating. Give us history from the unbiased standpoint that it should be delivered from or change the name of the show.

Good with caution

They’re wonderful storytellers but so so strongly from a conservative white male English point of view that sometimes they say things that just leave your jaw on the ground. Terrifying that they teach children but if you have critical thinking skills and love history you can learn a lot. Just be prepared for some “did they really just say that?” moments.

Great for kids, too!

My 12- and 14 y.o. daughters live this podcast as much as I do! It’s great at filling in the gaps and filling out our understanding of ancient, medieval and modern history! We love all the book recommendations and my kids have even asked to go to the library for some of the times recommended on the podcast! Thank you, Tom and Dominic!

Best of the best
