Have been listening to a couple of the 1001 channels. It is informative, amusing, and enlightening. Keep the podcast coming. I drive a lot of miles and these keep me attentive between my stops. Love the content and clarity of the stories.

Very good podcast. However, the intro music blows out Myers when listening on my AirPods.

Thank you dear Jon for this podcast. I learn so much from all your insight and gentle teaching in this and all the 1001 family of podcasts. Patty Peebles Bluefield West Virginia. I’m amazed every time I listen.

I have been listening to the 1001 family of podcasts for several years and I always find that it’s well done from the stories for entertainment to the bios of places and events from the past. It has been great to see the scope and content grow and diversify across the different casts. Thanks...Read full review »

I wasn’t a very good student in school but I wish I had this podcast then. You’re peaked my interest in history.

A professionally made podcast that keeps listeners engaged. A pleasant surprise to find a podcaster that doesn’t try to be a comedian and or bore us with 20 minutes of what they’ve done since their last podcast.

John, the Battle of Blair Mountain was gripping. I was astonished at how the state of West Virginia and the coal industry were allied against the mine workers. I am so heartened by the trials of the leaders of the miners union where most were set free. The updates to 2018 mean that the battle...Read full review »

I like the information given. I do not like the fact that this author talks about modern politics. Keep your politics out of my entertainment. i’m trying to learn about cool historical things not get upset about current presidential races.

Well researched, well presented, informative, and enjoyable. I really do like this podcast. The host does a great job of making this both educational and very easy to listen to.

I love this show. Great history!

I’ve listened to this podcast for a year now and it has me waiting for every Sunday night. Very casual history fan, but this has me researching areas of history i never before regarded. Thanks for great content Jon!

Just listened to two great pod casts on 1001 Heroes Legends Histories and Mysteries … one about the making of the movie Casablanca and one called ‘We Had it All’ about Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. So interesting and informative! Jon continues to deliver great stories in all his 1001...Read full review »

I went to look up more information about the Hesse Crown Jewels Heist after listening to the podcast episode about it, and found that the host read most of the episode word-for-world from articles published by the National WWII Museum, without crediting those articles or their author, Kali...Read full review »

Great podcast! Slight pronunciation correction: Goliad is pronounced “goal-ee-add” with emphasis on the “goal” sound.

I’m British, I appreciate freedom and understand politics of the free nations is our biggest disappointment? I love history, no matter what the story and who has created the history? This podcast is clearly read and very varied on its subjects, well worth getting in to listening!
Kkns5693 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 06/15/23
For the most part I have enjoyed Jon Hagadorns podcast, as long as he sticks to the subject at hand. However I have noticed on several episodes he injects his conservative politics into the discussion. Also, I feel he invites certain authors that join his podcasts, that expound and support his...Read full review »

Wow. Wanted to know more after this episode and, before looking for more detailed sources I went to the Wikipedia page only to discover the very same text from the podcast! Basically the podcast was someone reading the Wikipedia article aloud. Verbatim. If only there was a name for that. Oh...Read full review »

I’ve listened to many of your podcasts and find that your voice, subject matter and narration are interesting, relaxing and educational. Currently listening to the John Wayne podcasts. He is my all time favourite actor. Keep up the good work. A listener from Alberta Canada.
Hrsoffun via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 04/25/23
Very interesting podcast about John Wayne’s life. Especially liked how you showed him to be a real person and not just a movie icon. To add to your story, I wanted to tell you about a friend of mine who was an extra in the movie The Horse Soldiers. He was one of the boys from the Virginia...Read full review »

Great story about “The Duke”. John Wayne was a real guy, warts and all, but he was a Man and a good one at that. He influenced a generation of good men. However the pendulum has swung the other way, and now Wayne and his ilk bring out the shrill cries from todays “social warriors”. He...Read full review »

Listen to a real history podcast instead. This has the politics and the accuracy of a fringe Reddit thread.
Ryan M3 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/16/23
I have listened to your podcast for a some time now. Jon, you have created a wonderful podcast! Keep up the good work, I truly appreciate all the time and effort. Many blessings from me to you.🙏💞 Darrell Marchbank

Thank you for sharing the information on Tornadoes! I live in South Central Ky! I have seen the destruction an F3 can do and I am a bit more prepared to survive after hearing what an F5 can do! Ultimately I am in Gods hand!

If you like right wing politics and religion in your podcasts, this is for you.
Johnford1963xxxx via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/30/23
I really enjoy listening to all your shows but the sound effects are extremely annoying and make it hard to listen. Please get rid of them!
shizit01 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/12/23
It was King William’s war not King Phillip’s war. You’re off by over a decade. Also, your presentism is uninspiring. Will not listen again.
Ardestad via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/12/23
I loved learning some of the intimate details of the fighting men.

A very good podcast. Interesting and highly recommended. This guy is a very good story teller!

Absolutely love this podcast
mailman c via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/19/23
One of the best podcasts ever. I love the diversity of this show. One question why did you change the cover thing? I like the old one more, but that doesn’t change the quality of the show!!! Absolute perfection!! Thank you!!
cooooool duuuuuuuudeeee via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/14/23
Such interesting stories and so well told.
Crystalline 400 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/06/23
Listening to Blackbeard episode and I am going to give up. Story is amazing but there is so much paper shuffling background noise! Impossible to listen.
incognito82 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/04/23
The topics are well researched and delivered in such a thought provoking manner, it’s easy to listen and stay mentally engaged with. Jon is a great interviewer who asks good questions as if he too is intrigued with every interviewee and the topic discussed.
Conderium via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/19/22
As a college student and full-time employee, I rarely get a chance to sit down and physically watch something. 1001 give me the ability to be physically active at work and still freshen up on my history knowledge. Thank you Jon for being an incredible host!!!
tayayvs se via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/15/22
It was difficult to listen to this podcast because of the obvious bias of the story writer. The story could have been told much better without all the political commentary. I listen to podcasts, because I don’t appreciate political commentary from anyone, especially in the toxic political...Read full review »

Interesting facts, occasional bias comes in but easily ignored. Keeps me connected to the greatest generation
tamichawk84 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/08/22
Jon being of a younger generation, I’m a baby boomer, occasionally mispronounces a name or word. It used to bug me a little, but, Jon, you do a fantastic job reading these. At 71 years old, you make me smile, laugh, and sometimes cry. You enrich my life. THANK YOU!! Bogie & Becall was awesome
