“I love this dark, yet still lighthearted, take on history. The hosts feel fresh and modern rather than listening to a stuffy old professor. I find it quite funny that it has been given some bad reviews for being “woke”! Leave us little snowflakes to enjoy this podcast and go listen to one of the...”Read full review »

“Really enjoy listening to the more historical perspectives on well known and lesser well known chilling takes. Only wish the male presenter would stop going ‘yeah yeah’ every other second each time the other presenter is making a point. Stop interjecting with your thinking process.”

“The hosts and guests really bring the characters in history come to life. Its refreshing to hear the passionate love of history coming from such an accessible angle. Often it can be stuffy and dull but not at After Dark. I only wish the podcasts were longer. I could listen to them talk history...”Read full review »

“Normally absolutely love all History Hit podcasts. But I found this one troublesome. It seemed to skip over the fact that Hamilton raped at least one women, possibly more (used false representations to trick into them into an intimate relationship). But because they were queer they are seen as...”Read full review »

“I tried one episode (Bigfoot) and the constant joking and bantering between the hosts was childish. You aren’t funny, can you understand this? The fake over the top emphasis on laughing at every single one of your own jokes and supposedly witty comments is not entertaining. Get over yourselves....”Read full review »

Good show when you can get used to her stupid...”Read full review »

Opinions about why historical characters did what they did from the non-expert...”Read full review »

But, they don’t claim knowledge they don’t have so that’s okay. The Irish perspective...”Read full review »

It’s a shame because otherwise it’s an interesting idea. I’m just not sure how much...”Read full review »
