“This is a regular listen for me, the content is fantastic and not every podcast is necessarily elevated by the host and narration, but Don Wildman certainly does that here. His enthusiasm and own knowledge about the subjects he covers really makes this special compared to some other history...”Read full review »

“It’s funny living on the south shore in Massachusetts, I could have sworn Braintree, MA is south of Boston. Not north as you say in the beginning of the Hancock episode.”

“4/15/24 Update: Overall still a good show with good topics, but sometimes the hosts “oversells” the talking points in order to satisfy today’s political buzzwords and internet clickbait culture. He seems obsessed with retrospection. The JFK Conspiracy episode and the Grant episode are examples of...”Read full review »

“I absolutely love this podcast and the host! I never know what the next topic is going to be and somehow it’s always just what I needed to hear. Each episode is well researched and has a good story to it. I like the guests he picks and listening to Don’s perspective on the topic. He’s just like...”Read full review »

“Hard to chose a favorite episode but if I had to I’d chose the episode about Al Capone and the Mobster Museum. I’d love to hear more about the Old Mob Days!

“The podcast topics are fun. The host is a little creepy. Almost every topic involves some portrayal of good guys vs. bad guys. And of course, the good guys are always Indians, Africans, and women. The bad guys, European men. Silly, but I believe the host thinks that nonsense is true. Poor guy....”Read full review »

“Really wish we could just get shoes that was in the middle and tells it’s stories with no agenda. In my opinion this show is like many others and ruins a chance to stand out due to being woke. Immediately unsubscribed once the woke side became obvious”

“I’m listening to the episode about the Empire State Building and it gave me the idea for a topic to cover.

“I’ve enjoyed the podcast since it has started. But I wish the host would turn the woke switch off and just stick to delivering the history. Yes a lot of bad things happened in the past, that is why we need to know everything about our history. So we don’t repeat it.”

“I enjoy this podcast. I think I was thinking it was the end all be all on what really happened in history. And then I started hearing things that could be true but were being stated as fact when the scholarship simply isn’t there.
