I have a short attention span yet, listen to this podcast for hours at a time. Elliot brings life to every story. The WW2 episodes are my favorite, but they’re are all worth listening to. These heroes should not be forgotten. Great job!

Elliot - I enjoy your podcast - good work. However, in Part 5 of your series on Stalingrad, you say that Goebbels outlived the war and was prosecuted at Nuremberg Trials. This is incorrect. Goebbels killed his 6 children, his wife, and himself on May 1, 1945. (I think you also go a little easy on...Read full review »

Info was generic but some of the most important parts regarding Khalid was missed. Especially regarding his acceptance of Islam and how he got his title sword of Allah.

… And I thought I knew just about all there was to know about World War II, of which my father was a veteran. However, I am learning a lot more these days through your most wonderful podcast. You supply human details that are stranger than fiction. Thank you for your excellence!

This is a great podcast with greet in-depth research and knowledge. Often focuses on figures that I’ve never heard of but were game changers and saviours of their country / culture. You just must subscribe and listen

He tells well-researched and deeply human stories that bring the historical figures and the people around them to life in an authentic way. His narration is both objective and culturally sensitive. I appreciate that I don’t detect some of the intellectual pitfalls of many Western historians...Read full review »

Eliot is a master story teller, who’s passion for history grabs your attention from start to finish. Whether or not you like history or a particular podcast subject is irrelevant. Once you start listening to a heroic tale told by Eliot Gates, you’ll be hooked.

The host delves into historical that are not too common. I mean, who knew that Hungary was a great power that was laid low by one battle. Exciting to hear about it. Can’t wait for part 2! His voice is great. Great show!

I really enjoy the way he discusses historical figures that people should know more about. My favorite episodes are about Skanderbeg and Prince Eugene of Savoy! Overall I’m excited to hear more from him, plus he has a great accent!

Enjoyable and easy to listen to podcast about lesser know historical figures. Eliot’s research is in depth and he offers opposing views of the same incident.

I love learning history, but usually the stories are told in such a boring way. Not that way here! The host keeps it entertaining and really paints the picture for you. The stories are super interesting and some serious research and effort goes into creating this. Well done!

I found this podcast through a recent obsession with King Alfred the Great - I have listened to many podcasts and read lots about him, but still learned so much from the two episodes Elliot made. I’ve since listened to many other of his episodes and they’re all the perfect balance of factual...Read full review »

This is a Very Smart Pod , I love listening to this content so real and informative.
Cristie Sotto via Apple Podcasts · Philippines · 06/20/21
In a crowded history podcast market Anthology of Heroes manages to have a distinct voice and style. It’s always illuminating, funny and just the right length. So many podcasts love the sound of their own voice and drone on but AoH never out stays its welcome. Highly recommended…👌

This show is well researched and engrossing. The episode about the “cannibal emperor” is dark and fascinating.

TacosMcGee94 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 01/01/21
I’ve only ever heard about Skanderbeg from “crazy” uncles that would bring him up at family gatherings. It was interesting hearing about the history from a more unbiased third party teller.
