“I’ve listened to a few of these and the topics are interesting but the guests are practically lecturing ad nauseum rather than having a conversation with the host. I find this style harder to follow than a more conversational approach.”

“Each succeeding episode seems like the best one I’ve listened to yet. I only “discovered” BFW some 43 podcasts ago but your format is eminently “binge-able.” Super guest list. I want to matriculate with a major in American History all over again.”

“This show has gone off on a weird tangent, far from where it started. Not really a history podcast anymore. More of a social commentary, mostly of race, ethnicity and gender. I listen to old episodes, but anything from the last year or so is uninteresting and unlistenable.”

“The topics are interesting. But when I hear the episode, a lot of unnecessary words and meaningless questions during interview. It makes the audience feel impatient. Much of the content can be cutdown to make it more appealing.”

“The prisoner of war story interested me greatly, however I got very little out of the podcast due to terrible audio from the guest/expert. I was in my car and the hum and so on from the road coupled with garbled quality of the guests words (not to mention his accent), made it so I could hardly...”Read full review »

“There are so many episodes; so much content. I was excited when I ran across this show. I’ve tried a handful of times now to listen to randomly chosen episodes. Without fail my eyes have glazed over in boredom within ten minutes. I quickly lose interest. The dry, textbook delivery is killing me....”Read full review »

“One of my favorite podcasts in any genre until i hear "Gender, Race, & the First Vaccine" in a little squeaky voice and now i must delete you from my library. History is simply facts that already happened. Keep the identity politics out of it. Can't you see it ruins everything.”Read full review »

“I tuned in to learn some good, and some bad, early American history
I was greeted with a few dozen professors of history giving their liberal talking points on episode 300 of how racist America is
Thanks for that

“If you want to listen to real history don’t waste your time with this podcast. It is clearly left wing propaganda that unapologetically presents history through the lens of critical race theory. I am perplexed by it’s 4.5 star rating.”

“But as noted by others, the host’s tendency to attempt to add, what?-drama, phony gravitas ??? via irritating pauses peppered throughout a single sentence is maddening.
