This show has a unique perspective and goes into little details about the personalities involved that is usually missing from other shows.

Found Cullen on "Fix Bayonets!" podcast. Absolutely riveting presentations. You can tell the research was exhaustive. Delivers serious history with a little sarcasm and editorial comment. Quite enjoyable. Recommend to anyone interested in history with a modern twist. Bravo!Read full review »

Excellent summaries, not too detailed or too shallow.

I have been a fan of Cauldron for years. It is one of the best history podcasts out there. Cullen has put together a formula where each podcast is both entertaining and informative. Great concept, excellent material, professional production, and a voice like Orion Welles.

History as it should be told. Well research, engaging storytelling, and fascinating subjects. Listen to one episode and you will be hooked. Excellent!

Unlike other shows about history your podcast episodes stand out by being unformulaic; I love your intro’s, that you devote more than 30 minutes on episodes - many thanks and you’re now my # 1 listen.

Great mix of facts/education and captivating storytelling. I would call Callen Burke ”Dan Carlin light”, and I mean that in a good way. Just finished the episode about the battle of Poltava. As a swedish history buff I’m very familiar with the story and I think the episode was factual correct...Read full review »

With excellent production, thorough research and a casual candor; Cauldron feels like a combination of Dan Carlin and a conversation with your friend’s cool dad. It’s been exciting to watch this little podcast grow into something great. I’m stoked to see how far Cullen can take it.

It’s great to see a young man with so much knowledge share his thoughts and put it out there for other people to listen to. Great for me when I don’t have as much time to read and can just enjoy listening to things that really interest me. Great work young man!!!!

Cullen does a fantastic job of presenting battles that range from antiquity to post WWII.
Groundhog55 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/05/20
I’m very glad I found this podcast. The information is outstanding and the battles covered are varied and interesting. Many of the battles I wasn’t very familiar with and learned a lot. The battles I am familiar with were worth listening to because the delivery style is outstanding. This podcast...Read full review »

Cullen is awesome! Keeps my interest the whole time. This is the only podcast that has gotten me to write a review because I respect the authors hard work so much. Thanks, Joe in CT.
Joe in CT. via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/15/20
Found myself here to learn more specifically about the Battle of Passchendaele and was very impressed. War podcast can sometimes bounce around because each thing effects another but this one stays on the line, focuses on specific parts before moving on, and breaks it down for anyone to...Read full review »

rsabia17 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/25/19
Cullen’s voice is perfect for a podcast about history’s battles! I have a hard time listening to Dan Carlin’s podcast because I hate his voice so much. The research done before each episode is meticulous as well. Awesome podcast.

Absolutely amazing from explaining the tactics to the history to the human experiences of these battles Cullen covers these and does it so well. Highly recommended

This podcast is great for filling the time between Dans legendary hardcore history episodes. Cullen is wonderful to listen to and lays out in-depth step by step battles. He is still figuring out the format but is still great to listen too!
tboyle45 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/28/19
This series has been amazing, I love the way Cullen brings not just the battles, but also the history before and after the battles to life. Cullen really does put his heart into each episode. Truly one of the best podcast I’ve ever listens too. I can’t wait to hear more.
Luke Schmitt via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/24/19
A great podcast! I got clued in after hearing about it on a ww1 podcast I enjoy. Thanks man, and keep up the good work. It’s all about the history! Maybe take a look at the largest tank battle in history, Kursk. I’ve always had an awful lot of respect for the Russian T-34, quite the machine!
wildo4501 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/22/19
I’ve been listening to these since the first once came up. The quality has only gotten better, as I’m sure it will continue to do so. The shows are brief, fully informative, fair, and fun. I’ll listen to them for as long as he does them.
