“Great podcast! The only reason it isn’t a five star review is because you cited the prophet Muhammad’s wife Ayesha as being 12 years old upon marriage when she was in fact 6 years old. I’m not sure if it was political correctness or an honest mistake but nonetheless you are an amazing story teller!”

“I wasn’t going to leave a review, but after reading the negative reviews, felt like I should. This is a great podcast. I appreciate the amount of research that must go into these. I can’t imagine the amount of reading that goes into a two hour podcast. Plus I like how the narrator gives me a...”Read full review »

“Just love this podcast. The presenter tells history like a page-turner of a novel, but still manages to balance various perspectives and to handle the complexity of situations. I never come out of an episode thinking there’s a clear “good guy”. I started with the Partition of India (a must...”Read full review »

“Conflicted is my favourite history podcast at current. Vivid examples and personal accounts are used to hook the listener, and only add to the rich depth of history being told. Great depth while not being long. I started with the Gulf War series and have been addicted since!”

“1.) THE SHOW: All history is interesting – to a point. the most modish we learn in primary school. From there, replications of the “lesson”rudiments throughout our life. It may come up in discussion, faceted into an allegory, made into a media sensation.
• So we see a mention of the event and...”Read full review »

“This podcast is nothing short of incredible.

A lot of those moments have helped me to put the stories into context. I also...”Read full review »

“Like someone else pointed out, good content but so many quotations that the narrator calls out. And while he says "quote" on the front end, he drops the consonants stops and says "en-quo". It's not the worst thing, but when you hear "en-quo" a couple times a minute for...”Read full review »

3. Builds fundamentals and background before jumping into the main topic.

5. Well structured, sprinkled with (some) humour
Must listen for all history...”Read full review »
