“This podcast is nothing short of incredible. There are a ton of well-researched history podcasts out there, but this one carefully steps back to talk about why we should care and how we can relate to the info today. A lot of those moments have helped me to put the stories into context. I also...”Read full review »

“Blown away by the episodes I’ve listen too. Zach does an awesome job at breaking down these pivotal events in history. I love that for all the topics we get the macro and the micro as I really love learning about these events within the greater context of the entire world and the little nuanced...”Read full review »

“I have only listened to the Ghosts in the mountains series, but it’s been a phenomenal listen! Couldn’t stop and was binge listening!
The bit I liked the most was that Zac concentrates on the humans behind the conflict, while also going into the geopolitical aspects. Can’t wait to listen to the...”Read full review »

“I don’t understand how this isn’t one of the most popular podcasts out there, it is so good. The writing and story telling is incredible, the topics are always fascinating and the production is great. I never get tired of it, I just wish there were more episodes! Keep it up!”

“History has never been my forte, I got tangled with the what’s, who and when and grew confused and disinterested until now. What an engaging way to learn history, I’m really loving it. I listened to an episode and some weeks later I listen to it again when I’m driving or working because they are...”Read full review »

“Unbiased honest look at historical subjects delivered in a clear thought provoking way. I put this podcast in the same class as hardcore history, although the topics are different it’s the same quality”

“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 »

“This is an excellent podcast. I just finished the episodes about the Yom Kippur and Six Day wars. They offer a detailed history that helps frame the current war. I can’t wait to dive into more podcasts from the Conflicted archives.”

“Really good podcasts which focuses on the narrative/facts and does a good job at leaving biases out or telling from skewered narrative. 10/10 podcast and would recommend to anyone who wants a in-depth interesting history podcast to listen too.”

I don’t know if it’s the sheer amount of...”Read full review »

“I was never able to follow or connect with history class in school. It always felt like an abstract jumble of names and dates. As an adult I’ve decided to crack the subject back open and give it a fair shot. I have tried listening to several history podcasts and while there are many great ones...”Read full review »

“What I like:
1. Detailed research, well articulated
2. Clarity, well cited sources
3. Builds fundamentals and background before jumping into the main topic.
4. Just the right amount of ad-breaks (depends on platform).
5. Well structured, sprinkled with (some) humour
Must listen for all history...”Read full review »

“He sounds like a somewhat prissy high school kid and writes like a high school wiseguy. Whjat interests him most about Edwina Mountbattern is her sex life. I was put off by his dismissal of the British Raj as a "succubus" and "a jackboot on the throat of India" -- you don't...”Read full review »
