“It takes around 5-6 minutes to actually get into new info. The first bit is repetitive announcements that are present in every episode, basic prep, and a couple ads. Then you have 2 more ad breaks and the last 2-3 minutes is useless foreshadowing that is going to be talked about in the next...”Read full review »

“Use to be a great podcast and actually learned something about history. Unfortunately, now politics have taken over like everything else. You can distinctly hear the sharp left turn. Will be unsubscribing.”

“Sad to say, I enjoyed this podcast for awhile. Then, I heard the one on the young turks. The narrator refers to them as far right which is irrefutably false. They were leftists and believed in the far left ideology of using social revolution to install radical tyrants. They do so while claiming...”Read full review »

“Wonderful podcast full of exceptionally delivered history. Both need to understand how the word ‘myriad’ works. Hint: It’s an uncountable number. But, gonna say goodbye to a stellar podcast. May Spotify bring you joy!”

“Every two sentences they swap speakers. Why? It’s difficult to listen to and difficult to record I imagine. Great info but I can’t listen to for long without getting a headache. Or maybe anxiety too. I saw one comment that the constant switching of speakers triggers anxiety by those who have ADHD...”Read full review »

“Went from really good show about dictators to Fidel Castro wasn’t so bad, he taught kids to read and we should thank Ho Chi Minh. I feel like I’m in one of Ho’s re-education camps.”

I’m not sure a Communist dictatorship and independence are the same thing. I’d say we should ask the...”Read full review »

“I like the idea of this show but I have 2 critiques. One, the biographies are a bit too basic. Two, it doesn’t engage with leftist critiques of figures like Stalin and Mao. For instance Orwell was a socialist who was a prolific critique of totalitarian ideologies.”

But, why do people in the US consider that North America is just the US? Arrogant and ignorant. North America includes both Canada and Mexico. Makes me wonder what other “facts” are wrong.”

“The male host and female host take turns emotionlessly reading every sentence. So one sentence is mechanically read by the man. The next sentence is read by the women. The next by the man. Then the next by the woman. The awkward arhythmic sing-song effect this gives is utterly distracting. If...”Read full review »

They strike a perfect balance of history & true crime while also keeping it entertaining. A great amount of detail in the horrible atrocities while including great facts about the time period while also having it not come across as too boring/dense.

First off there is plenty of evidence to support the supposition of the deep state issue at least on some level and it is not a blanket racial or ethnic...”Read full review »
