Listened to this series from episode 1 and it started out as an actual podcast, but for the last 1.5 years has only been a promotion for other podcasts by iheart radio. Moving on to podcasts from this advertisement for the companies other podcasts.

From being a phenomenal must listen to podcasts to pure weird commercials? I have kept it on my list to see if they finally would come back but nothing. Don’t even give it a try anymore!

This show is great. However, you are the company you keep. Any connection to a blatant racist like Ibram X Kendi is too much for me. Just because you say you’re “anti” doesn’t make it less racist.

So far I like it. Hitler suffered from Parkinson’s disease.

Sad to see more and more historians changing their tune to abide by the cancel culture. Ever since the Civil War it’s always been a Democrat that’ suppressed rights.

Loved these when they first came out. I have listened to all of them to date, but have found that these stories continue to choose heroes and villains (historians should seek to be a little more objective...), leave out important details, and pick sides in political grey areas. I will not be...Read full review »

Are you seriously celebrating the Portland riots!?! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed “Flashback,” yet feel used. Do you vet the promos to your subscribers before they are pushed out and rattle many of us? I feel gullible and resent being blasted with promo in support of senseless Portland riots. In...Read full review »

Sean Braswell has a great voice for hosting this very interesting podcast. I truly enjoy all the thread connections. I’ve listened to them all! I’m ready for the next season. When are you returning for the new season? I’m going crazy without a good podcast to follow!!!

I really enjoy the stories explored by this show, the editing and the storytelling. The only detail that I find unpleasant is the frankly excessive advertising of other podcasts at the beginning, end and middle of each episode.

I’ve learned some fascinating things from this podcast, particularly the one about Henry Ford and the one about Hitler.
Merejohn via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/04/20
I agree that the ads are inappropriately placed and frustrating. The host’s excessive mouth noises distract me to the point I cannot listen too frequently The stories are, however, fascinating

I’ve been enjoying the podcast but I think there may be something wrong with the Grace Kelly piece. The Hotel DuPont has long been known as the location of Prince Rainier’s proposal to Grace Kelly, not in NY Central Park. I’d love to know the truth!

Greatly enjoying the stories of connecting acts of history to the impacts on our lives. Very well done.

So far I have only picked and chosen the episodes, but I have enjoyed the three that I have listened to so much that I have now subscribed. Fascinating stuff.

Loved the ones about the cigarettes and Hitler doctor.
Aroura603 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/19/20
I enjoyed the detailed history of the first few episodes and thought this was a really cool podcast but as the episodes progressed there were more and more allusions to leftist politics. The point where you were praising a book hailed by Jeremy Corbin (like the vicious antisemite Jeremy Corbin)...Read full review »

These are terrific. I love history and there is always a story behind the story. Thanks for researching and sharing!

Really well put together podcast. I’ve learned so much about amazing people that did not get the spotlight they deserved. Thank you for sharing their stories!

This podcast is great! People that complain about commercial are the same people that complain about everything else. People gotta make a living!

hard to listen when I am hit with the romance podcast ads every 5 minutes. Kyle seems like a great guy but I am not happy about whatever that crappy podcast is supposed to be... When the actual podcast is on, I think it is amazing and really enjoy the insights and connections through history.

Love it - my newest favorite

This podcast is AMAZING. Succinct, seamlessly edited, funny, and extraordinarily eye-opening. It truly is the history class you’ve always wished existed.

Hitter had Parkinson’s disease

I love you podcasts. Listen to them during my walks. Learn lots of history that I did not know because I am an immigrant
SwissMiss48 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/23/20
Being a history junkie, these pods have been food for my soul. Knowing “the rest of the story” and the story within the story is very refreshing. Also during DoC (Days of Covid) it has been a great outlet

No fancy voices or other add-ons needed. Just fascinating stories from history told very well.
El Maestro! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/03/20
This podcast has far too many commercials. There are many other podcasts with equal or better content without the incessant pitches. And the dialogue is too sophomoric. Who says “what did we learn this week” in an adult podcast? I’m done.

The cause-and-effect links are tenuous at best historically speaking. But to tie Little House on the Prairie to Tim McVeigh? That’s a bridge too far.

What an absolute delight listening to this podcast: well researched, social context, history and also a very easy listen-to voice

Really enjoying these unique takes on history. Can’t wait for more!
santiagojon via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/23/20
Am finding the episodes informative, enjoyable, and worthwhile. Just wish the facts about life before AC had included mention of the interim cooling system, i.e. evaporative cooling. It’s not as if residents in Phoenix, for instance, went from nothing to air conditioning, from complete misery to ...Read full review »

Definitely enjoying this Podcast. Learn something new every day! That’s my motto. This is an unexpected way to learn many

Look into the unintentional consequences of planting male only trees in cities and towns in parks and along streets. What planners had hope and what really happened. This podcast in fascinating.

I heard about this podcast on Revisionist History, through Malcolm Gladwell. I knew I had to check it out, and I’m so glad I did, because this podcast went straight to my top 5. The most interesting stories, great attention to detail and an overall educational and enriching experience. Thank you ⭐️

...left because of the ads. Like most podcasts now, the information density is extremely low.

Episode 6 is so enlightening. Well done once again.

Mr.
Recently discovered this podcast. Have learned so much. Educational and entertaining. Look forward to listening to all the choices.

My father turned me onto this podcast and it’s a great listen!
Jazzermama via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/06/20
I’m a newer listener to podcast, and a huge history freak. I love knowing little facts about how we got to where we are today. This show lays out history in a way that is easy to follow and also includes details that are interesting to know. Probably my favorite podcast about predated events!
DestinyNicole44 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/04/20
Really cool!

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all the topics covered by Flashback. The storytelling while sticking to the data while remaining objective makes this podcast particularly interesting. I recommend it to everyone that enjoys good, unbiased reporting.
