“Lots of informative vignettes from history often placed in a larger context that usually are not taught in formal courses. I’ve spent many hours enjoying this podcast.”

“I really enjoy listening to the podcast! The length is a little short, but the nice thing about that, is you just get these very interesting short stories, loaded with fact and not a lot of added fluff…which I think is great.”

“I like this podcast. But the Evelyn Nesbit episode needs to be addressed because the podcaster literally says that two historical figures raping children, one of whom kidnapping women and beat them, is “eccentric” and “quirky”. This is obviously disgusting, especially because she refers to one of...”Read full review »

“Great podcast, wish you guys updated more frequently and had longer episodes. But what is going on with Lucy’s voice? Not to be petty but what exactly is happening? It’s like she’s joking with her over pronunciation but then I don’t think she is. Who is speaking like this? I’m sure she is lovely...”Read full review »

“I visited this podcast a few times during the school year when I put together my lessons (HS history). This was a great resource and gave me a lot of little interesting details that I could add to my lectures to make them more interesting. Will definitely be using this again next year. Thank you...”Read full review »

“Each episode beguiles, wrapping tales around one like a warm blanket on a winter’s day til one is insensible of everything but the images & scenes of these wonderful hosts. I love history but the footnotes are always best of all, bringing people & times back, vividly fresh to life.”

“I’m a new subscriber and I’ve only listened to a couple different podcasts so far while I’m at work, but the ones I’ve listened to are educational and interesting. I have never heard of “The Emu War” before today, and I have to say it’s probably one of my favorite history stories to date now. If...”Read full review »

“How can you not love Footnoting History? a) You have a wild assortment of little-known or -appreciated topics, and you are bound to learn something. b) You have an amazing posse of historians writing and presenting the episodes. The divide-and-conquer approach means we listeners get a constant...”Read full review »

“Podcast is just OK, BUT- the host named "Lucy" has an incredibly annoying and very obviously fake British accent. She says in one episode she "studied abroad in England for a time"- (groan). Comes off as incredibly pretentious. Can't listen when she talks about her topic....”Read full review »

And they are actual historians, so they seem to genuinely understand what they’re talking about, and are not out to...”Read full review »

“One of the best. The sense of risk in listening to people talk about various subjects they have "researched" was hard to overcome. Given the shallowness, unprofessionalism and ego-quirks of many podcasters, and the (let's say) apparent lack of real experience among so many, hearing...”Read full review »
