Loved these stories. However I kept wishing there was music behind the reading.

You gotta get more episodes. By far my favourite podcast. Where have you gone??

Best history podcast out there by far.

JT Fusco is an amazing storyteller and historian. I have loved the captivating way in which each episode is organized and then vocalized. I discovered the Giants of History podcast at a low period in my life; I had just lost someone that I cared about. This podcast distracted me from my...Read full review »

During this pandemic, I have become am avid podcast listener and I have to say that this one is one of my top choices. I have learned so much more than I did in all the history classes I have taken throughout high school and now, college. Thank you for all the research and sharing with us!!!

Can’t wait for the follow up to the Cleopatra series.

I would have lived to have a history course delivered in this fashion. Very informative and interesting. Can’t wait for the next episode.

I really enjoy this podcast series. I have learned a lot through it and he does a great job at keeping it interesting. The only downside is I wish I could have my kids listen to it because they love history too, but he unfortunately uses foul language too often and some of the episodes get a...Read full review »

Excellent listening but if I had to knock it for something I’d say there isn’t enough stories about dragons in them.

This podcast is very informative without being boring. Just finished listeninf to the Theodore Roosevelt series and it was excellent.

I’ve been following this podcast for more than a year now. Impressed with the way all the important bits are delivered to the point in relatively short episodes without any drama. Highly recommended

I love every episode you make but my problem is that there just needs to be more. I have waited 3 months now just for another Winston Churchill episode. I understand what is happening with your computer crash but by now that hopefully is fixed. Overall great podcasts, but there needs to be more...Read full review »

This podcast had me sitting on the edge of my seat at the exciting parts. This is amazing.

I love my history podcasts. Not sure how I found this one but glad I did. A interesting mix of biographies told in a clear and balanced way. I would thoroughly recommend to everyone.
drsve via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/20/20
Made it somehow through to episode 7 of Winston Churchill. This guy takes a paragraph from a book written by someone else and makes 2 episodes out of it. He uses “for lack of a better word” 10 times per 25 minute episode. He speaks exactly like I would, too many adjectives and repetitively, which...Read full review »

I love your podcast. I listen to it while commuting to work daily and while doing chores. I’ve listened to other history podcasts and they are dry and dull much like reading history books but you make every little detail exciting and fun. Thank you for bringing a freshness to these very...Read full review »

So detailed and narrated thrillingly. I stopped listening to these on my walk to work as I need to sit down and do nothing else to enjoy these even more.
Steve Bannon via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/24/20
From John D. Rockefeller to Cleopatra to Winston Churchill, the orator of this podcast is amazing in his ability to make history real. Everything is extremely well researched, pulling from the highest rated biographies about these historical figures, and making people I hadn’t given a second...Read full review »

A very high quality podcast. Brilliantly researched and superbly delivered.
dickiemail via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 11/14/19
I was so excited to listen to this podcast, especially after reading the reviews. I loved the first one and have since listened to almost all of them. I was disappointed to find that out of all of the episodes there were few focusing on woman. Surely there are many exemplary and interesting women...Read full review »

These are amazing Podcasts! I’ve even learned other things, within the podcast. Eg: BCE and AD as well as the difference in calendars and why we have leap years.. etc. I’m enjoying them so much, I became a Pantheon subscriber. It opened up even more great giants of History.
Wdcpac via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 11/09/19
Truly appreciate the depth of research. Delivery is also delightful. Well done
rhurbarbday via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/27/19
The content is very good! However, multiple podcasts cut out when there’s 5-10 minutes left. It’s very frustrating!
Rapchuk via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 10/14/19
Great content, just slow moving and repetitive background information.
thebigjerry via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 10/10/19
I really enjoy this podcast but what’s up with the long delay between episodes? I check every day for new episodes but nothing???

I’ve been a long time listener of this podcast and it is one of my all time faves. I love the excellent narration of well selected and remarkable people. However I wish the cleopatra series would’ve focused more on Cleopatra instead of Caesar and his murder. Caesar’s story is well told but she’s...Read full review »

I agree, that this one podcast in 4 month jazz don’t cut it! Either your in or your out! Make your mind up and put one out! Podcasts this good shouldn’t have these long gaps.
DIckcountryside via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/27/19
This is by far one of my favorite podcasts. I’ve been studying for the FSOT and find history to be particularly difficult to retain, but this podcast mixes fun facts with significant events that help me remember! And the narrator is excellent-captivating, clear and evidently excited about what...Read full review »

Can you at least send us some sort of book title so we can see how the Churchill story ends? This 1 podcast every 4 months jazz ain’t cutting it.
The Big Dude via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/26/19
I just found you a week ago and am so glad. I’ve been listening almost nonstop since.
Kingdom rush IV via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/03/19
One of the best story teller filling your head with knowledge and perspective on history. This is a must listen too
ed norton flokie via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/26/19
Giants of History is one of my favorite podcasts. Always well researched; interesting. The host is excellent; love his enthusiasm.
Artandmuseumlover via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/01/19
This is a great podcast, but I really wish they made all episodes free of explicit language so that I can keep listening with my kids.
Winkyson via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/24/19
Really love your stories except a couple. Those about Chavez. I know he has his place in history that needs to be known. Just think he was just another crazy guy who went to far in his political left wing communist belief. He became just another murder crazy revolutionary. Sorry I like the good...Read full review »

Always fun. Good crisp delivery.

I discovered this program about a month a go and have devoured both the Teddy and the Cleopatra series. I love the “Now this is important” notes that pull it all together! The stories interjected with the history makes it so human. Moving on to Winston next. . . Eagerly waiting part 2 of...Read full review »

This is for the podcaster. I really want to enjoy the Churchill story, but you unnecessarily drag the story out and rehash details over and over again, ad nauseam. Say something once, or at most twice and we’ll get it. Then move on. The content is good and interesting. Unfortunately I find myself...Read full review »

I have never, EVER listened to a podcast that is so thorough and so researched.

Not even that big history podcast that...Read full review »

This podcast succeeds where others have tried and failed. It is both knowledgeable and EASY TO LISTEN TO! I’ve listened to other historical podcasts that have specifically claimed that they are not that dry college course type, and after listening for only a couple episodes it’s very easy to see...Read full review »
