“What a great series. There’s an awful lot of detail which helps to paint a lot of colour in to the French Revolution. Rather than Grey History I’d be tempted to call it ‘Colourful History’!”

“I first heard of this podcast on a joint episode with the (near-flawless) History of Egypt podcast and then just binged the whole thing. It’s a thrilling story told by someone who knows his stuff, doesn’t mind a fun tangent, and clearly LOVES his subject. Will Clark integrates timeline,...”Read full review »

“Excellent production makes this podcast easy to listen to. Grey History presents history that you’ve probably never heard. It’s a multi-layered presentation of history- social, political, and spiritual aspects of history are featured to bring a well rounded view of events. Well done!!”

“I was appalled to read the 1-star review posted under this person’s name. It bears no relationship to the reality of this excellent, comprehensive examination of a very involved period. Tastes vary, obviously, and I am a big fan of Mike Duncan’s treatment of the French Revolution too. But Will...”Read full review »

It is also an in depth analysis of the events of the time and how they play a part...”Read full review »

Pretty sure the only negative comments are from folk that pride themselves on being hyper critical and therefore lack any value....”Read full review »

“The podcast is well researched and interesting; however, it looses a star for (i) the weird cymbal crash on both sides of quoted language (if you are going to say x said the cymbal crash is kind of pointless) and (ii) the verbal crutch of “I digress” that is used about 2 trillion times.”
