“BBC, an operation w/ your history of twchnical quality and world class gravitas oughtta be defunded for casting audio whose interviews sound as though host and guest were speaking in the bottom of a metal a trash can.”

“One of the best. Wide range of topics and interviews with experts. Bit disappointed in Alina’s rude treatment of the fellow talking about Scandinavia. He received rough treatment for a guest.”

“You can come to History Hack for
pretty much anything that takes your fancy history-wise. What you can be assured of is that it will be well covered and interestingly told. There’s a good line-up of hosts and lots of learned guests. And occasionally they all go to the pub.”

“You’re Dead To Me, Not Just The Tudors, Gone Medieval and the vast majority of History Extra are all great history podcasts. This one will make you appreciate them even more.”

“I know that this show is no longer solely hosted by Alex and Alina, but I swear that there is still only one good microphone among the group of additional hosts that they’ve brought on board.
I have not listened to every single episode (I skip Down the Pub) but I have listened to 250 episodes or...”Read full review »

“I came here because I heard about the Sharpe episodes and I ended up really enjoying listening to the cast members talk about the highs and lows of filming the series. While I was here I found lots of other fascinating episodes too. I wish I had discovered this a year ago in lockdown!”

“I really enjoy History Hack, it’s the informality that makes it so unique! It’s like eavesdropping on a group of friends in the pub, except it’s informative. I just have a quibble with the audio. I listen the majority of the time in the car and find myself cranking up the volume and still...”Read full review »

“Listening to today’s podcast regarding Princes in the Renaissance. The guest lecturer stated that there were only 2 non-Italian popes. All credibility was lost at that point. What about the Borgias? Obviously there are more. Even if Wikipedia is 3/4 wrong, there are still more than 2 non-Italian...”Read full review »

“Unnecessary foul language and an unnecessary “...entitled straight white man” comment....Louise Creechan is trash. There are much better history podcasts out there. Avoid this one.”

“Really enjoyable history podcast that covers so many different topics. Always a good listen.
The Down the Pub shows add some good fun to the mix.
Also haven’t had any big issues with audio quality. I work in a loud shop and with earbuds in haven’t had an issue
Keep up the great work!!!”

“Oh dear... without doubt the worst excuse for a podcast I have ever heard. A group of ‘dull’ adolescents, with seemingly no self awareness, talking utter drivel. If you find non stop ‘effing and blinding’ and jokes about one of the party who has suspected Covid, together with continuous ‘ um’,...”Read full review »

(Sometimes a little smutty.) I always learn something. It’s always entertaining. Pick and choose if you like, but some...”Read full review »

“It’s not the content of this podcast that gets my two stars, it’s the audio quality. As much as I’d like to listen to it, it’s is too difficult to understand, even using ear buds. I gave up.”

“Production quality is often atrocious.
Their defense of Churchill loses any subtlety, their prescription for understanding their hero, when they spend an inordinate amount of time proving that Churchill was not as bad a Hitler and Stalin. Mind you, they are defending him against charges from a...”Read full review »

“Just found your podcast and immediately gravitated to the Band of Brothers episodes.
Listened to and loved the Historians episode and cannot wait to move through the others.
Thanks from Arizona, U.S.A.”

Slightly off the wall and irreverent - just the ticket.

Also, anyone who can facilitate a Sharpe Reunion on air is an absolute...”Read full review »
