Like many before me have said, Chris’s podcast is a wonderful account of the history and pre-history of our world. Episodes are super informative, thoroughly researched and well presented and it’s truly a joy to listen to this show on my long journeys to work. I particularly like the section...Read full review »

Been listening to the podcast a while now and I’m hooked. Currently on the Peloponnese episodes and it feels like things are starting to accelerate. Your humble dedication to this project is an inspiration. I also needed a soothing podcast to listen to when I got my first hemorrhoid and this hit...Read full review »

Am about 30 episodes in. Like many podcasts, professionalism increases with time. Presenter may be a lay person but deserves a shout out for the obvious time and energy he puts into this. Incredibly sweeping scope yet Chris keeps it focused and other lay people (like me) are able to access this...Read full review »

I like this program. It is just the right level of information for someone who knows nothing to sound intelligent. Plus the presenter’s personal asides make him seem like a friend to choose for a lonng roadtrip.

I enjoy this podcast. However I very much believe in a young earth creation. I believe that the observed data fits creation much better than evolution. However I do appreciate the, as far as I know, the accurate depiction of current evolutionary theory. As a creationist I should have at least a...Read full review »

I have followed this podcast almost since its inception in 2018, and have listened to every episode to date. I’m deeply appreciative for the fantastic work Chris has put into this podcast. It’s therefore with regret I say that I’ve come to the point where I’m considering to leave the podcast. ...Read full review »

Great podcast. Delivery is interesting and fun. After reading Will and Ariel Durant’s The Story of Civilization when young, I was looking to revisit and refresh that educational journey. Chris’s series is excellent in that regard. Thorough. Concise. Just an all round fantastic job and podcast. ...Read full review »

Hello future Chris! By now I assume you’re a rock star and get too many comments to possibly read them all out! I’m on V2E14 so if not, will be a while till I hear you read this. I listen to your podcast when commuting to work, along with a couple of others (eg History of Africa podcast). I love...Read full review »

Already through Vol 1-3. Unbelievably great. I’ve had this in my ear every moment someone wasn’t talking to me or sleeping since finding. Can’t wait to get caught up.
Ferngineer F. via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/18/23
That’s some good historical presentation. In response to another review that took issue with how Chris framed evolution; I really don’t know what this is about because I listened to the early episodes and didn’t see any deviation from the dominant theory of evolution as characterized by the...Read full review »

Chris is a profound lover of history, and that passion shows in every episode. His podcasts are throughly researched and lovingly presented, and he is an engaging, likable and unassuming host. I'm 30 episodes in and I'm not stopping till I reach the endRead full review »
disappointed1976! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/24/23
Um
I’m sorry to be negative - it’s just that I came to question the reliability of this podcast early on. First, the podcast makes several references to Charles Darwin claiming that humans came from monkeys. No, he did not say anything of the kind. Ever. It’s a very uneducated thing to say. And...Read full review »

hrtjtjyh via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/15/23
Finally there’s a history podcaster with the work ethic to match my addiction for history podcasts. This guy turns them out like a machine. The quality isn’t as polished as others I like, but some of those take HALF A YEAR OR MORE to come out with a new episode. To me that extra production value...Read full review »

Seattle Lifelong Learner via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/30/23
Have only recently started listening to this podcast, currently working my way through season 1, prehistory, a subject neglected by most other history podcasts. Chris is entertaining and easy to listen to and the podcast is well researched and very educational. Thank you Chris.

I’m curious but relatively uneducated about paleo anthropology. Chris continues to capture my attention while on the road for two hours each day. Most of all, I appreciate the effort he puts into the work so the rest of us can enjoy!

Specifically the teaching and nursing orders that contributed significantly to the idea of public schools for all and public hospitals. There was also no...Read full review »

Such an incredible pleasure to listen to. Beautifully presented and extremely well researched. For those of you that are fans of In Our Time, that are amazed at Lord Braggs granular knowledge of the material, Chris meets or exceeds that test. Thank you for this amazing resource. Dan Laguna Beach CA

Absolutely one of the most interesting and enjoyable podcasts I have found thus far. Information presented in a non dogmatic approach allowing the listener to make up his or her mind on the subject. Need more podcasts like this one.

Hands down the most comprehensive narrative of mankind. I listen to your podcast every night at bedtime. So interesting. Cheers, Vancouver accountant

I usually have a hard time listening to podcasts when just one person is speaking, and prefer to read, but Chris is just so captivating that I can’t stop listening. Keep going!

I first stumbled across this podcast via the YouTube channel The Study of Antiquity and the Middle Ages. Which, on a minor side note, is something I recommend checking out, very much.

The scope of this project is wonderfully ambitious. It’s so thorough, but never boring.

A stunningly in depth reflection on world history with the perfect balance of factual evidence and personal theories. His passion for history is evident while he doesn’t allow his personal opinions and influence to erode any accuracy in his reporting. Cheers Chris, you do a truly brilliant job.
Merediths Boyfriend via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/18/22
