Every two or three months I get a wonderful present from History on Fire. Sometimes he will do a deep dive, like the story of Diogenes. Other times he will do Min episodes like the 20+ hours the plains indigenous people. his a martial artist, and you have to hear what he has to say about Bruce...Read full review »

Daniele is an excellent history podcaster. He is the best history podcaster on Native American history and he’s a great story teller. Elite on every level. Can’t miss pods on the Taiping, Spanish conquest of Mexico and American conquest of the North American west. I Can’t recommend him enough.

I am very interested in the information but his accent is so thick I can only catch a few words. I even turned to the slowest recording and it is still mumble jumble in the lowest registers. I intend to give him a few more tries because I love history. His version doesn’t seem so left slanted as...Read full review »

Love his approach to the stories he presents here. Been a fan since the early days when I first heard you on JRE

My favorite episodes are related to the wars in the Black Hills, but all of the episodes are great. Deniele's presentations skills are excellent. I'm glad to see that this podcast is back.Read full review »

I just found Professor Bolelli’s podcast and it is one of the best and most enjoyable podcasts I’ve had the pleasure of listening to. Professor Bolelli’s cadence and light sense of humor is fresh and informative. Highly recommended.

The host has a very very heavy Italian accent- how can this be rated so high? Fake reviews? I can’t understand half the words this guy speaks & that’s with me focusing really hard lol

Love this podcast glad it’s back

Daniele, Thank you for creating such an great show. It’s a good one to turn to whenever I want to cleanse my pallet from current events and melt into the world of history. I also rest assured that you’ve done your due diligence in researching the subject matter and present the facts as they are....Read full review »

DB does a great job of weaving together the sources and putting the events in context with very little editorializing.
JRs BBQ via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/14/23
I love DB and his stories and the way he tells them. He is inspirational and he makes history even more exciting!
Twaynewolf via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/05/23
Danielle is fantastic. Historian scholar and storyteller extraordinaire. Don’t let his accent stop you from enjoying his knowledge. Thankfully no longer behind a pay wall. Listelean.
Mombo-Man via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/03/23
Great info, but his accent/command of the English language is just so bad that i find myself constantly having to rewind to relisten to a passage. It really is so bad that at first I thought it was a comic affectation. I wish the author would take 2 years off and just master English in a dialect...Read full review »

He doesn’t upload much these days. Lots of reruns and new content is scarce and not long enough for the time between episodes. I’ll miss the good old days.

I really like the detail in this podcast, and to hear an Italian person speak so beautifully in English is heaven. I’m learning so much too.
wolly mammals via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 05/15/23
This is one of the best history podcasts. Excellent lecturer, well researched! I am trying to place 5 stars!! I hope it goes through

When a podcast use Ennio Morricone epic music from “The good, the bad and the ugly “ as the theme music, then you know you’re in for something awesome. The details, the side stories, the big picture is told to you by this learned professor. If you are in to history, then this podcast is a must.
Missput via Apple Podcasts · Denmark · 03/02/23
Each episode is well research and presented. The topics are almost always quite interesting. Unfortunately, DB seems compelled to insert his leftist ideology- this is unnecessary and diminishes his objectivity.
Anth0711 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/25/23
I could listen to his quaint Italian accent all day if he were talking about anything, but he is always talking about something enthralling and he offers a fun take on each topic and provides some of his own wisdom along the way.
Cmreuter via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/09/23
I am so happy to see History on Fire is back! I love the variety of subject matter on this podcast and how it touches on many characters and events I was previously ignorant to. I recommend it to anyone!
Sooke Orca via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/05/23
If you don’t like DB, you have issues to address. Dec 6 Thomas Morton episode is superb.
devil zilla via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/03/23
I especially like the Roman/Germanic tribes stories. The stories of plains Indians have become a new favorite. Daniel does have a strong Italian accent but it is not hard to understand. He is an engaging story teller that brings you into the world as it was! Edit- just listened to the Emmett...Read full review »

Daniele is a master storyteller, but also a very honest historian. He’s crystal clear what we know for sure from the sources, and what we have to guess about. He’s also clearly a lovely gentleman, and listening to him is like spending time with a kind, wise, funny friend.

Bravo!!! Love your podcast. Telling a story in relatable terms certainly goes a long way. Am a lover of history… one of the best story tellers of the ancient world

This is the history podcast I’ve always come back to after trying others. Very interesting and fun to listen to and hosted by a history professor

Like the telling of db
Camden (Clam) via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/24/22
D.B himself is an amazing story teller that is thorough enough to not hold back on the dark gritty side of history. My only issue is the topic choices have really fallen off. I’ve been a listener for years in both platforms and I used to be excited for new episodes. Bring back the war, conquests...Read full review »

This is a great pod full of great stories and info. I’m really glad it’s back from behind the paywall. And no, Daniele doesn’t have an accent, you do.

thanks for the quality pod, DB !!

This is a Podcast done with class and I’m transported through time when I listen. I appreciate Daniele Bolellis voice and teaching style. Makes me want to learn more. Thank you!

Well done and informative! This is what HardCore History would be if Dan Carlin had a sense of humor! I can’t wait for each new episode.
Gman Brad via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/01/22
Love the story telling.
Mcpaisty via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/22/22
Subscribed to the podcast a while back but just finally listened to one. Started with “Give me back my legions”. My favorite time period in history. I’ve always loved history told as a story rather than reading a boring book, and Dan is an excellent story teller. Love this podcast and love the...Read full review »

A moral subjectivist who never misses a chance to wag his finger at Christian Europeans but glosses over the brutality of peoples like the Plains Indians and Aztecs.
NoleFan_89 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/27/22
Great storytelling, can hear the effort that is put into each episode. Fantastic job
r3mainCalm via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/25/22
Been following this show since the beginning. Love the detail he gets into with each topic. Hate to unfollow it but now there are anywhere between 10 and 30 minutes of ads per episode. My time is valuable and I don’t have time to scroll through five minutes, pause and see if I missed any actual...Read full review »

Like History? With Great research? A sense of humor ? Yes to all the above for History on Fire. 100% recommend if you enjoy getting a deep dive into something that I promise you can use to have conversations about the subject later.
kh29825 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/16/22
Daniele is a true master at his craft and does a fantastic job of making history come alive. Highly recommend this show to learn the lessons from history and use them to improve our present, and future.
