Interesting concept, great topics, great research, great writing, terrible narration and presentation. Very dry and monotonous.

The content of this podcast is so good but I can’t handle how it’s told. The host talks in a tone that would be appropriate for children. Maybe this is for children? All I know is that it’s not for me.

I anxiously wait every other Thursday for a new episode to drop! Each story has been so expertly researched and written. I also like the corresponding Instagram account with pictures to make the stories come alive even more. Keep up the good work!

I love the show itself but it hugely overshadowed by adverts. Its so annoying and it seems to be getting worse. It’s even more annoying that all the adverts are for the same podcasts over and over and over again. It’s not even for monetary gain it would seem but to advertise other podcasts on the...Read full review »

This is an outstanding podcast. The host is excellent, very engaging, very informative. Each of the pieces is very well researched, and takes us on an illuminating journey through a fascinating episode in American legal history. The podcasts are positively riveting, and I can hardly wait for...Read full review »

Love this podcast! This a well-researched, historically based podcast that I find riveting each week. The host is great and the information in conveyed in a digestible manner.

I really really wanted to love this podcast. It’s well researched in the subject is interesting but the delivery is so dry. It’s like listening to someone read a book to a classroom of 10-year-olds. The slow past delivery makes it hard to pay attention for a very long

I’ve been following Mira since “Jeopardy!” She just keeps getting better and better, and I enjoy her thoroughness.
Tallsoprano via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/11/24
The production value on this is top notch. Found out about the podcast on Jeopardy, Mira’s research and narration are first class. As a history major, I value these things deeply. I wish it wasn’t an Iheart podcast in a way because I’d gladly give money to Mira. There’s only a couple podcasts...Read full review »

Clarebear333 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/25/24
The content is interesting and the show is well written but the narrator is difficult to listen to due to pace.
C_Marie_M via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/20/24
The content of this podcast is great, but the narrator is very hard to listen to. Her voice is so exaggerated and slow. Just speak normally!
Sunnyside45 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/16/24
I am so grateful that I found this podcast! It’s so well done. Mira Haywood’s voice is modulated nicely ,no unnecessary drama. I’ve been a podcast listener for a long time and this by far is the best!
Duckwalk12 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/06/24
These podcasts are so well done and informative! We look forward to them so much. A case you might want to consider is the alleged murder of a young woman by the Malley brothers who were very wealthy. It took place in the New Haven, Connecticut area. I read a book, Arsenic Under the Elms, about...Read full review »

Just started listening, and so far every episode is informative and interesting. Highly recommend!
BBBSull via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/29/24
There is not a more consistent podcast that entertains while also informs the listener as this. This show presents new (to me at least) court cases that, at most times, are aptly prescient to our unique times. Everyone has been a delight and I eagerly anticipate the next.

This is one of my favorite podcasts!
Earl Murl via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/06/24
Great podcast. Well done and entertaining! Can’t wait for more to come. Only wish they were released more often 😃
Madison Dwyer* via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/01/24
I really enjoyed the stories and the writing, but wish the narrator would enunciate more and speak up. I had to concentrate on figuring out what she was saying as some words trail off in the second syllable and many sentences do too. I do realize that speaking quietly into a podcast mic prevents...Read full review »

I’m not a history nerd. I just enjoy stories that are engaging and well told. History on Trial presents the facts and chronologies of the big stories of America’s past in a lucid and entertaining manner. I’m hooked.
timaeus via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/22/24
Changed speed to 1.25 and the pace is perfect for me. Very informative material and engaging presentation.
CHope24-112 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/06/24
Wow Mira has really outdone herself! There’s clearly so much though, research, and brilliance behind the way this podcast portrays history. I listen to this podcast every week and adore Mira’s narration and presentation of such interesting cases.
ckdksjsjahhakalam via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/30/24
Anyone who isn’t listening to this podcast is missing out. If you are someone who likes to learn and be entertained at the same time, listen to this podcast! The only problem is that there aren’t more stories.
edi car via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/23/24
The writers had a great idea that unfortunately took a left turn. The narrator sprinkles in progressive trigger words such as homophobic, sexist and racist to describe what most thinking people already know was unfortunately commonplace in the era these stories take place. Dumbing down the...Read full review »

I am thoroughly enjoying this podcast. It is educational, eye opening and thought provoking. I highly recommended it.
LCrocker via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 05/07/24
American history and the founders is a favorite subject. This was so well done. Thank you.
marioooooo95 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/02/24
Excellent Podcast! I’m really enjoying learning about history on trial. I’ve also been listening to Unsung History. The two tie in very nicely together.
Kacky07 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/29/24
My new favorite podcast. Mira’s voice is great, and the history stories are really good.
Boojomilu via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/27/24
I’m new to listening to Podcasts, but with 3 hour commute, Mira’s work makes the drive easy. Her delivery is so compelling, I feel like she is telling ME the story, not broadcasting it to an audience. My only disappointment is that she only posts every other week. With the amount of research and...Read full review »

A well researched podcast that is delivered in a professional and entertaining way.
RychelleDipalo via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 04/20/24
This is my favorite new podcast! Mira delivers fascinating historical stories and I learn so much with each episode! It’s like an audiobook that I can’t stop listening to. It would be nice if they came out weekly because two weeks is too long to wait!
Cocothepodlover via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/19/24
Great stories and well researched! Love this podcast!!

I love this show. It’s well researched and told so well. Just excellent.
Iainm132 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/05/24
Eh
Another leftist leaning history podcast, twisting history and current events to make them relate. Very slow paced, almost on the verge of boring because of the narrator. It’s a last resort in my opinion, unless I’m going to sleep.
Ybdrjbsss via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/04/24
I love this view of history from the trial perspective!! It is so interesting and very well done!!
ckendres via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/23/24
Mira does an amazing job delivering fascinating historical facts and in such a riveting and captivating style. I can’t wait to listen to every episode! You go girl!! (Loved you on Jeopardy!)

Very interesting, engaging and lots of great detailef information!
tejajean via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/20/24
Such a fascinating and interesting podcast. Mira Hayward is a skilled narrator. She also writes the narration. She has a talent for taking dry trial facts and weaving them into a compelling story. Not only do the facts become a story, but the characters come to life. She has a distinctive and...Read full review »

American history through some interesting historical trials? Sign me up!!!
reviewthis? via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/09/24
I’m really loving this new podcast. Every episode has been deeply interesting, well researched and well presented. I like the fact that she chooses trials that are not only interesting in and of themselves but also shine light on bigger issues and historical moments and movements.
PaladinintheQC via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/09/24
This is obviously a very well-researched podcast but the music overwhelms it. Suggest using background music to highlight and dramatize key moments, instead of playing it throughout.
listener5947 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/09/24
I was hooked after the Reuben Crandall episode! Great podcast that shows legal precedent for several of our nation’s biggest legal cases
Tonsoffun1986 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/08/24
If you like listening to 7th grade book reports, you’ll love this podcast
DaddyJacks via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/07/24
Did the narrator just state that Johnny Depp and O.J. Are the same? I love the legal part of this podcast but come on… the personal political insinuations are annoying!
Alhday via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/07/24
Someone get the host a pop filter and vocal training. All the “pahh”s straight into the mic with breath noise and sentences ending in an inexplicable growl made it unlistenable for me. Other than that, good content. I’d love to listen after some appropriate vocal training and audio fine tuning.

If you like the History Chicks, you’ll love this thoughtful history podcast.
