“I grew up in Iowa in 1970’s and 80’s. I was taught (correctly?) that Merle (pronounced Murle Hay) that Merle was the FIRST American KIA of WWI.
Was my education slanted? I would like to know…”

“I had been listening to the same podcasts for a while, and because I’ve been really getting into history more and more, I decided to look for a history podcast. This podcast has scratched an itch I didn’t know I had. History is reviewed in the juicy, interesting and exciting story format it was...”Read full review »

“Found this about a year ago and I couldn’t be any happier. Professor Jackson and his staff are simple great. The research is top notch and they make history come alive. I wept a couple of times listening to their podcast. So informative with US history. Thank you so much for all you do!!!”

“This podcast is a very interesting summary of American history. What really has made me stop listening are the sound effects, the terrible accents, and not translating the French.
The sound effects are so much louder than the narrator. Occasionally they overlap so you can’t hear what he’s...”Read full review »

“Not bad for a millennial educated in public schools but i still hate millennial speak. Its lazy and could not hold a candle to a 7th grade education using the New England Primer pre 1860. Thank you progressive democrats for producing a stupid electorate.”

“This show is OFF THE HOOK! 😂…One of our more astute friends in Taco (War And Peace - A Civil War themed game) turned us on to this gem and we all fell in love with it. I’m telling you, if you remotely like History you will be sucked in immediately.

“But sometimes horrible editing. There have been numerous episodes where audio skips like an early 2000s Discman with anti

“I started on episode 40 and I kept listening because Greg is such a good storyteller. I love the use of sound effects when he is describing the intense Civil War battles. He makes History fun for history nerds like me. I like it so much I joined HistoryThatDoesn’tSuck’s Patreon.”

“Greg Jackson does a great job telling history as a story and not a lecture. He provides a comprehensive background, setting the stage for a clear understanding of history as it should be told.
Great work not only by Jackson but by his researchers and writers.”

“It’s hard to overstate the importance of this program. The effort used to honestly include the tragic and uncomfortable conduct, without grandstanding, of those in power at the time is both an appropriate and a needed supplement to my earlier days in school.
Good work, Professor!”
