meh
his biases and own sense of knowledge (he who knows knows he knows nothing etc not the case here) really show out if you have even a cursory knowledge on topic in question

Good topics, great guests, and Scott asks really thoughtful and intelligent questions
PinkyL'Amour via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/30/24
OKish podcast, I never don’t learn something. It’s a bit heavy on military history, which imo is the most pointless and yet most emphasized subfield. I would say that it’s impressive that Scott has wrangled so many historians in order to defer to the proper experts who’ve done the research on...Read full review »

Discusses well known and lesser known stories from history with author and historians.

As a self proclaimed history nerd, I appreciate the educational aspect of this podcast. The wide range of topics keeps me entertained as well. Recently, I listened to the Hiroshima first hand account episode and the awful and horrific accounts from survivors. I would have liked to hear that it...Read full review »

Thanks for a very deeply researched, entertaining and knowledge packed show. Keep up the good work

The episode on the Christian Bible is simplistic and misrepresented. Codex and printing were dependent upon literacy originating with the Jews. See Botticini, et al. “The Chosen Few” for a more accurate history. Jewish communities had 90 o/o literacy whereas early Christian had 10o/o. The book in...Read full review »

I've learned about so many moments in history that I was never taught in school or college. I look forward to every new episode and enjoy going back 4-5 years to episodes I had not yet listened to. For example. The recent story on General Geoffrey Keys, was such a moment of learning. I enjoy...Read full review »

I do like the podcast a lot. From time to time it goes a little left for me in revisionist history, CSA for example. Well, nice educated Englishman seems to make some good well-rounded points but seriously an ancient 15 hr. work week is ridiculous. Has he ever been camping / survival trek like...Read full review »

What is going on with this podcast? This is the second podcast in short order that is steered off the rails. This is not history. This is pure speculation come on guys get back to what you knew. Best give us history.
Scot2944 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/06/24
One of my favorite podcasts . Scott possesses a broad knowledge base of subjects with refreshing, varied views on the interesting topics covered in the show.
Rickygclef via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/02/24
I love this podcast! Each episode provides research-based information about historical events, giving not only facts but context in which the events took place. I particularly appreciate the author interviews. I’ve listened to every episode, and I’m always happy to see a new episode pop up in the...Read full review »
Kaeto123 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/29/24
An excellent history podcast of the type where each episode is a different topic, interviewing an expert who usually has authored a book on the subject discussed. This is one of the best shows in that format, both for the excellent eye-opening topics chosen & the quality of the interview....Read full review »

Lost me right off the bat. You just fumble and bumble your words the whole time. Feel free to do another take. Worst history podcast I’ve listened to.
Bear0988 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 05/23/24
Wow. Let’s interview a guy who wrote a book called “The Case for Trump” about statue removal. Absolutely done with this podcast.
barrybzz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/19/24
I got hooked on this a few weeks ago with the series that they did on the Revolutionary War. It’s an excellent podcast that gives nuanced perspectives that are needed when reporting and analyzing history.
Rudy7200 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/11/24
Worst background music on the entire internet. Plus the background music is playing behind the host’s introduction, obscuring everything he is saying. Sounds like a Yankees game instead of a podcast
elvanp via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/10/24
So obviously a right-wing crank. Its cute.
fuzzbuzz215 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/09/24
I agree with others You talk to fast but I love your topics. Don

I enjoy listening but agree with other reviews that you speak too fast!

The February 27 episode was an example of the new DEI enhanced history

The abrasive “Hey hon!” Commercials set my teeth on edge.

Always very interesting!
Simply A Sister via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/01/24
I loved listening to this podcast to get a more fully rounded view of history. I was shocked however when I got to the authors absurdly racist take down of the 1619 project. History is messy and painful truths are often hard to stomach, but we have to. Just because something makes someone...Read full review »

I like your show very much. It would be great if you could slow down you’re speech , particularly when reading, so we can take in everything you’re saying. I tried listening at three-quarter time, but you sound drunk in that mode. 🤣
Another Texas fan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/08/24
Enjoy listening to the different take on history. Disappointed with the 1619 Project episode when the guest offered contentious political views on Black Lives Matter. Also the modern day anti-immigration debate editorial on the Ancient Rome podcast was a bit undergraduate.
JT Alphingtom via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 12/27/23
For lack of better words I love this podcast. It is so in depth while also focusing on the important things. Scott is so good not only in this but all of his podcasts. It’s amazing how many experts come on and show what they know. LOVE IT.
MC 2 fast 4 u via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/12/23
H.W. Crocker, Scott’s “expert” on Lee, swoons over the Confederate general with very little regard for the facts. Lee “managed” nearly 200 slaves, owned a few, and arranged for the severe beating of more than one who sought freedom. Slavery was wrong, plain and simple, and no “great man” emerges...Read full review »
Old Boy Himself via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/25/23
I listened to the Oct. 10 episode on Robert E. Lee. I did learn something about this historic figure. But the guest was patently biased and uninformed and almost gleeful in exposing his unchallenged personal opinions. Lee may have been against slavery and torn between his allegiance to his roots...Read full review »
DiMV19 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/19/23
Overall a good history podcast however I do not understand why Scott didn’t ask even a few tough questions during the Robert E Lee fanboy episode. I actually do appreciate Lee’s many positive attributes but criminy he was the military leader of a war against the USA which makes him a traitor. I...Read full review »

This is one of the better history pods. The host is engaging and well-versed on each topic. I try to listen to each episode - including the few where I find myself in personal disagreement with. Today was one of the episodes I took great issue with - the interview about the legacy of Robert E...Read full review »
The West Family via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/11/23
Robert E Lee fanboy episode was shocking. Painted Lee as “abhorring slavery” when he held slaves and fought in Cort to keep slaves from his father in laws estate. Absolutely no pushback from hoast. Shameful.
ADS12341999 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/10/23
H.C. Crocker offers nothing but a intellectualized justification of white supremacy. If Lee was so principled he would have rejected the evil of slavery & commanded the Union Army. Being courtly does not equate to righteousness. Please.
iCentaur.com via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/10/23
This podcast seems to trot out a new boomer week after week to espouse racist propaganda and quite frankly it’s getting old. Stop giving these people a platform.
@SurryElle via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/10/23
I give you 5 stars because of your content but your ad with all the rhyming makes me want to unsubscribe. Seriously it’s quite irritating.

Always enjoy these podcasts - lots of great overviews and good conversations with guests.
MrB10nde via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/11/23
Enjoying the variety of subjects. Just enough information for me to consider reading more about them!
JJ reads via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/14/23
Scott is excellent at telling the stories from History from both side and remembering the time the events took place in and not judging by today’s standards and look forward to each new show . Keep up the great podcasts. John Yonkers New York
