“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. 🤣”

“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.”

“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.”

“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 »

“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 »

“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 »

“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.”

“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.”

“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.

“Branded as an apolitical podcast. While obviously being apolitical is impossible, he tends to invite extremely controversial and conservative people on without prefacing that it is a conservative lens they are presenting.”
