What American youth need to listen to today

This podcast delivers. I’m not surprised, given that I devour everything Jon Meacham does, but I had to write a quick note praising the quality of this podcast. (I’m happy to see the History Channel getting back to its roots. They had me worried for a while there!) Give us more!

I absolutely envy Jon Meacham. He is very knowledgeable and I always love listening to what he has to say. I have listened to every single episode and have been absolutely INTRIGUED in every one of them. John meacham is incredibly smart and so interesting in his explanation of history!

I usually have trouble staying focused on anything audible—books and such—but Jon Meachum’s Hope through History has captured my attention. I look forward to listening every day. It’s usually my morning listen, and I’ve begun listening while running/walking. Looking forward to the next series: It...Read full review »

Like a great book you can’t put down, I wish I could sit and listen to this podcast all day! Meachums delivery is fantastic, and the accompanying music is spot on as well!

Loved this podcast, insightful-great story telling and Meacham’s delivery is bang on. (I also thought the background music encapsulated the title/the theme incredibly well).

An excellent podcast, always very interesting.

Always learn something new from Jon Meacham’s storytelling
Goldmean5825 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/18/22
This show is really captivating but they need a new narrater because he’s so monotone and his deep voice makes you want to pass out.
Blank salable via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/13/22
I loved this podcast. John Meacham’s brilliance in spoken word is as powerful as it is on written page. HTH is a captivating, informative immersive dive into some of America’s greatest challenges — thru a lens of perspective that inspires hope in the most crazy times. It’s full of powerful...Read full review »

I love his voice!!! And I love history! This podcast is perfect. Hearing the episode of Bloody Sunday was chilling. I knew of this story but not this in depth. This country was just terrible for black people then. How did any of them live with themselves hating people for the color of their skin?...Read full review »

The second I saw this was related to the failing ny times I knew it was a bust.
jcamp6890 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/25/21
There’s no one I would rather listen to than Jon Meacham. And probably no one else could do as much justice to this theme as him.

Dr Fauci? Please give me a break. He is at least partly responsible for millions of deaths around the world for funding gain of function research from US tax dollars.
Pocono mama via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/09/21
Meachem is no historian. He is a partisan hack who has lost all legitimacy when his secret partisan far left extremist work was revealed.
Gregorydarian via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/05/21
This podcast fills in the blanks from bits of history that I am familiar with but never really studied in much detail. The more contemporary topics gives texture to events I lived through, but was busy raising a family and nourishing a career to get the details and rich background! I love to...Read full review »

I'm eager to learn about American history. It makes me feel true hope how Joe Mecham presents the positive aspects of American History. It let me see the good under all the current events.Read full review »

I’ve listened to several episodes and it is clear the narrator feels the need to insert partisanship commentary which clearly aligns with Democrat talking points. Shame.
SoupNazi312 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/07/21
With every episode, it’s like us listeners have a clear understanding of everything that is highlighted and explained. Each episode is crafted so well that by the end, you want to listen to the next, or know what happened next in the years after the event that was featured. Season 1 got me...Read full review »

I could listen to Jon Meacham read the telephone book for hours, but hearing him explain and analyse American history in such detail is a true pleasure. The episode “Death At Sea,” about the sinking of the Lusitania, especially the very beginning, is one of the most beautifully written and read...Read full review »

I love your podcasts. I hope you continue making them. They are rich in history and information. And they are full of love. Kat Overman.
Kat Overman via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/29/21
Average content with a decidedly leftward slant. Too bad.
Pesto Doug via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/29/21
Just heard the Bloody Sunday episode and it was beautiful. The excerpt of LBJ’s speech combined with the speech of John Lewis at Selma before he died were so touching. It reminds me of the best about our country. The line that billy clubs, horses and tear gas were no match for love and...Read full review »

I do not appreciate your political commentary. It is a shame, It ruined it for me.
latichester via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/28/21
Too bad you can’t just present history. You ruin it with political garbage!!
Alhday via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/27/21
This podcast beats odd furiously to DNC talking points
dylanator247 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/25/21
Jon, I always looked forward to your appearances on TV programs because you provide a degree of knowledge, balance, and insight in addition to the memorable anecdotes. Thank you. Cristina

I’ve enjoyed every episode. Keep them coming!
yoheidiho via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/22/21
I really enjoy this podcast, as a former history teacher I enjoy hearing about history our history books devote little words. However, I do not appreciate the political commentary. You tell the history, I will fit it into my political view.

Fantastic
Maggot3000 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/18/21
Informative, but presented in an interesting manner. A must listen!
Sleeplessinsandiego via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/10/21
There are precious few opportunities to listen to a fact-based, authoritative summary of history-especially at such an important moment in our own history. Thank you, Professor M! And know that we who seek truth and are living in a reality based on demonstrable facts are deeply grateful for...Read full review »

Thank you so much for continuing this great series. Professor Meacham makes history incredibly relevant. A welcome companion to the daily news.

A great historian with an understanding of how the big moments of the past entwine with those of the present

Helps put present day events in historical perspective.

So very interesting. Great educator.
Anna Du Pen via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/20/21
Reagan was a great president. No president will ever win 49 states again. Way too negative pretending to create nuance where there was none. And there is no need to make useless and irrelevant comparisons to Trump. Trump, Kennedy and Reagan all hated establishment government. More in common than...Read full review »

1 star for dumping on Trump
jschien1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/12/21
Generally I like most of these podcasts for their content - but, specifically did not like this one for the personal - political slant of the commentator as to comparisons (in the negative context) to President Trump’s speeches- I.e., relative to border crisis… Because the truth is we do have a...Read full review »
