“Found this searching for podcasts on Alcatraz after a recent NorCal road trip. Kids were very interested listening while driving and I picked it back up for other seasons. Very well researched and much better than these comedic faux history podcasts. This feels more like an audiobook than a...”Read full review »

“Podcast hosts pay attention!
This is how you should record a podcast.
No silliness
No awful attempts at humor
No, “ How you doing?”
No body cares.
This host starts the podcast and that’s it.
Well done!”

“The Pierre Hotel Heist is too drawn out and the artificial tension along with some of the teasers are irritating. Using the same teaser at the end of one episode and then again at the beginning of the next one is too much, please don’t keep doing that: it’s a major pod faux pas. On the other...”Read full review »

“Love this history lesson. The narrator’s voice is perfect for bringing the episode to life. I’m a senior and thought I already knew some of these topics. This podcast puts together the whole story in a way that draws the listener into the past with a new perspective of what probably took place.”

“I try to like it and they do some fun seasons, but it’s become really repetitive lately. A 30 minute story they try to stretch out over 6 episodes by repeating the same stuff over and over.”

“Well over here in Blighty I love listening to the podcast while walking my dog. From the famous to not so famous stories, I feel compelled to listen clearly researched and told by a voice that just draws you in for more. Keep up the great work. Dean and Axl (my walking companion 😂)”

“Very impressive podcast. The storytelling is captivating and the chronicling of the seasons and episodes is very thoughtful - very organized and not what you typically see with podcasts. Great work.”

“Good podcast for history buffs and I would have given 5 stars if it was not for ads. No matter how long or short episodes are, if old episodes still have ads it will hurt the rating that I give it. Ads are just a worthless waste of time and I do not listen to them nor purchase whatever is being...”Read full review »

“This podcast is awesome! But the so called bonus episodes featuring other wondery podcasts is flat annoying. Nothing but 2-3 episodes of each podcast is available through Apple. Instead there is a message podcast that says, if you want to finish the season use Amazon paid subscription or use the...”Read full review »

“As an academically-trained historian, I enjoy podcasts that balance entertaining topics with sound research that focuses on the fascinating stories of the past without tainting it with a poor narrator, subpar historical analysis, and a nauseating reliance on politically correct narratives.
