Very disappointing
If this podcast was advertised as a secular resource, I would have no problem with it. However, pretending to be a religious source, while specifically painting Jewish history through a secular (and often incorrect) lens is grotesque, especially in the current culture. Furthermore, specifically excluding key facts to paint Jewish heroes as villains and vice versa is just appalling. These hosts clearly lack a fundamental grasp of Judaism as well as its basic tenants. The concept of this podcast is an incredible one and I wish that it was done properly. However, anyone involved in this podcast is not just misrepresenting history to Jews with little backgrounds, but also to non-Jews, which is truly shameful. I personally would advise anyone involved in this podcast to seek rabbinic counsel that are experienced in this field. However, if that is not possible, this should be labeled as a secular resource.

More reviews of Jewish History Nerds
Any time people mention Rabbi Jonathan Sacks of blessed memory, I pay attention. Such generosity of spirit is displayed in all of these podcasts. These are young voices so all the more reason to listen and encourage.

Such a wonderful podcast that shares such very cool Jewish history stories. As a non-Jew I LOVE listening and learning more 💜. Thank you for putting them out and all the work that goes into each episode.

This is the best Jewish history (and possibly history in general) podcast. The hosts are amazing and I highly recommend. 10/10
