“Very informative and exciting. It’s refreshing to here stories that don’t all lead to why one political party is so much worse than the other.”

“This is one of the greatest podcasts on iTunes. Chris Wimmer is an outstanding narrator and storyteller. The pacing is engaging and easy to follow and does a great job linking persons and events from other seasons. I’ve particularly enjoyed listening to it on road trips through the American West,...”Read full review »

“Brilliant podcast. Indeed advertising absolutely rammed down your throat. In fact I got so fed up with it, I’ve made my company stop using it. Stopped using indeed and saved £30k a year in promoted jobs. Love the podcast though.”

“I love the podcast and have a recommendation for the series about Dodge City: check out the 1950’s radio series called Gunsmoke. Gunsmoke was based in Dodge City. The radio series is not the same as the popular TV show, in fact, the radio series is better in my opinion. Different actors, more...”Read full review »

“I've been listening to Legends since the first episode. Of the 20+ other podcasts I follow, Legends, and its sister show are, by far, the best!
Being from Texas, I have heard, or read, about many of the stories. But, I am always amazed by the facts and details in the episodes. Some I had...”Read full review »

“After reading Pat Garrett's book, watching several movies and documentaries, I found this series to be just as if not more informative.

“While occasionally fascinating, this series focuses far too much on the ‘white’ history of the West, and it’s so called heroes. This series is at its best when telling the stories of the true Americans and the land they had stolen from beneath them. Series 4 is a particular highlight and deserves...”Read full review »

“You can’t beat “Legends of the Old West” for careful research, solid writing and excellent narration. I’ve listened to every season and I’m on my second listen. It’s never gimmicky and never dry - just great, well-presented history. There are no other western podcasts that even begin to compare...”Read full review »

“Wimmer’s depiction of historical characters brings them to life. His podcast not only tells you the “what,” but also the “why.”
He’s on par with the passion of Daniele Bolelli, but focuses on the history of the old west. It’s a must listen podcast.”
