“I had high hopes for this podcast given the titles of the segments but the first five episodes were enough. I will give the podcaster props for his enthusiasm but his rsearch was poor and incomplete. His remarks on the M-16 and M-4 were often faulty and I defy anyone to imagine someone...”Read full review »

“Information is generally correct and more than suitable for someone looking for general information. Although the audio and narration can sometimes be "choppy" as others have commented it is still well and done and shows improvement. Overall it's a good podcast for easy to digest information.”

“The kid tries, I'll give him that. He just really does not know what he is talking about.
I had high hopes but after listening to three random podcasts and hearing huge gaps in his knowledge, this causes a lot of misinformation. I really doubt he is doing it on purpose.
It's really sad that...”Read full review »

“Nothing but facts and figures around military history. Non-biased description of historical events and military technology. Sadly no more episodes since years.”

“I really enjoy history, and at times, I have a hard time understanding why anyone wouldn’t find history to be at least marginally interesting. This kind of podcast is why some people find it incredibly boring. I know this podcast is no longer current, but man is it dry.”

“Disclaimer: I usually don't make negative reviews & I only listened to the Peleponnesian war, so the rest might be brilliant. Excuse my spelling, English is not my 1st language.
If you like superficial parallels or want a good laugh at how the P. war is compared to the Cold War - Athens to the...”Read full review »

“About 80% to 85% of the topics are pretty interesting, in my opinion, and with so very many episodes it's easy for the listener to find something that strikes his fancy. Dont expect much in the way of presentation, though. Mr. Hageman just doesn't sound very interested. I'm sure that's not...”Read full review »

Firstly, the narrator, he speaks like a 14 year old version of myself, liking history, liking Age of empires 2, but knowing very little 'real' truth and having no...”Read full review »

“Very badly done. Poor reading skills to start. But mostly I hated it because it sounded like this guy was reading an outdated history textbook from his grandpa's high school. So many of the "facts" were believed back in the day due to propaganda, but have since been discredited. If you want a...”Read full review »

“I've listened to 5-6 of these and I can't anymore. I enjoy the topics and information provided very much, but the narration is very dry and monotone. A script is obviously read and the narrator fails to engage the listener. What is left is a history lecture that lacks personality and charisma....”Read full review »

“Full of errors, empty of substance. Most history buffs could do a better job extemporaneously on any of the topics. Before one undertakes a military history podcast; it would be a good idea to learn to pronounce “Antietam” correctly.”

“I give it two stars for good intentions, though it really is a one-star FAIL. This is uninspired stuff. Amateurish production values and some pretty serious blunders in fact-checking and scholarship. Too bad, I was really hoping to find a good podcast on military history. This ain't it.”

“Nice try, but needs a fact checker, for instance explosives do not propel neutrons at the U235 in the atomic bomb to start the chain reaction. Also the french foreign legion could not fight in the battle of Dien Bien Phu after 1961 since it took place in 1954. So hopefully now that the author is...”Read full review »
