“This one is a cynical cash grab using the Quickly Kevin format copy pasted to history. Too many adverts, not enough content to pay extra for.
Chris Scull doesn’t even sound like he bothered to read the script beforehand. At least TC and EJ are very likeable people.
They’ll be trying live...”Read full review »

“Really gain appreciation for the time in which you live, with medicine, hygiene, transportation, plentiful food, and a lot less sludge. Some of my favourites were battle tourism, pigeon fancying and of course Ancient Rome. Delivered in a variety of British accents including melodic Welsh.”

“Completely understand the need of ads and
Patreon. There has to be a tipping point were the ads out-way the content. Maybe this model works financially for them, it doesn’t work for me.”

“You know when Chelsea played spurs and everyone moaned about the stat that the ball was only in play for 48 mins out of 111 on the clock. That’s what this podcast is like. The parts of the pod when they’re being funny and talking history is GREAT, but sadly that comes second to ads and promoting...”Read full review »

“I love the actual podcast, it’s really funny and informative. And I’ve no issue with putting content behind a paywall to make some money. But the recent splitting of the podcast into two halves on different days is really jarring, and it feels like I spend the majority of the time listening to...”Read full review »

“The show is great and funny however splitting the episodes into 2 for free users has ruined the flow. You will always get two facts in one episode and then one in the other.
It’s led me to unsubscribe as I’m not going to pay to have it as one episode. I enjoyed it, I don’t mind there being perks...”Read full review »

“The podcast is amiable, lightly amusing and an easy listen, however not a go to. Splitting it up into multiple episodes removes any momentum and the ratio of actual content to ads is very poor. I realise that creators should be paid for their work, and that there are other associated costs, but...”Read full review »

“Love it, it brilliant BUT am thinking of cancelling my subscription as the perks aren’t worth it. The subscriber eps are only a few mins longer. And the non-subscriber eps are still advertised as new even tho we get them earlier. Gives the illusion you’re getting a whole free ep and you’re not. 😬”

“Actually really like the hosts. All really funny. If the constant pushing to be a paid subscriber taking up a big chunk of each episode was bad enough…. they decided to double down by splitting each episode into 30 minute chunks and you can only get the “full” episode in one go if you subscribe....”Read full review »

“I love Ellis and all the hosts, but the separation of parts since you can fit more ads. I get it guys, you got bills to pay, at least make it as a single part and not break it up to have ridiculous amounts of ads and have a episode split in two.”

Well must say this podcast is 99.9% history but 100% hilarious. Thanks to Ellis the world now knows that the Welsh can be clever and funny. The one day Time Machine is just so funny and well worth a listen. Laugh out loud and you might just learn something. So listening to this...”Read full review »
