“I’ve listened to every history podcast out there over the past decade. Our Fake History has always been my favourite. Sebastian Major does a great job at separating fact from fiction while telling an engaging story. The show is nuanced, well sourced, and entertaining. It’s not only taught me so...”Read full review »

“Perhaps an unpopular opinion but I just reeeeeally dislike the theme song, invariably have to skip it. The interlude guitar music is great though.
The content of the podcast is really excellent stuff and I’m thankful that it exists.”

“I listen in my car all the time. My sister asked me why I didn’t listen to a regular radio station and I said why would I listen to that when I have this! I started at the first episode and am now waiting for the newest 2024 episode!”

“Dude, Sebastian- this is wild that you mention AC for this series. When you did the series on the Olympics I went back and played AC Odyssey, which is set in Ancient Greece. While I agree the history that gets weaved into that story is not super accurate, I wanted to share two things that go...”Read full review »

Sebastian’s narration and voice speak to you the way a podcaster/broadcaster should, clearly and with respect to his listeners that a...”Read full review »

I love history podcasts and this show is (in my humble opinion) among the top 3 history podcasts out there. Masterfully...”Read full review »

“I’m 25 minutes into an episode, the topic from the title hasn’t been brought up once yet. He doesn’t say close to his mic and the sound goes in and out, I’ve checked my phone for an email like 10 times but it’s just an amateur podcaster not caring about listener experience. He repeats his...”Read full review »

“Kingdom of heaven. I can overlook anything if a movie is entertaining. However, this is very boring. I got through the incomprehensible, over the top violence filmed like like the camera was being beaten by a loan shark. And the highschool play acting didn’t do it. But when they got to the...”Read full review »

“The writing and story-telling is excellent. I like Sebastian’s style of giving good context, taking his time to weave the background, (without meandering), before actually diving into the story at hand. This is so important and missing from some podcasts that take a more short-hand approach. The...”Read full review »
