So happy I found this podcast. Most of my day is spent either in the car or with headphones on, so I devour podcast episodes like I’m Cookie Monster at the Nabisco factory. I love history podcasts and this show is (in my humble opinion) among the top 3 history podcasts out there. Masterfully...Read full review »

Colosseum video were the guys in charge of selling the video to the distributor which sold to the video store. As an example le of their kindness, Hillbilly Jim was hired as a rep after he was so hurt from the body breaking fake wrestling. Sincce we were selling tons of best selling product to...Read full review »

There is a lot of haters and I just want to say that he is a great guy with a great podcast so what if it’s his opinions. He’s just telling his take on stories some of you guys need to chill out and Sebastian your doing great

The Caligula series is some of the best history podcasting I’ve ever heard!
nxavis via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/28/24
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 »

Well researched, great topics and thoroughly entertaining
TVS in FNT via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/06/24
This podcast is the best ever! It’s the only one I listen to. Sebastian has a great point of view and makes the entire thing so fun! He makes history fun to listen (not that history is not an interesting thing). It doesn’t make sense how people make one star reviews. CRAZY!!!! Please, please,...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 »

I’ve been listening for years and I look forward to each new show. Even if I don’t think I’m interested in a topic, I always end up being some what riveted
SkyGal311 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/17/24
Sebastian is a balanced, critical and fair minded guide through the haze of world history. He makes an effort to choose topics outside of the typical euro-centric podcast fodder. I have listened to almost all of his work and he has helped me to drastically broaden my understanding of history and...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 »

If I roll my eyes any harder they’ll stick. He used to be good, though the quality has been dropping off lately. I absolutely cannot take anyone who uses “Latinx” seriously though. It’s like learning he’s a flat earther.
Jimbo5301 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/27/23
Feels like the episodes are weighed down by sooooo much unnecessary discussion of tangentially related background info.
Cwoowc via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/29/23
The first couple years were fun…actually interesting. Now it seems the host is just it if material and desperate. #meh
Arndisney via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/20/23
This is a great podcast! I listen in the mornings with my son, as we’re focusing on the medieval time period for homeschooling this year. There’s so many fun interesting stories on here and Sebastian actually digs deeper into them and finds the truth behind it, which is so fun! Thank you and...Read full review »

This show is fantastic. Sebastian does an amazing job picking and researching topics.
Betomlin via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/16/23
I am a big fan of this podcast. Sebastian brings the stories to life and looks at history in as objectively as possible. He is relatable but very knowledgeable. I feel like he does his research very diligently and brings light to familiar topics and also things that are obscure yet fascinating....Read full review »
Male Lindsay via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/11/23
Overall quality for each topic is extremely high. You can tell a lot of time and care was put into researching the topic. I have liked every episode I listened to, learning about details of history I’ve never heard before.

Absolutely love this podcast! I double majored in European history in college because I thought I loved European history (turns out I actually do after I got past the fact that Hollywood had totally ruined me and I would first have to recover from the broken heart that everything I thought I knew...Read full review »

I really love folklore and history and this podcast is a great mix of both. Sebastian is great at pesenting the historical facts around your favorite legends in an engaging way. I highly recommend!
Vixtrolla_ via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 09/06/23
As a hs history teacher this gives me tons of little fun facts to make things more interesting. Thanks Sebastian . Hope this gets to 500 episodes lol
Shane1344 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/27/23
Hey Sebastian You left out a fourth reason for Antinous’s death. Antinous may not have been a Homosexual, but was forced into it by Hadrian. Maybe Antinous wanted to marry a woman and become a father.

Very well planned, researched and executed pod. Great variety of subjects. Would love a collab with Dan Carlin.

You feel the passion and the extensive research it takes to make this engaging podcast.
Constanza from NY via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/28/23
Just discovered this podcast and I absolutely love it! It is entertaining but also well researched and doesn’t fall into crackpot theories like so many podcasts. Well done!
Caroshshdbb via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/23/23
This is one of my must-listen podcasts. It’s always well considered, informative and fun.
SpaRowes via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 07/23/23
I listen to this podcast when I need a break from other continuous history podcasts. Each episode or string of episodes are always entertaining and, for me, the best of it all is the sincerity and the honest approach of controversial, unverified and polemic stuff: Sebastian knows how to keep it...Read full review »

Sebastian I was doing some research into my family history and found that in the mid 1800’s on both sides of my parents family My Great Great Great grandfathers are both named Christopher Columbus obviously at that time the myth of Columbus was at full steam.

I always looked forward to this podcast but over the last few months it seems to have lists it’s way.

Great podcast that I enjoy listening to ☮️
SamAzal via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/15/23
I love this podcast so much. He doesn’t just tell the story, he goes into the smallest details to determine if it’s true or not. I recommend this show to everyone that will listen
Lallie88 via Apple Podcasts · South Africa · 07/14/23
Only people who don’t like this show will be conspiracy theorists and haters. It’s good.
Nmbro14 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/14/23
Sebastian supplies a top quality podcast that entertains, informs and helps this particular history teacher on summer vacation with a toddler, a vitally important mental escape. Our Fake History brings together compelling historical narratives, cultural misconceptions and transparent...Read full review »

An absolute gem. A unique show without comparison, expert storytelling, detailed research presented with skilled showmanship and seasoned with his own guitar noodling. Thank you so much, I am always thrilled to see a new episode pop-up in my feed.

Best history podcast
rudy2872 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/12/23
I love this show. Sebastian always brings a wealth of knowledge and research to every subject he podcasts about. Occasionally there are subjects that I have no interest in at all, but they are usually the most interesting ones because I learn so much. Then he also covers topics I thought I knew...Read full review »

Usually when I search for new podcasts the hosts have irritating voices or don’t have good information, but this host has a voice that makes you want to keep listening. I love the topics that are covered great for road trips or if I don’t feel like listening to music. Even if you don’t know much...Read full review »
