“•Episode: “Who won the War Of 1812 (Part 1)” in which the first 22 minutes may be scrubbed through to reach the start of the interesting bits. Listener, you have been warned.
•Episode: “Who won the War Of 1812 (Part 2)” in which the host confuses “disinterest” with “lack of interest”....”Read full review »

“You won’t go wrong here. Sebastian blends myth and Legitimate History into complex story telling and yet maintains academic honesty and fullness of character. Check it out!”

“Sebastian is smart, funny, and always transparent. I love that he opens up about his own potential biases and always corrects himself if he inadvertently propagates a historical myth (something that is shockingly easy to do). Great for any fan of history who is both open-minded and a critical...”Read full review »

“The narrator has the incredible ability to take interesting information and turn it into the most incredibly dull sequence of run-on sentences. I have tried numerous times to listen but it’s no use; his delivery is, for a lack of better word, awful.”

“If you love history, and want to get a good understanding of the intersection of myth and history, this is for you.
It will also help you be even more of the pedantic “Well, actually…” person at the party. You know who you are.”

“This podcast is great and I’ve been a long time listener. Very interesting and in-depth info. The only thing I could say would be an improvement is that sometimes the start is very slow. Thanks for creating this content!”

“Maybe it’s my fault. About a month ago I started this podcast on episode one. I came from “Fall of Civilizations” and “Kings and Generals” looking for something to fill that void. At first, I was enthralled. The shows were, at the time, annoyingly short barely scraping an hour but since I was...”Read full review »

“Truly interesting. The narration is such that I’ve willingly sat through episodes about subjects I’d never think I’d be interesting in.
And the concept of myths being created even when facts are there is a great conceit through the episodes. I highly recommend his episodes about The Titanic to...”Read full review »

I have definately learned some things I didn’t know, but more interestingly, I’ve UNLEARNED some things I...”Read full review »

“I enjoy a longer podcast, and I appreciate that this one goes into DEPTH in any given topic, including necessary historical context. It must be a ton of research. Even stories I thought I knew, I learn so much more.
I could see some of the backstory redundant for huge history people, but I...”Read full review »

“I’ve never really got into podcasts, audio books have been my thing for the longest. Always enjoyed learning and history.. put those 2 together with some wit, down to earth humor, as well as a phenomenal presenter.. well.. just “WoW”.
Recommend is an understatement.. I’m hooked.”

“I wrote a review before when I was trying out new podcasts and came across this one. All the music seemed a little over done and was pretty annoying. I get the point of it not just being a lecture but really did not enjoy the multiple “music breaks” I guess you’d call them throughout the show....”Read full review »

“This is one of my favorite shows. Sometimes it takes me a day or two to get through the whole episode. But I always come back to where I left off. I appreciate that telling a more complete history takes prescient over fitting into a time slot.”

“I was listening to this podcast when it was in the single 10s of episodes. But lately there is a constant social agenda and a constant “white apologetic “ tone to it. History is about history not about pushing social “justice” or agenda. Hope you reflect on this Sebastian.”

“The podcast is at its best when dealing with pseudo history like the Templars and 1421 (both excellent), but it is wobbly on historical controversies like the Renaissance: oh dear it’s not clear when the Renaissance started and ended….historians can’t/don’t want to agree on when the (insert:...”Read full review »

“I love love love this show. It’s my favorite history podcast and one of my top podcasts overall. But the really long intros are difficult for me. I have severe ADHD, and I usually have to skip through the intros. For example, the Titanic episode starts with like 20 minutes of just talking about...”Read full review »

“I’ve read just about everything on the Huns (personal hobby), and listened to every podcast I could find. So I didn’t expect to learn anything new. But I did! Like the stories about the saints or the Etzel story. So riveting! Will now listen to all the other episodes!”

“I wish I could listen to an episode without 5 different music breaks that are all WAY too long. I actually really liked this podcast at first but after a few episodes it just seemed like the podcast was an an excuse for the host to force us to listen to his band. It’s not even *bad* music but...”Read full review »
