“This is a great podcast. Well researched, well written and great effects. Jason’s not just repeating - or accepting “conventional” wisdom about change. Instead, he’s tracking down the real change story and communicating it in a way that leaves you wanting more.
Can’t wait for the next story!”

“This is one of my favorite shows of all time.
Why? I not only learn something new every time I listen, I feel differently and better about the world each time I listen.
Almost every show I start listening thinking I know how I feel about a thing, and then Jason radically changes my mind and...”Read full review »

“I love this cast! Interesting stories about historically hilarious pessimism! There is truly nothing new under the sun! Enjoy!
Addendum: I would love to hear business wars from further back in time. Standard oil anyone? East India company?”

The host is a great interviewer, and strikes the right balance of no nonsense discussion without oversimplifying the topics discussed. I find myself as encouraged by...”Read full review »

“Jason Feiffer dives into issues in a fascinatingly complex way. Take a look at the episode titles for a sense of the great questions he is asking. He consults with experts in fields for research and at the end of an episode you are always left with interesting questions.”

“I absolutely love this podcast! Jason Feifer has a wonderful way of bringing the past to life through storytelling and guest experts/historians/voiceover talent. It’s nice to hear details about subjects that I may have learned about briefly in the past, and the production quality is also top notch.”

“I love the unexpected facts threaded together in this tale. So many commentators start with a point of view and like to comment on history without actually reading it, unlike our friend Jason. Told with which and humour I just think it’s wonderful.”

“Love this podcast and recommend it every chance I get! Heard about it a from a panelist at a confrence I attended last year on automotive tech and immediately subscribed. Also love the name change as previously people were skeptical when I raved about it. I think the new name will help!”

“Listened to the episode on whether advances in technology makes us “dumber”. Very well done! Loved how you sprinkled in interviews, the history of shorthand (who knew), and your reference to losing our contemplative side. Amazing stuff.”
