“Sorry to agree with so many others. Howard obviously knows his history and sure Jessica is a wonderful and smart person but absolutely adds nothing to this podcast other than stopping the flow.
Unfortunately I can't continue with this although I find the topics so interesting”Read full review »

“These two are great at exploring some of the lesser known history of our founding fathers and other presidents. Who doesn’t like a good old, opossum story?”

“I just want to point out some of the previous reviews with low rating are full of unwarranted and un deserved sexist criticism.”

“If you consider yourself a history buff, or even just someone who wants some lesser known insight into the past, you’ll love this show! Howard and Jessica cover so many interesting topics and stories, you truly learn something new in every episode. One of my favorites so far has to be Mount...”Read full review »

“I made it part way through to season 2. I just couldn’t anymore. I wish this was Howard telling us interesting stories. And maybe some various co-hosts who are also informed and well versed on the topic. The constant interjections that are just filler words and incorrect statements makes this...”Read full review »

“I recommend Howard do this podcast solo. The banter is so aggravating and Jessica contribution is annoying. I tried making it through an episode from multiple seasons and couldn’t do it.”

“Started with the Aaron Burr podcast. This would be good. But the amount of times they were obsessed with saying their hip term “rizz” (for charisma) was distracting, then annoying. Trying too hard to be funny and hip wasn’t landing. Too bad because their story telling is good.”

Not only are the episodes well researched, the production quality is top notch, and the banter and dynamic between them is so fun. It's like hanging out with your fun, funny, (and...”Read full review »

“Love the subject matter, what a great idea. Though why not start with GW, did I miss that episode somewhere?
I’d binge this whole series if it wasn’t so unpleasant on the ears. He has persistent vocal fry while hers fluctuates. Their mics are so close that I can hear her mouth breathing while...”Read full review »

“Love the stories, and enjoy Howard but not Jessica’s banter nor comments. I think the show/podcast would be richer with, simply, Howard’s narrations and perspective. And he could bring on different guests to provide some of the banter and commentary, but please, not his spouse. I do not like...”Read full review »

“Listening to the first episode featuring John Adams eating chocolate for breakfast was interesting. I was disappointed that you didn’t know anymore than that.. for example you could have researched the history of chocolate in his time. How was it different than today’s chocolate? Expensive? Hard...”Read full review »

“Howard does a great job presenting, very informative. If he was the only host, it would have been five stars, however, Jessica’s constant, non-contributing, interjections are really annoying and take away from Howard’s presentation. It would be nice to have an edited version of Howard only.”

“Howard is the best. He’s well informed, prepared, and able to view and discuss stories within the historical context. The other co-host, Jessica, is none of those. A solo podcast with just Howard, or an interview style podcasts with other subject matter experts would make this podcast so much...”Read full review »

“But I have a hard time, listening to the stories with all of the constant comments, and interruptions to the story. They do not add, but take away or diminish the storytelling. I look forward to hearing all the stories if this these interruptions can somehow be diminished or stopped please.”

“The show has potential with interesting topics but I feel like I am listening in on an insufferable conversation between a married couple. Also, one of the participants really adds no value to the conversation… seriously, every time that person speaks I cringe.”
