“A welcome relief from the boring shows that just sound like they’re reading out a book. The Professor sometimes does shows on his own, sometimes interviews guests and experts. Nice diversity.”

“The Episode on MTH AMERICA with Dr Karen Cox about the history of Confederate monuments. Having grown up in the South in the 1950s and 60s and seen the gradual improvement in as well as the resistance to recognition of the rights of non-white citizens, I found the discussion important.”

“Thoughtful and entertaining. Always takes real scholarship on history and makes it engaging and accessible. Now that the history channel has morphed into the bad sci-fi channel, this is my go to for a good history fix.”

“I have enjoyed this podcast for years. Joe is a very talented historian and writer. The show always features interesting topics and great guests such as Dr. Phil Nash. The guests are all very informative, but it’s Joe who makes the show.”

“• Episode: “Ante Pavelic.” The blurb should read “rein in” not “reign in”. Or how about “rein in the reign ...”?
• Episode: “Fake News In American History”, in which the Professor invents a word, “nother”, as in “... a whole nother ball game”.
• Episode: “The Pizza Effect ..., in which the...”Read full review »

“I highly recommend their three part series about the Nazis as probably their best work of sawing through the myths we were all taught in history classes.
I wish I could take one of Professor Nash’s classes. Even online would be great.”
