“A good history podcast that covers a wide range of subjects linked only by the 1810s.
An enjoyable listen which is well worth subscribing.”

“I find the format of focusing on the years between 1809 to 1820 extremely interesting. You get a sense of the individuals that lived through this time and how they felt experiencing these events. I hope to hear about the New Madrid earthquake one day.”

“Women do not “squeeze out puppies”. Since the majority of the women you mention died during childbirth, don’t you think it would behove you to speak of our childbearing with more reverence, seriousness, respect. It is far past time for women’s lives and suffering to be recognized with the same...”Read full review »

“Most people go to school, and in history class - just get through. You Hear It.... but you really never “learn” it. It doesn’t stick. Years later as an adult, all these big names from history, you know like Napoleon, Alexandar the Great, King George the nth. And of course there were all these...”Read full review »

“I listened to the pilot with every intention of subscribing to a factual, objective history podcast.

I’m not signing up for any more and definitely wont...”Read full review »

“90% of the series is great, but then he includes comments like “pasty white faces” and “26 rich white guys in a room.”

“Sean Munger, a historian, teacher and author brings to life a very specific period of history, the eponymous Second Decade of the 1800s. This may seem so narrow a period as to be limited or even eccentric.
However, when you look at the events of the period across the world, it has to have been...”Read full review »
