Gareth is very good company - I am a very fussy listener, but highly...”Read full review »

“I have discovered Gareth Russell as a guest on other podcasts I follow. Then, I realized he had a podcast and began listening. There is something so natural and salt/of-the/earth in his presentation. He has a true gift for making a monologue feel like a conversation in which you are involved. ...”Read full review »

“Gareth could present any content and it would be great just because his style is so pleasant and funny without losing credibility. But he’s so well researched that I frequently listen to the same episodes multiple times to catch details I missed the first time around. I have no notes.”

“I love this podcast! I appreciate that Gareth covers a wide variety of historical topics, and I have learned some fascinating things on subjects I typically wouldn’t gravitate too. His lilting Irish voice is wonderful to listen to, and he is a gifted conversationalist who makes every interview...”Read full review »

“To put it simply Gareth is wonderful with words. Even when he fumbles he is brilliant. Gareth talks about history with facts and feeling. He is able to take a modern approach without looking at history with strictly modern goggles. My favourite thing about Gareth’s podcast and social media is...”Read full review »

“This is my new favorite podcast - I heard about it from Charles CW Cooke. I thoroughly enjoy the variety of topics. The Titanic and Lusitania episodes were great. I would love to hear more about the Middle Ages (like the Henry I episode), as things before The Wars of The Roses are a bit fuzzy.”

“I am only on episode 3, but thoroughly enjoying this podcast. Well respected historian, with a charming Irish accent, which has had me giggling at work, with his description of a Emperor’s fancy dress outfit to the Hippodrome, and his off script moments.”
