“The cast and guests are great! BUT please learn the proper pronunciation of names! It makes listening easier. The Troy episode I had to cut short because of it.”

“Great idea for a podcast, but it soon becomes clear that they will find a way to blame conservatives, capitalism, or the catch-all phrase now used to represent all evil doing “the patriarchy” are the cause of EVERYTHING bad that has happened in history. Listening to the episode that discussed...”Read full review »

“Funnest echo chamber I’ve ever listened in on. But seriously, they’re comedians, they don’t claim to be experts. However the host is very knowledgeable about history. I’m only about 10 episodes in so maybe it changes but they don’t bring in anybody that knows anything about the specific event or...”Read full review »

I love the takes and deep dives into sources for each case it’s amazing the amount of effort and research goes in and the...”Read full review »

“They struggled with who to blame for the attack on pearl harbor. America? Hitler? Xenophobia?? Must be one of those”

“Stumbled upon this podcast back in 2020 when I was looking for anything to distract myself from reality and I found it at the perfect time.
The show takes a modern look back at historical tragedies and decides (lightheartedly) who should take the blame. The show features the Alarmist herself,...”Read full review »

“I wonder how many people have unfollowed this podcast after things like the episode, where they sat around, clutching their pearls about BDSM. It’s a pity, because it used to be good, and they should’ve stayed to history.”

“Interesting stories but take them with a grain of salt. The hosts are always determined to blame capitalism, sexism, racism, etc. Many of these events are much more complex than can be explained in half an hour.”
