Listen to this Pod!
The Cleopatra episode sucked me in, and it was wonderful. But since then, I’ve been binge listening at an alarming rate (though I have only made it to the Jurassic Park episode this far). It amazes me that such great content is available at no charge. The chemistry between all contributors involved is great, and they hit an unappreciated fine line between humor and insult (they’re talking about tragedies while being a comedy podcast after all). I particularly love the Aftermath episodes where they bring in a true expert to weigh in on the conversation, and the group has zero ego about occasionally admitting they were wrong in their original judgement. This podcast has reinvigorated my love of history by making it fun and accessible. They’ve actually inspired me to go back and read multiple history books (looking at you, Midnight in Chernobyl) and bore my spouse to tears with history facts!

Rebecca and her guests are hilarious at breaking down some of the biggest events in history. Despite the levity, I always learn new and super interesting facts! Great podcast to listen to anytime!

I figured the amount of giggling might be attributable to nerves, so skipped to the Titanic episode. Less...Read full review »
