As a homeschooling mom to elementary-age boys, I find Brion’s podcast invaluable to help me teach them true history! We fully intend to use McClanahan Academy for high school history when the time comes!

If you’re looking for history without any R or D spin, you’ve found it. McClanahan’s opinions are formed from primary sources and presented with no hype or nonsense.

This is an outstanding history related podcast. Professor McClanahan not only gives you the unvarnished truth, but he backs it up with contemporary documentation. No political correctness here; this is 100% truthful history as it happened. I would recommend to anyone interested in the truth....Read full review »

Cherokee Speedway in Gaffney, South Carolina calls itself “the place your Momma warned you about” … well, this is the podcast Momma warned you about. Stay away if you if you can’t stomach an honest appraisal of the historic record.

This is such a great podcast and I look forward to every episode. Brion puts current events in a historical context with a great sense of humor. In tumultuous times, learn more history. Brion is the best.

I woke up from being a leftist a couple of years ago and discovered this podcast. I love it - Brion is so interesting and quite funny at times. It’s such a great way to “re-learn” history and I am binge-listening to catch up.

The most refreshing and educational podcast out there. From the roots of conservatism and the intentions of the founding generation to where and when America and conservatism was led astray. Brion offers up excellent history lessons, his take on current events and solutions for America's...Read full review »

Pro
Educated and precise. Opinions are from foundation of good education. > True pro and works to know his POV and prove them. You’ll walk away with more than you thought from a historian!!

The show is one of my favorite.

Haven’t missed an episode in years.

A heterodox, but correct, portrayal of the American political system.
Codybop via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/26/22
Thank you for this very smart broadcast!
James Wesley Blues via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/06/22
From what I’ve listened to, this is some solid, accurate history. Plan on purchasing some classes. Thanks!

Keep up the good work Brion.

I love this show so much.
wargograw via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/11/22
Brion does an excellent job telling history how it is. He’s very knowledgeable and you’ll learn a lot listening to him. 10/10 recommend!
Showaibo via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/16/22
Highly recommend! He cuts through the accepted view of our history and gives us the truth! The real history. So refreshing and informative. I only wish it was a longer form podcast.
Davistribe1861 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/09/22
Mr. McClanahan uses questions to inaugurate intelligent conversations about our Southern Traditions, how they have impacted our nation’s history and how those traditions can chart a course back to the Jeffersonian Republic we were meant to be if we only can find the courage to argue for it’s...Read full review »
CSSALABAMACPO via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/06/21
Brion McClanahan goes where others are too afraid to go. His podcast reaches back to the founding of our nation and all the way to the politics of the present day. He is extremely knowledgeable and explains his points very succinctly and with wit and a little sarcasm for both Neo-Cons and...Read full review »

rare attempt at strait forward history. brian also has a tone that just makes you believe him
jk1212 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/24/21
Brion has taught this northerner much about the southern tradition, America’s founding, the Jeffersonian tradition, and federalism. He is in the tradition of Richard Weaver, Clyde Wilson, and the Southern Agrarians. I often repeat Brion’s adage of “Think Locally, Act Locally!” If you want...Read full review »

I recommend this podcast all the time.
EVKLCoop via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/09/21
Federalism best explained and promoted here.
Nael Simmerhorn via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/21/21
I came to embrace the Jeffersonian tradition as a result of Brion’s podcast and history courses. With the Tom Woods and the Abbeville Institute podcasts as additional allies, I feel I have the knowledge to finally call myself a true American Conservative Constitutionalist.
The Classical Conspiracy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/21/21
A must listen.
ChaseSteely via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/04/21
In an age of centralization of power, it is good to hear a think locally and act locally narrative. Keep up the great work!
Phillip Portchester via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/22/21
I love this show. Great information and witty commentary. I appreciate the contrarian thoughts presented here - different than the standardized, watered down presentation of historical informational were given in school. Brion is amazingly understanding of the founding, the Jeffersonian era and...Read full review »

In my top three favorite podcasts. Such an insightful and entertaining perspective on history. I always learn something interesting and useful. I like Brion’s subtle sense of humor as well. Thanks for all you do!
ddubindaclub via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/23/20
I am actually excited to see a new podcast when it comes out from Brion. And when I don’t see one show up on my list I am kind of disappointed. Very informative and great to listen to. Brion is by far the most knowledgeable person I’ve heard from when it comes to the true American history. I...Read full review »

Great Podcast. Solid teacher of history, solid on current events.
Greater Works via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/28/20
As a high school history teacher, I value Tom Woods’ podcast immeasurably! The content and guest authors are costing me more, because the books and sources aren’t cheap, but the quality of the content makes me a better, more informed teacher. Everyone wins... except my bank account! Love this show!
Teach1ization via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/30/20
I thoroughly enjoy and benefit greatly from listening to Brion McClanahan and you will too!
Makin progress big time!!!! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/20/20
If you are a critical thinker, you’re probably very alone in the world right now and looking for something to help kick start your intellectual horsepower. This show will not disappoint. I don’t always agree with Brion’s commentary, but he is consistent and can document his positions both...Read full review »

One of the absolute best American History podcasts in existence. I’ve recommended this to many people and have gotten them hooked as well. Thank you for everything you do, Brion McClanahan.
urban_wanderer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/11/20
Brion Never disappoints with his lessons on history. The shorter podcasts make his history lessons even better. Please keep the shorter podcasts.
geoffb1234 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/10/20
I’ve always liked to read books about history but after discovering this podcast, I find that now I can’t do without it and I look forward to listening every week. Brion never disappoints!

Thank you! I love learning history through documents written from the actual time period. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. This is a great podcast

I can’t listen anymore..the “music” gives me an instant headache.
Blessing Ranch via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/02/20
Good intro music. Though I would not enjoy it in church, it works for this guy.
Mnbookman via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/09/20
Hoping to learn something. Disappointed. Listened to the first podcast and then to the 176th. Same formula followed for both. Pandering to a base through the use of straw man arguments.
SchroederJim via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/25/19
I love the intro music to the show. I was hoping it is commercially available somewhere. I do need it to grow hair on my head, though, as that’s where I’m losing it now. Love the show. Keep up the good work!
SFBayBorn via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/19/19
Always enjoy a new and refreshing episode each week. A new look at many of the historical and political issues that we are faced with today.
