“I’ve never had such a detailed exploration into English history! I’m enjoying learning the big picture and not simply the “ great man” approach. Having experienced this, I can’t go back to dumbed down history ever again! Thank you for this great journey!😀”

“This is, hands down, the absolute best history podcast on earth. I still don’t get why it’s called “woke”, it’s quite nonpolitical, unlike certain other history podcasts I shall not name. That said, I hope whoever just decided to read my review has a wonderful day!”

You may be thinking “228 episodes and you are STILL in the Dark Ages??” And you are right. This is one thing I’m loving about the show. Jamie is covering a lot of...”Read full review »

“Takes for ever to get to the point as if trying to buy time to make more episodes. Too much modern spin to take seriously. If you think opinions are facts you’ll love it. I’ve heard better on History Hit.”
