“I've been listening to these two for quite a while now. It IS a history podcast. The subjects are generally interesting. Dave, the host, knows how to pronounce many words, but can't be bothered to learn things like pronunciation or definitions. That's fun. Gareth is genuinely funny,...”Read full review »

“That’s a quote from my mom who later wanted to sit longer in the car so we could finish listening to an episode. You had her hooked! I think it’s because Dave is like my cranky older uncle (her brother) who hates everyone and Gareth is like the younger one who finds himself in situations that...”Read full review »
“I always recommend The Dollop (both the regular American podcast and England and UK) to anyone who likes weird facts, is decidedly irreverent and raunchy, and needs a good laugh. So basically, all the cool kids! Dave and Gareth never fail to fascinate and tickle me! (See what I did there?)
P.S....”Read full review »

“If Dave Anthony could just put together good episodes without trying to end them by drawing comparisons to modern problems that reinforce his extreme political opinions, this would be one of the biggest podcasts around. Using the platform to force your mindset on the listener is selfish and...”Read full review »

“All of Dave’s jokes are either sex jokes or him pretending to be a woman, and his improv is not good. It would be better if he stuck to the story and let Garreth make the jokes. Also, it seems like Dave is sometimes uninformed and doesn’t do enough research into the topics. He ends up making up...”Read full review »

“This was recommended to me by a friend as a fresh take on history. It’s alright.
These two guys could cut the podcast time in half by dropping the ‘amusing banter’ (which is not amusing and relies on them ranting a lot) and letting the topic do the work for them.”
“I listened off and on for years but I can’t even get through an episode without completely losing interest these days. It feels like this went from being an American history podcast with comedy, to a comedy podcast with a story. Old episodes had amazing historically poignant stories full of...”Read full review »

“The Dollop is such a great and unique show. I recommend it all the time. Everyone loves it
Past Times is great but please - when you ask Garfie and the guest to guess, read the title of the first article. It’ll add a lot of fun”

“This podcast makes me laugh hard. So hard in fact that I’m nervous listening to it while driving, which is problematic, because I’m a trucker. It’s worth the risk, though.”

“This show neither needs nor wants you as fans so go away. Be fascist somewhere else.
Update: in spite of what some fools post, progressives cannot be fascists. Perhaps totalitarians, but fascism is fundamentally extreme rightism.
Also: Dave Anthony is a dude I’d do all but catch a bullet for,...”Read full review »

“Don’t ever disagree with Dave about anything. I mildly disagreed with something he said (he expresses his opinions freely which I think is fine). Dave became very mean to me. Very. Then he blocked me on Twitter. I chose to then stop my Patreon support and stop listening.”

“Dave Anthony - who we all know has previous for misogyny - spinelessly aligning JK Rowling with Anita Bryant is a categorical lie, and he knows it. Any evidence to back it up, Dave? Thought not.
Comparing the contemporary trans "movement" with gay rights at that time is offensive and...”Read full review »

“I feel like I’ve learned more about US history from the Dollop than Dave has. How can you read about other worldviews so much and not reflect on your own even once in like ten years? If something comes too close to challenging modern progressive thought they smugly laugh it off as people in the...”Read full review »

“Love the podcast, it changed my life, but they’re not perfect. I’m really disappointed about how Dave talked about a possible SA in episode 621. Would have been better to not include the story entirely. It was a not so veiled dig at the episode’s subject/potential victim and didn’t bring anything...”Read full review »
