Heard about it over on Queens Podcast when the host joined one of their episodes. Came here to check it out, ended up listening to three whole seasons! Very entertaining content and highly talented host in my opinion. She definitely does her research. 5/5!

I stumbled onto this podcast while I was watching the show, Domina, and looked up what that actually meant during ancient Roman times. So I found the episodes about "dominas" and other powerful women during that time period. I look forward to the Tudor episodes next. Thank you!Read full review »

Nice work!

Storytelling is 10/10 with lots of environmental sounds that totally get you in the story! So well researched so you can share what you learn without spreading misinformed history takes. The stories are so in-depth I’ve listened to them all at least 6 times and enjoy it every time!

Thank you, Kate. Thank you for the hours of hard researched, “show pony” history.

I’ve learned so much and I am only on the 1st season. She makes history fun. Keeps me company on my morning walk.

Completely missed the point of the Sabine women and what women mean to Romans

I used to like this show- the first season is great! But the uploading schedule is so shoddy, and the latest season has been disappointing. Lack luster.
S94S via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/13/22
This Podcast is full of historical details on the topic at hand, and so full of humour it pulls you in every episode. Kate, as well as having an excellent voice for audio, is witty, descriptive, and makes such insightful comments that it’s a joy to listen to The Exploress. The show notes include...Read full review »

Amazing podcast. Have binged it all. I have always been interested in the day to day lives of “normal”/not wealthy people in history.

I love this podcast. And her way of presenting the information makes it fun and even funny sometimes.

I like it very much, thank you

Absolutely love listening to the way she takes us with her to travel back in time!
Gambi1989 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/11/22
Fantastic show. Public Women is a great entry episode.
Shwynn via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/06/21
So fascinating, compellingly told and very funny at times
debbides via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 07/04/21
I really enjoy when sheHas people voice the character she’s talking about and when she reacts to those people as if they are present. And I really like how she gets into the lives of women in that time And gives you an idea of what it must’ve been like for that person

A must-listen for everyone who's into women's history: educational, inspiring, witty, beautiful, intelligent, and always ALWAYS entertaining!Read full review »
freddylister via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 05/12/21
Although beautifully presented, it only concentrates on European history. I would give 5 stars if it reflected on the contributions Latin, Asian or Black peoples have made over time.
MillennialBetty via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/28/21
I love this podcast- it has been great escapism during the pandemic to listen to history, especially parts of history that we missed (and I sought out female figures in history!) The podcast has led me down several of my own rabbit holes and is one of my top recommendations when people ask what...Read full review »

I just have a really hard time with the intonation of her voice... its very dramatic “radioshow host” and flabouyant i really feel bad saying this but it just doesnt do it for me... im a bug fan of history and these sort of topics but the constant valley-girl-esque radio voice is just too much...Read full review »

The incredible research and delightful storytelling of the host, combined with pretty amazing sound effects and some imagined/some historically accurate dialogue between historical figures make this podcast a must-listen to anyone with an inkling of interest in history. The host brings humor and...Read full review »

Wonderful podcast. Well produced and a wonderful glimpse into the regular lives of women in history.

The Exploress is one of my top 3 to recommend to others for best podcast listening. I love history but find other podcasts can make it monotonous and dreary. Enter The Exploress, ensuring engaging content and making it relatable. I am very grateful for this podcast and can’t wait to see where...Read full review »

Excellent in every way. She brings in her personal biases but not in an obnoxious matter and her interpretation is plausible.
foster1318 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/03/20
I’m a huge history nerd, so I listen to a lot of history, especially “fringe” topics, like queer history, women’s history, indigenous history, etc. So when I say this podcast is in my Top 3, I mean that I think it’s pretty special. Kate is such an excellent storyteller, and her production...Read full review »

So well researched and professionally presented. Audible. Clear. A whiff of snark (always refreshing). Can’t play as background noise...this podcast must be listened to.
LI, NY via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/03/20
Sometimes history doesn’t leave much room to feel super proud of woman’s roles. But not anymore! I love learning about these amazing women, the different days in the lives of women (loved ancient Egypt), and what we got wrong and right about women in history!
Kkindiana29 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/02/20
Very informative while being funny

Dear exploresses, your podcast is one of my favourite ones! I love the combination of history, myth, daily details and well feminism! And the storytelling is delicious! Keep up the great job!

Love this podcast so much. Thank you for all your hard work!
AshPerkes via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/12/20
I found this podcast while looking to learn more about 19th century history. It has that and much, much more. The stories are engaging, the production is quality, and the lack of commercials for a podcast of this caliber is refreshing. Not to mention the wealth of information in the show notes on...Read full review »

I’m a guy and I love this podcast! It’s so well written, it keeps me engaged and it’s humorous. I’ve learned a lot about women in history this way I wouldn’t normally pickup in my own studies or reading. If you’re a guy and you’re a fan, you’re not alone!
Adam Einstien via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/14/20
This podcast is well researched, well produced, and witty! Kate does a great job telling the stories of historical women in an educational and entertaining way that keeps you hooked but helps you retain the information to whip out in your day to day. I also love learning about what it was like...Read full review »

Extraordinary story teller. I am seriously impressed with the slickness of the production of this podcast. Beautiful backing music and perfect pacing. Fabulous.
River critic via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 12/09/19
This podcast is my absolute fav of every new pod I’ve heard this year. The Exploress is storytelling at its best- fun, witty, clever, and extremely human and I love how it shares so many stories about women both known and unknown that must be shared. I love getting to grab my bonnet or gun or...Read full review »

I made my way through every episode in the last 2 weeks or so and I’m craving more!! Kate is such an amazing storyteller and the format of the pod will keep you enthralled.

Sweet baby dee via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/25/19
Yep, already hooked. Kate does a great job presenting powerful ladies of history, and has a sense of humor about it too. I especially enjoyed the Amazons episode on the Scythians, and the history of lady jungles.
B. T. Newberg via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/23/19
This is my kind of history! Kate takes listeners on a well-sourced deep dive into history through the lens of women’s experience and lived stories. Be sure to follow The Exploress on Instagram, too for visuals to compliment the episode and photographs of the women themselves. This is podcasts at...Read full review »
