I’ve been listening for 8 years now, and the quality has stayed consistently wonderful. I actually wrote to them back in college and got starstruck when they wrote back! This podcast was a very influential piece of media for me in my early 20s. It had me thinking about adversity, legacy, my own...Read full review »

When will you ladies cover Catherine de' Medici? You must admit, she’s long overdue! I’m getting all of my historical info on her from other sources, and I’d love to hear it from you two! Please? 😊Read full review »

When looking for a podcast on The Winchester House to listen to while working I stumbled upon the most amazing masterpiece. The perfect combination of facts and pure wit, mixed in with just enough conversation to not make the listener feel as if they’re just listening to a friend ramble as a lot...Read full review »

A search in Podcast Land for Jane Austen introduced me to my new friends, Beckett and Susan! They share my interests, offer sparkling conversation, and are available any time I am free. I’ve cooked, driven, cleaned, and gone on long walks with them. The best thing about these down-to-earth...Read full review »

I absolutely love this podcast! The hosts do a fantastic job bringing the subjects to life. I love learning about these women.

Thank you Beckett and Susan. Your fun conversations continue to make history as fascinating and interesting as I always knew it was. For years, I could only find biographies of men and scant references to women. But then I came across your podcasts. I started listening to you during the...Read full review »

Someone online just explained to me that there is a woman who whispers, “Be extra careful” in most episodes. I thought I was hearing an EVP. Cool episode. Didn’t know much about her. Wished I had when I was a younger artist searching for role models. Many male instructors disparaged her as least...Read full review »

Don’t believe the bad reviews out there, these women do there research and truly love history and telling women’s stories. I’ve never heard them “be-little” anyone as another reviewer states nor do they make light of slavery as a different reviewer stated. They will often try to bring things into...Read full review »

We never begin a review without thanking our friends at Apple for providing a platform for the voice of the podcast audience. Let's get into History Chicks… I found History Chicks as I was searching for a podcast that was filled with stories of the past. As I scrolled through their library...Read full review »

I’ve listened for years, and I always look forward to a new episode! Thanks History Chicks for making history fun! I always feel like I’m sitting with friends when I listen to you two ❤️ Thanks for all your hard work and passion!
Laura Lennon Curtis via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/03/24
I have learned so much listening to this show, not only about historical women (many I’d never heard of and many I gained new insight about), but also of the contexts within which they lived. This includes but is not limited to historical and cultural information. The hosts do the most thorough...Read full review »

I’m obsessed with The History chicks Podcast! I feel like Beckett and Susan are lifelong friends. They’ve been a constant companion in my ear as I’ve navigated some hard life transitions.

I have been listening to Susan and Beckett for 4 years already and they are my favourite podcast from all the ones in my list. Their personality mix is amazing, and I love learning history with them! They are fun, concise and well documented. Thankyou gals! You do a lot for our present world by...Read full review »

I’ve been listening for years, and heard about so many cool women I never would’ve known! These ladies do an excellent job of diving deep and telling a story.
jaclynmt via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/07/24
I love learning about women in history and this podcast provides the best and funniest accounts of famous women in history. The depth of knowledge, research and passion by the hosts are notable and I can’t wait for more episodes. Would also love to have re-recordings or updated audio on older...Read full review »

La Llorona is pronounced la your-ona. Great podcast, never miss an episode.

I can only imagine how much work goes into making each episode! You make history entertaining! :)
Poolboy999 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 01/24/24
To hear these two talk about slavery in any capacity. The upbeat tone is a real fail when it comes to tough topics. The hosts are unaware of their privilege and are often disconnected from the subjects they aim to cover, especially when they focus on non-Caucasian subjects. It’s jaw dropping at...Read full review »

Such a good show! I enjoy listening to it in the morning. It is so helpful to know all about important women in history! Keep up the great work!
Sponge_Bob_hehe via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/03/24
How on earth you did not mention professor Martha Nell Smith and her digital project Dickinson.org, that exists since 1992 and deals with the erasures Mabel Todd did? Since part of your podcast is most likely based on Smith's research? Also how did you not recommend the film Wild nights with...Read full review »

This show is a gift to history podcasts and women all at once. The hosts’ camaraderie, their knowledge, their storytelling technique is unparalleled. Sure the audio is rough in their first few seasons as they were putting themselves on the map, but they improve that and it’s worth it. You learn...Read full review »

I was excited to find this show, but sadly it did not live up to the hype. From unprepared hosts to poor audio quality, this whole show just came across as incredibly unprofessional.
Tablewalkr via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/25/23
I just recently discovered The History Chicks and am currently listening from the beginning. I love the conversational, non-academic, story-telling way they share the lives of these remarkable women. I love that many of the women I have never heard of, so I am often learning something new. I...Read full review »
Debobrinck via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/10/23
Once you do more than scratch the surface, these two are great and the most balanced and well researched podcast historians. Ranking with the BBC. The women they highlight, leaders,historical figures, entertainment personalities from across time and the globe are humans, not angels and not...Read full review »

The show is consistent and very well researched. I am a long-time listener and have learned so much! I also have to drive across Texas somewhat regularly so the long episodes work well for me!

Well researched ; informed - YASS!!

I have been a listener for a DECADE and this show has changed my life! The stories that Beckett and Susan tell us of women from history who have overcome all of the roadblocks placed in their way have inspired me to be brave, to reach higher, and stand up for myself. I have gone back to school,...Read full review »
Titania Red via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/09/23
The premise of this podcast is fine, but the hosts are apparently not academically-trained historians. If they were, they might stop superimposing their 21st century midwestern US opinions on everything. A true academic would consider all aspects of the historical context and use his/her...Read full review »

I barely touched the surface of this highly rated women’s history podcast when the sly comment on a woman who “had no business wearing a sleeveless dress” slapped me in the face. How two women can dare to present themselves as intellectuals on a subject so important, so long ignored as women’s...Read full review »

I listen to many historical podcasts- this is reliably my favourite as you are enfolded in the story, by women who are passionate about the subjects, without ever being egotistical.
Vixsnix via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 10/22/23
Love these ladies and how they present women in history… with sources included!

Hi! I love this podcast so much. I love listening to any history podcast, and history is also my favorite subject in school. I’m only 12 years old but love hearing them laugh and hearing different options on different things. My favorite episodes are “The Statue Of Liberty 🗽” and “Ida Lewis.” I...Read full review »

I truly love the history chicks podcast. I’ve learned so much! Really appreciate the amount of time and energy Beckett and Susan put into researching each topic. But I since the show has two hosts, it would be great to hear from both of them, not just primarily Beckett. I’d love to hear more...Read full review »

This last Clicquot episode was so good you guys! Susan quoted Ira Glass about not making art or excellence at the outset, but thank goodness you both stuck with it. Your banter and friendship come through, thank you so much for doing all of this research! I love hearing about these amazing women...Read full review »
