“I found this show during a five hour drive earlier in the summer and decided I had to start it from the beginning. I finished the show sometime last month. I miss it so much. I really hope it returns for a third season even without Allegra :( I saw a meme earlier today about not being taught how...”Read full review »

“Absolutely love this show. I’m so sad to see it ended and there’s only two seasons, but I already know that I’ll be going back and re-listening to a bunch of episodes. The hosts get along so well, and their dumb jokes and banter back and forth make this one of the most enjoyable podcasts I’ve...”Read full review »

“I miss the old format and subjects of the show it was more interesting compared to mere holidays. It’s starting to feel like a discounted “origin of everything” which covers all things on YouTube. Idk. They also haven’t been uploading in about a month so I’m losing interest.”

“I’m often skeptical of the format where hosts research a topic in one week (usually just online) and then “present” it via podcast. Like, I can read Wikipedia myself, thanks very much. But these three pick things they have experienced and heap plenty of entertaining and insightful commentary on...”Read full review »

“I found this podcast by accident and was absolutely delighted by the topics of season 2. I have a fascination with holiday traditions and where they come from, I’m the annoying person who loves to share what I’ve learned with less interested people. ;-) This Podcast IS fun and delightful and the...”Read full review »

“I love History of Fun. Plante, Allegra and Russ are great. I love the history of holidays, and I wanted to share a fun holiday thing my family does! Every Easter we create “Easter Soup” - a Polish tradition! In the old days families would take their meat to the Catholic Church to be blessed for...”Read full review »

“One time, in the States, I was at a karaoke bar and Dennis Haskins came in and started singing. I was too drunk to talk to him, but I tried to get a picture. Even so, it ended up just being a blurry mess the next day.
Now, I live in Japan, where private room karaoke is the main form of karaoke....”Read full review »

If you're looking for a show that gives you 'all' the detail facts about a topic than this may not be...”Read full review »

“The History of Fun was a podcast I really enjoyed in the first season. I listened to most of the episodes. I disagree with the reviews saying that the hosts should be rethought. I think the three of them have good chemistry and the variety of ages is important because it provides wider...”Read full review »

“I love this podcast and love their humor and their ability to laugh at anything and everything but one of the episodes “A presidential pardon to turkeys” is literally just the same episode but with a different title as the Macy thanksgiving parade, but otherwise the best podcast ever”

“This is the first episode I listen to with the sharper image in Brookstone and believe me I was not impressed perhaps I do need to reevaluate their host and make a different concept on the show I’ll keep trying some more but I don’t know.”

“I genuinely enjoy this show more when Plant isn’t on it. He drags things down with his schlocky, un-clever jokes. The other hosts are funny and interesting.
Take the break to nip him out of the equation.”

“Female voice and two male sounding voices do good job at talking about fun-related anecdotes. I like the male voice that’s also from Kansas City. Please talk about the quitillion (kit-trillion) high school dance thing please, we didn’t have it at my school and I refuse to look it up”
