“I’ve now listened to this reading by Jill Lepore three times in the last 24 hours or so. I can’t stop thinking about it and I’m going down various rabbit holes online to learn more! The amount of historical context about Frankenstein I never knew before is blowing me away. And then to learn that...”Read full review »

“This is my current favorite podcast. Jill delivers the story in an uncomplicated, intelligent and pleasant way. Her voice is so soothing and well modulated. I’ll be listening to the other shows she is on after this one. Keep up the great work!”

“Why have one, when you can have a pair of keets?
This podcast is super informative about very interesting random stories—hence, the title. The Last Archive would not be the same without the new host, Ben. His silky smooth voice and obvious fascination with all things historic drive you to want...”Read full review »

“Hello,
I listen to your show because you have a unique perspective on a variety of subjects.
Something you said in the time episode about people who work during the pandemic that their days are extremely long. As a blind person our days are always the same whether it’s Covid or not. Most of us...”Read full review »

“I have really enjoyed the first 3 seasons of The Last Archive with Jill Lepore and Season 4 with Ben Naddaff-Hafrey continues with excellent narratives about the history of truth. Fingers crossed for a Season 5 - Ben has successfully carried the mantle handed off by Jill Lepore. Can’t wait to...”Read full review »

“Come on. Gambling ads constantly. It’s grotesque especially as it feels like I’m being pressed by horrible ads to pay for premium. It’s obvious and obnoxious.”

“Thank you for this episode. To a large extent Ms. Ella is an enigmatic person, and glimpsing more into her life at the reformatory is priceless. I feel the podcast should have described better the atrocities those Caucasians committed against the “inmates” especially the black female inmates. It...”Read full review »

I’d love to hear the author’s thoughts on the historic roots of the American aversion to “socialized medicine “. Why was Oveta Hobby happy to let...”Read full review »

“I’ve very much enjoyed all 3 seasons of The Lost Archive. I hope a 4th will be coming! Jill is a wonderful guide on these journeys, which is really what each episode is. A journey. Her voice is so easy to listen to. She is thoughtful in her explorations of the widely varied topics. Great podcast!”

“Jill Lepore has a good ear for the unusual and a great sense for how to get from those little unusual stories to the present. Her episode on encyclopedias is well worth a listen!”

“Ms. Lepore falls into the same trap many journalists do when they attempt to be “unbiased.” She makes false equivalencies and ignores facts to appear above the fray. As a historian, she should recognize how poorly her attempts will age.”

“I have 8 newer podcasts than this one but this one is ahead of all of them, even though I have already listened to it. Can’t seem to get rid of it. Guess I’ll have to cancel my subscription. Is that a paid ad or something? Maybe I need a new podcasting app. Too bad. I liked this show.”
