My only complaint is the quality of the audio. However it sounds like the author does a lot of traveling so that may explain. I’m looking forward to seeing where this story goes, as Latin American history is an increasingly broad subject.

The host is an informative narrator that cleverly ties real life historic events in the Americas to our current world.

Very good podcast on the Latin American history. I really enjoy listening to the well researched and interesting episodes!

Pleasure it is to listen to this roam around a continent with my maps app in hand. The perspectives of indigenous and interloper are well-described. One can feel the frontier being probed and breached.

The history is interesting, but the terrible reading is very distracting. Maybe find someone to read with a smooth delivery and correct pronunciations.

The host does his research and presents as much information as possible while still keeping it interesting. I’ve enjoyed learning so much!

Honest assessment of available sources structured into a compelling narrative, great if you wanna learn more about the history of Latin America.

Very thorough, it would make it more appealing if it were more dramatized.

A thoroughly enjoyable listen.

I only know snippets here and there about Latin American history, and have been listening from the beginning of the pod to pull things together. It’s great! Chill, informative, very accessible for the lay history fan.

Great podcast. Thanks!

Max It works very hard to understand academic history in a way that is relatable to his listeners. I love his accent as well!

This historical overview of Latin America, starting as early as we can through different archeological sources, all the way through contact with the Europeans and colonisation, is clearly laid out and argued very carefully. I appreciate it very much. Many thanks!

I found this podcast about a year ago and recently caught up with the latest episode (August 2021 as of the writing of this review). I have learned a lot about Latin American history from each episode. Max seems to be on a bit of a break, but I hope he’s well and that he’ll be back soon with more...Read full review »

Outsiders caused central and southern indigenous political problems for self interest mainly USA. How can a “Mexican” Apache INDIAN be the last Indian to fight 🇺🇸. Their are conspiracies. Indigenous people have been fighting to keep their land from all directions.

I recently found the podcast and am really enjoying it for Latin America history. Note to the show, I went back to beginning but was unable to hear episodes 2 and 4-9. Thanks.
Ryan.nj via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/27/21
I’m really happy to have found this podcast. It’s simple in format and Max brings a lot of great information each time. From the Precolombian era it is now on the Conquistadors. I look forward to seeing how far forward it’s able to go! Recommend if you are interested in Latin America.
LaotianRabbit via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/10/21
This is a very good podcast on a topic that is under appreciated. I wish the creator and narrator would include a bit more of his sources but other than that I highly recommend it!

This is not a high tech, studio-made production, and yet it is one of the best podcasts there is! The passion of the host and the vast amounts of information he knows make this podcast entertaining and indispensable for anyone with even a mild interest in Latin American history.

The author has a bottomless supply of interesting tales. His smooth narration floats you through time and place. I’m happy when I see a new episode pop up in the morning.
JSCArizona via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/12/20
This history podcast is incomparable in its depth and action packed narrative. The history of personalities and motivations beginning in Spain, the conquistadors and the indigenous is expertly uncovered and presented. Somehow Max's Australian accent makes the presentation even better. This...Read full review »

Very interesting and easy to follow.
The_Glaze via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/16/20
Latin America is a vast area with a variety of people and cultures. Attempting such a topic takes a person who really understands what they are doing. Max does a great job researching and presenting the information in a clear and concise way that makes it easy for the listener to follow along.
Normandy9 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/29/20
This is a great podcast and I’m glad I started listening. The pre-Columbian episodes in particular cover a period of history that is neglected, and the podcast format helps with understanding. A great effort. Keep it up!
TM195 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 01/09/20
I cannot recommend this podcast highly enough. From pre Colombian beginnings to European colonisation and beyond this podcast delves into the fascinating history of a part of the world that is often ignored or sidelined. Each episode opens up a whole new world of detail and enquiry - and has...Read full review »

Latin America is enormous, and a podcast covering its history must be bold. Fortunately, Max is up to the challenge, giving you a passionate, well-researched, well-presented narrative history of the region. It will be fun to see how he handles the different strands in the colonial era, the wars...Read full review »

I love history podcasts like THoR and hardcore history, this podcast is equal in quality and is very interesting
ItsSabs via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/16/19
Thank you for this podcast. It’s really interesting and has enriched my knowledge while simultaneously showing me how little I know about Latin American history.
Giraldophoto via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/04/19
The presenter loves his subject and it is reflected in the output. He explains everything very well and adds lots of historical and economic context.
lingua203 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/26/19
An impressively objective and clear presentation of this wide and fascinating subject. This podcast is now one of my favorites
Moctezumaa via Apple Podcasts · Sweden · 06/23/19
I’m on the fifth episode and I’m hooked . Awesome podcast! Keep them coming man. 5 stars for sure. Wish they were a little lengthier but other than that this is perfect .
spiritual_guru via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/17/19
One of my top favorite podcast series. Well researched and delivered, Max is a good storyteller. He shares facts and details but ultimately he gets himself out of the way lets a riveting narrative shine through. My only wish is that he could produce them faster. Max, put up a Patreon and quit...Read full review »

Considering the amount of land and time being covered, as well as the amount of universal agreeable facts available to us about Latin American history, he does an excellent job. Any one episode, I feel like he can dedicate to a podcast itself. I really enjoyed it.

As a US diplomat posted in Latin America I've had the classical history overviews and the good fortune to learn both Spanish and Portuguese making my job easier. But the origins of the Spanish and Portuguese empires were just memorized names, dates and turning points. We usually deal in the...Read full review »
