“Great show, only problem is the theme music is a bit of a nightmare with headphones.
Dunno why it’s so loud & so sudden, it’s like it pounces on you as soon as the last word of the podcast is exhaled”

“What bothers me most is when someone comes to talk about history without full knowledge and distorts it with his wrong words. Christians have designated Sunday as a holy day since the first century because it is the day on which Christ rose from the dead, not the Emperor Constantine, who...”Read full review »

“Have listened to this every weekday morning for the last year, and it’s been a brilliant start to every day. It’s fun and consistently fascinating, with excellent rapport between the presenters… so joining Club Retrospectors was long overdue!”

“The show is fun and informative. One of my favorite podcasts. Rebecca and Arion do a great job of researching every day’s topics. Olly also usually has a fact or two as well, but he clearly is there for his entertainment skills, not his research or analytic skills. A helpful hint for listeners is...”Read full review »

“Most episodes are fine in this ten-minute-ish daily history podcast. The hosts have a modicum of chemistry, but spend far too much time trying to be the funny one with a quip. The editing can be a bit rough, with some of the retakes and cuts being awkwardly done. After so long you’d hope that the...”Read full review »

“I thought this was going to be as good as History Daily. With in the span of 10 minutes on the Last Queen of Hawaii I knew i was going to have to unsubscribe. Listening to 3 British acents tell me how bad America was not enjoyable. Also the Rip on Fox news is pretty ridicoulous considering all...”Read full review »

“Love the show but I cannot stand the intro. The music, the voice actor etc. It doesn’t match the vibe of actual program. The intro is also too repetitive when you’re listening to multiple short episodes in a row, which I enjoy doing. Keep it snappy like the rest of this great show!”

Would be 5/5 stars if it wasn’t for the unfortunate sponsorship from Wine52 who are a dreadful company”

“Fun and easy listen. I have a casual interest in history and I've noticed a couple of things they have got wrong or overlooked, although I accept it's unfair to be finicky when they are trying to achieve a free-flowing and entertaining narrative. Long-running podcast History Pod has a...”Read full review »

“I love comedy, weird facts, all that kind of stuff. This podcast is exactly what I needed, it gets my brain working in a morning and is short enough that I can deal with it when I’ve just woken up. Weekends feel weird now because there’s no episode to wake up to.”
