“Enjoy listening to this podcast. As a life long history buff, I enjoy listening to topics you never here or read about back in school. The diversity and obscurity of the topics is very refreshing.”

“As a retired high school history teacher I have lots of admiration for this highly informative and enjoyable show. There are a number of other history podcasts out there but this one is by far the best. The hosts know their stuff even the musician who is co host. They stay up to date on issues...”Read full review »

“I have to agree with those why say you’ve become too liberal. Joe Biden has been an awful president.”

“Some of the early stuff is very good and there isn’t not a ton of historical in accuracies. However, as time goes on, you can definitely hear the liberal leaning talking points versus true historical stories. Take, for instance, their claim the Hoover handpicked Reagan and ushered in corruption....”Read full review »

“Bob and Ben discuss our American history with joy and awareness! They often start with connections to the past, but then they usually move into examination of our overall culture. Somehow, they keep things friendly and cordial, even when they are exploring difficult ideas.”
