“As a history major, I firmly believe if history were taught in a manor similar to this podcast (not stuffy, not just names and dates) students and the rest of society would benefit. Thanks for the time and effort of TDIEPH’s staff!”

“First, this trio of hosts is delightful. Their rapport, knowledge, and warmth make each episode a joy. The content is varied but rich, and fascinating. From exploding whales, to the first telephone in The White House, history is vast and studded with hidden, yet relevant gems. So good!”

“Good concept. Some great episodes. However, the new episodes where Kelly Jacksons voice, laugh, and constantly bringing the story back to herself becomes extremely tiresome to listen to.”

“After listening to my first episode — the one about Mary Decker and Zola Budd — I realized that I could not take this podcast seriously. Not very well researched. Pretty one-sided. I don’t want to hear viewpoints masqueraded as facts.”

“I loved the concept of this show when I first heard about it, but after listening to a dozen or so episodes I quickly realized it’s just yet another podcast featuring far left “intellectuals” painting historical events to suit their narratives. Plenty of cheerleading for leftwing politicians and...”Read full review »

“The show has some good episodes, but they clog up the podcast feed with episodes of unrelated shows. This is a pet peeve of mine. Just because I subscribe to this show doesn't mean I want to hear every podcast you've ever been on. keep the feed on topic.”Read full review »

“The show is interesting but sort of under-researched - we get the opening tag line that such-and-such happened on such-and-such day but then extremely few details. And now they’re taking sponsorship money from far-right prepper sites, which is sort of my limit :(.”

“I really wanted to like this, but I just can’t get past their pro government intervention, anti capitalist agenda. These hosts throw around words like “capitalist” in the wrong context instead of actually educating people on what these words actually mean. I’m tired if listening to unacademic...”Read full review »

“I really like the idea of “this day in history,” but instead of a discussion of history, all you get is the hosts trying to signal how progressive they are. I lean left too but it’s irritating. This latest episode was a great example, in which they absolutely fawned over the black panthers. Look,...”Read full review »

“This is an excellent podcast on important moments in US history. Perhaps in our "history-is-bunk" culture, some people might call the topics "esoteric" (by which they might mean oscure and unimportant), but I think there are giving us a thick description of how we have became what...”Read full review »

“I listen to this show religiously.
I love the content.
I adore the humor.
The hosts are a perfect complement to each other.
But I’m going to have to stick a screwdriver in my ear if Nicole and Kelly don’t shut the eff up with the constant affirmative noises. “Mmmm….”
“Mmm hmmm” “uh huh”...”Read full review »
