“Love everything - great subjects, research, delivery, etc. Amazing.
On a side note, he blasts loud music before and after, so you can’t listen to it to fall asleep. Which would have been nice.”

“Pleasantly surprised at just how much I’ve been enjoying this excellent podcast. Outstanding job by Mr. Eckart in presenting his material in an informative & sometimes humorous manner, as if talking to a group of friends.

“10/10 history podcast imo, doesn’t take itself too seriously while providing all the crucial information. Love the humour, love the content, I would highly recommend this podcast to anyone with even a minor interest in history”

“Neil does a great job of bringing these old stories to life - lots of podcasts get bogged down in minutiae, but this one keeps the story rolling without getting lost in the weeds. It’s been fun to watch the podcast get to the point it’s at. Thanks for the great show!”

“There is no history podcast like it. This is real histotainment. Neil is authentic, humble and a good witty story teller. War and Conquests covers many topics with in depth multi part series going into depth. Personally I enjoyed the siege of Rhodes/Malta a lot.”

“I love this show! He brings a fresh perspective to the world a history podcasts, some great color commentary, and an awesome sense of humor. I’ve listed to all of Mike Duncan, most of Dan Carlin, and parts of several other history podcasts. This one is right up there with the best!”

Neil is hilarious and I really enjoy the sarcasm, dark humor, and pop culture references...”Read full review »
