““CE / BCE” - you still haven’t changed the starting date for the numbering, so renaming BC / AD is just annoying virtue-signalling.
Most, but not everything, on the BBC is just as revisionist/PC. Give it a rest, will you?”

“Such a great podcast!!
You learn whilst using humour, and the team find the fun, interesting facts in each topic.
I’ve learned so much about things, people and places I have never even heard of eg. Did you know Mozart shacked up with his ex girlfriend and her husband? Or that the Incas were...”Read full review »

“Wow. The Harriet Tubman one was just so AMAZING that I had knew I had to listen to the Josephine Baker one and was thrilled when it was the same historian (and I think the same comedian) Just brilliant! And then the Black Beard one and just ALLLLLLLLL of the ones I’ve listened to (not nearly...”Read full review »

I note that this is the 11th episode, with new material, and final episode of this, the 7th season of the podcast.
Perhaps I am mistaken, but this...”Read full review »

“Loved this pod for several years. This ep may be the best yet. Adding the orchestra was amazing. Hearing the music while it was being discussed made it come alive. As an American, I hadn’t had a lot of exposure to David O’Doherty, but he was hilarious while fitting in perfectly to the theme. Wow!”

“Using humour to teach would be good if it's funny, but here it borders on the inane and even childish on too many occasions. The so-called comedians of the "correct" mix of ethnicity that get on this show are embarrassing. You have expert guests and it's a wasted opportunity. Also...”Read full review »

“I’ve come to this podcast quite late and have started at the beginning. I’m now into the third year and I’m enjoying it… up to a point.

“I’ve listened to this podcast for years and used to look forward to each new episode. Last year was a really disappointing season- repeat after repeat after repeat, calling themselves “radio edits”.
The 2024 season only started in January and we’re back to repeats already. What’s going on?”

“It was excruciating. Amira, the historian, never laughed at Nabil’s jokes. That should have been your clue to edit him out. It was truly offensive, I can only imagine what his shows are like, sexist and coprophiliac. And reading the reviews, it seems you’ve never learned your lesson.
Edit: I...”Read full review »
