  • I love these guys!

    I found this podcast while searching for a different (not as good) one and I’m so glad I checked it out! They keep it interesting and funny and don’t go on and on. The episodes are a perfect length. If you don’t want to hear average, boring history, give this a try!

  • Brilliant

    This should be on BBC1 on a Saturday evening instead of all those mindnumpingly trash they have on like “dancing on thin ice”.

  • Nice add to the history mix

    I’m always on the lookout for a new history podcast, with preferably no loud American accents but a gentle British accent….Stumbled across Mikey who I honestly lost sight of after JJJ in the 1980s and here he is back in my life, making me smile while learning me. Hooray!
