  • One of my favorite podcasts

    Flash Point History is phenomenal, and deserves as much recognition as other well known and beloved history podcasts such as Hardcore History by Dan Carlin. Amazing work.

  • Begs the question

    Misuse of Begs The Question in the Attila the Hun 3, approx4 minutes in. BTQ refers to circular logic not ‘raises the question’ or ‘requires the question’, either of which is preferable. Love the podcast looking forward to more episodes.

  • Great Podcast!

    As a history lover, it is hard to find good podcasts. Too many of them are done by clowns who spend more time trying to be funny rather than discussing influential events. This podcast is different. This series presents historical facts in the way someone tells a story. It is not dry at all. That is what I enjoy the most!
