  • Infodumping but make it a podcast

    I absolutely love this podcast! I love hearing other people’s hyper fixations and learning about history. Hearing the parallels between George III and current events (The Revolution Was Brewing) was WILD to hear!

  • History presented such a digestible and funny way!

    Tori is great at summarizing and explaining the points of the story and Gwenna’s commentary throughout is comedic gold without being too distracting either

  • So fun to listen to! My only complaint is that sometimes the volume is to quiet or two loud for one or the other of the hosts, so trying to find a happy medium for volume can be a bit difficult periodically. Still so worth listening to each episode and I'm so excited to continue listening!

  • I look forward to every episode

    I was skeptical at first. I didn’t think I could like a podcast about history, but I was gonna give it a try because I love y’all and let me tell you I am so glad I did. I love it. Listening to Tori talk about history in the way of telling a story. She paints the best picture. I had one professor in college who taught history in this way and it was one of my favorite classes, and this is slowly becoming my favorite podcast!

Q: What patriot was surprisingly apathetic about tax acts and supportive of the British expanding upon them?
Benjamin Franklin was the patriot who was apathetic and consented to a more extensive tax plan.
Sugar Actin' Up

Sugar Actin' Up
Q: What was the official name of the Sugar Act?
The formal name referred to it as the American Duties Act.
George Washington Was Far From Perfect
Q: What does any of this have to do with the American Revolution outside of George Washington being there?
While it demonstrates tension that leads to conflict, it also shows how Washington gained experience and knowledge about British fighting tactics, informing his decisions during the Revolution. Many key figures from the Revolution also started their military careers in the Seven Years War.
