  • I enjoy the banter

    I have ADHD and this podcast is great. There are other history podcasts, but I love the banter and derailment of conversations. It feels like I’m hanging with friends!

  • This is my ideal history podcast. Tori goes deep into the details without worrying about a schedule. She and Gwena have real conversation about the topics. They make me laugh while not avoiding the difficult and problematic things. I'm racing through the backlog and it is going to be hard to wait for each episode.
