  • I was looking for a new historical podcast to listen to and thought this looked interesting. I clicked on the latest episode (89) and looked forward to hearing about the Brinks Robbery. Instead, what I heard was a diatribe of false information related to the SCOTUS’ Dobbs decision.

    I turned it off and won’t be listening to another episode, which is really too bad. If you’re a fledgling podcast with only 89 episodes so far, maybe you shouldn’t offend half of your listening audience by spreadi... more

  • Halfwit History is 100% fun

    I love this podcast! Kiley and Johnathan have such a fun rapport that’s enjoyable to listen to. Kiley herself is endearingly passionate about history and Johnathan provides funny commentary. I also love hearing about little-known topics and people of history! Check this one out, y’all.

  • I love this podcast! As a historian, I love learning about history, but I don't always care for the boring old books. Jonathan and Kiley are so much fun together, and I love how they approach their topics. I definitely recommend this podcast.

  • Dynamic Duo

    Covering lots of different topics in a bright and fun filled way. Good clarity in audio. A good podcast for those that like to learn about history without diving too deep. Can stray off topic a bit, and chatter at times, but altogether, worth giving a go.
