  • Interesting Enough, and Love the Cocktail Segments

    I truly appreciate the passion and effort these ladies bring to the podcast, and some of the episodes are genuinely interesting. Two notes though: as as an actual fellow history-lover, there have just been too many instances where facts given have just literally been wrong. I’m sure Rachel does research the topics but I just have to wonder what the sources *are.* Secondly, the episodes are much shorter than what they could be given the topics and there is SO much information left out that can an... more

  • Making History Fun

    I’ve never been a history buff, I found it hard to get into and pay attention. But I’ve always wanted to be THAT person that was able to spurt out history facts at parties.

    This show is making history interesting. The hosts are just the cats pajamas.

  • Awesome show

    You two should do an episode on the Spanish Civil War! Tons of interesting stuff to unpack — social movements, politics, ideologies and lots of great characters. (The battles and strategies are def on the back burner.)

  • Finally a great history podcast! One drawback tho

    Update: I still love this podcast and enjoy listening. My only complaint is about the first episode of every season, when Leah takes over. She does a great job, but Rachel won't let her speak! I'm sure she's used to doing most of the talking, but dang girl, let Leah speak without interrupting all the time!

    I have been looking for literal years for a fun, engaging history podcast. I’m a history lover, but even I can’t stand people droning on and on about a topic in a monotone voice. When I stum... more

  • Too short

    I’m new to the show and I like it but I think the episodes are way too short. I feel like there’s too much meat left on the bone with many of the stories.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP 170: Thy Will Be Done and George Washington's Legacy of Slavery (with Special Guest, John Garrison Marks)
Q: Now, summarize the book for our listeners.
The book tells the story of how Americans have thought about George Washington's involvement with slavery over the past 250 years, arguing that the conversation around him has always been shaped by broader political and cultural needs, and that emancipation in his will represents a pivotal, yet complex, moment in American memory.
EP 150: The Remedial Herstory Project (with Special Guest, Kelsie Brook Eckert)
Q: What advice do you have for how we navigate this administration in these times?
We need to keep our head and be part of the fight against fascism, showing up in our communities and calling local officials to accountability.
