I absolutely adore this show. My only gripe or problem with it is I want more! I wish the episodes were longer. Or had more 2 parters.
Really love all the content, of course, Dawn! 😍 You’re the best! But really enjoying the live shows you’ve been posting lately. As a public school kid myself, I so look forward to more! Keep up all your wonderful, insightful work, babe!
This podcast is absolutely addicting. I am a history fan, but Dawn is so passionate and funny and interesting, that even my friends who hate history love it when i pull up HILF. thank you Dawn for educating me and making me laugh!!
OMG this show is amazing! You don’t have to be a history nerd to like it but if you are you will enjoy it. Dawn Brody is so knowledgeable
Just listened to the horror movie episode. You’ve got to love her energy and excitement, but there wore so many lazy errors in this that were just down to not doing the research or making assumptions about things. There were so many I stopped trying to keep track of them. If history is being written by people this sloppy - that’s scary.
