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.

There were so many I stopped trying to keep track of them. If history is being written by people this sloppy - that’s scary.
