- An Actual History Podcast
I’ve listened to some others, one very well known, and always felt like I was just getting entertainment that was barely true. Not here. more

Canadaa month ago - A Great Podcast
Dirk does a great job making this series both interesting and informative. Some history podcasts get lost in the weeds or suffer from being over generalized, but this podcast does not make those mistakes. This podcast is a perfect way to become acquainted with German history (especially for those of us who live outside of Germany). I highly recommend it!
Apple Podcasts5*MV98*United Statesa month ago - Great history with a dash of dry humor
This is a great show for digging into German history. It covers a lot, and it’s more than just names and dates. I like the slow build of a historical story (recent series on the Hanse and the Teutonic Knights, for example), and the humor interspersed in the narrative makes it a thoroughly enjoyable listen.
Apple Podcasts5CorvidcatmomUnited Statesa month ago - Good storytelling and some humor also

He also adds subtle humor to situations that are often difficult to understand from my 21st century perspective. Lots of information, names of people places, etc, and explanations of why they are important. I really enjoy when Dirk reads verbatim the declarations of popes, emperors, dukes, etc. I wish he would make more references ... more
