  • Charming and fun

    I recently had the urge to learn all of history from the beginning of pre-history, how cool to find a podcast that does exactly that! Chris seems like a normal dude who just likes history like the rest of us, which is quite refreshing in the era of super produced podcasts with 5 ad breaks. Keep it up!

  • An attitude of gratitude for this masterpiece

    Hundreds of Podcasts over thousands of miles. I stumbled onto this podcast looking to better understand how the stories from our past fit together. Chris certainly has filled in the gaps and explained shifts in Hegemony over the millennia. I listen to his show while mountain biking rural areas of California. His soothing voice and untold hours of work have kept me company through river crossings and over mountain passes this year. I am so grateful….I’ve listened to every episode now and can... more

  • Fantastic and thorough

    This podcast is a wonderful way to learn about Human (as well as a little pre-modern-human) history. It’s also nice and somewhat relaxing for those of you with an active mind, in need of something to get out of your own head for a bit. Thank you Chris!

  • Best Podcast in the History of the World

    This is by far the most enjoyable and informative podcast I have ever listened to. I recommend scrolling back to the first episode and taking them in order. I am almost done with Volume II. I started listening end of August 2025. What I have learned from this podcast has added context and depth to the challenges of modern life. It gives me a sense of hope to learn where humanity has been and what we have done across the world and time. I especially love the worldwide focus of the podcast. I also... more
