  • Anglo-centric

    Informative and concise, but History takes place outside of Great Britain and America. Also, lieutenant is pronounced leftenant, not lootenant.

  • Daily History in under 5 minutes

    I love how in under 5 minutes I get a comprehensive description of an event that happened on the same day in a previous year.

    A wide range of types of “historical events” are highlighted across the episodes. Most of the events aren’t included in mainstream textbooks. That’s the best kind of history.
