- Hub History is Fantastic
I’ve listened to all of the HubHistory from the beginning. The host enthusiasm for his adopted city is palpable. I’ve lived in this area for 76 years and have been a history nerd all my life and can count on this podcast to continue my historical understanding of this area. The host signature style of delivery adds to the flow and separates his broadcast from others in a pleasing and pleasant way

United Statesa month ago - Exceptional podcast!
This is an exceptional podcast. I’m a lifelong New Englander and history fan, but despite that, the topics are often new to me. I also appreciate the close attention paid to the original sources, Jake doesn’t “dumb them down” for his audience, instead he works to integrate them into his presentation. As far as his inflection goes, I’m a fan, to me it represents the care and deliberation with which he approaches every aspect of the show.

I’m amazed at the consistently well researched stories and episodes. It’s been exceptionally enjoyable as we come up on our 250th and with so many tales still having relevance today!
Apple Podcasts5JJ in SomervilleUnited States2 months ago - Voice is unlistenable
The content looks high-quality and fascinating, but I cannot listen to the host’s delivery. The excessive emphasis and ornamentation makes it sound like he doesn’t know what he’s saying, prevents me from understanding, and is irritating. Would love to listen to a toned-down version. Sounds like a salesman admiring himself in the mirror. I listen to many, many podcasts and audiobooks and this style is unusual and unusually off-putting.
