  • Love the show

    I’m learning that the history I learned in high school wasn’t actually history, but I still love learning about the past and realizing that nothing actually changes.

    Still love the show, you guys do a great job.

  • Excellent and informative

    I’m a recent convert to the podcast but I have been working my way through the back catalogue. I’ve known of Joe for a while from BtB, but the co-hosts are great. It’s also cool to hear about their expat stories. I can relate to a lot of it. The history is very informative and I like that they give sources. I’ve been able to get some good information for students. Thanks!

  • Still a favorite years later

    Excellent show that really does succeed in blending real historical accuracy with the kind of goofy antics and riffs a moron like me enjoys with friends. Joe is humble about how qualified and skilled he is at bringing these topics up each episode, and I can clearly hear when some of them are just goofy head-shakers, and when some hit close to home for him. Nate is a true lad who I relate to far too much, and Tom is pure craic on two legs, both act as great co hosts, and I enjoy the trio so darn ... more
