  • I love the variety!

    It’s wonderful that you have different writers with different styles, and that the topics are wide-ranging. I especially love your focus on the history of things that are currently in the news, like the Strait of Hormuz and vaccines. In fact, “Vaccines” is one of my favorites!

  • Perfect in every way

    Only way this podcast could be better is more eps! I am obsessed and freak out every time a new ep is uploaded. I listen to every one multiple times, cause I fall asleep and want to hear the bits I miss.

  • The vaccine episode was good

    There aren’t really any side effects of vaccines, and it makes no-sense that they were upset about that and not the episodes about wars. Can you do some Feminist or Pride history stuff?

  • Food History

    I’m here for all the episodes about the history of food—vanilla, chocolate, marzipan, pizza, the latest one—peanut butter! Since I fall asleep long before each episode finishes, I just keep relistening. Very relaxing and does what it’s meant to—help me sleep!
