  • Please, hire an editor, Brion!

    I’m a huge fan of Brion’s work, both as a podcaster and a professor. The only reason I can’t give this show a full 5 stars is that the ads seem to be totally out of place for the genre and often interrupt Brion mid-sentence (if not mid-syllable). Please, Brion, see whether you can poach a decent editor who can make your ads work better with the show!

  • A great homeschooling resource!

    As a homeschooling mom to elementary-age boys, I find Brion’s podcast invaluable to help me teach them true history! We fully intend to use McClanahan Academy for high school history when the time comes!

  • You just might have a lot to unlearn…

    If you’re looking for history without any R or D spin, you’ve found it. McClanahan’s opinions are formed from primary sources and presented with no hype or nonsense.

  • Searching for a history podcast? Look no more…

    This is an outstanding history related podcast. Professor McClanahan not only gives you the unvarnished truth, but he backs it up with contemporary documentation. No political correctness here; this is 100% truthful history as it happened. I would recommend to anyone interested in the truth. professor McClanahan is one of those folks that you would love to have the opportunity to sit down with him and discuss all of history with your favorite beverage. I highly recommend.
