- Interesting listen
I do like the podcast and the host, She can get rather giggly which is very distracting.

I feel like I’ve been cheated from my true purpose in life I WANNA HOST A PODCAST TO INTELLECTUALLY DUNK ON AWFUL MEN FROM HISTORY. But seriously, this fills me with glee as a certified hater and nerd.

I love that every time I open an episode I walk away 10x more educated. This podcast is entertaining & absolutely fantastic - who knew there was so much history just covered up because it didn’t look good?

United Kingdom6 months ago - Learn something new every time
I love this podcast and Claire is an amazing host. I feel like every time I turn on this podcast to listen. I learned something new about why the world is the way it is. I especially loved the episode on 1960s Democrats, Terry Dolan, & Samuel Cummings. These episodes to me definitely epitomized the common complaint that we don’t learn enough modern history in school. Claire succeeds in bringing out the best entertaining values in all of the guests!
