- Sadly spoiled
The actual historical information in the podcast is really good, but the format is obviously designed for those with a short attention span. Each episode is too short and spoiled further by the abrasive, repetitive AMERICAN adverts. I listen in the UK and have to put up with local adverts in other podcasts, but to be continually swamped with loud American voices advertising products and services I can’t even choose to buy is annoying beyond belief.

United Kingdoma month ago - Best History Podcast
I listen to a few history podcasts. The research and story telling on This is History is exceptional. Dan Jones is engaging and interesting and funny!
Apple Podcasts5nikkiloshUnited Kingdoma month ago - Downfall After Season 7
I’ve finished up to season 8 and I’ve gotta say, I’ve been really enjoying it up until this point. There are a lot more sound effect edits than there used to be and a lot of the time, they drown out Dan talking. It’s all the time now and it’s getting really difficult to listen and really concentrate on what’s being said because I can barely hear him talk.
Please just go back to what it used to be! It doesn’t have to be this complicated.

United Statesa month ago - Overall Enjoyable
I’ve been listening since the beginning and am an avid follower of the show. That said, the AI sound effects are starting to grate. They’re obviously fake and a little creepy? There’s something very off about them and it pulls me out of the content a bit.

I love this podcast but have stopped listening because it pisses me off how often it pushes ‘on purpose with Jay shetty’.
