Best podcast for history overview! Ali presents information in an easy to understand format covering the most important periods of the regions. History normally puts me to sleep but she keeps me engaged from start to finish. I’ve learned so much about the world and look forward to new episodes.
This is the best history podcast I’ve ever listened to! Alli’s explanations are extremely clear. Her focus on key concepts and a narrative overview is perfect for listeners who want to build a more complete picture of the world. The episodes are engaging and easy to understand, but are also filled with depth and nuance. The listener is left with a solid framework of the world to use as context for current events, travel, or a deeper dive into history and culture.
Finally found a podcast I can listen to with my 10 year old boy that we can both enjoy and learn from. What a great history teacher you are and I thank you for doing this podcast.
Alli deserves her flowers! This podcast is insightful, well researched, and empathetic. Alli deserves her content in a wonderful digestible manner and provides an unbiased bird’s eye point of view of complex geopolitical conflicts.
Alli provides a balanced and comprehensive bird eye view of world history. Perfect for folks who are wanting an initial exposure to world event/history. Would recommend!!!!
