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.

United States5 months ago - Best history podcast I’ve ever listened to
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.
