  • There are many great history podcasts, this isn’t one of them

    This podcast combines every mistake you can make in history podcasting and calls it a show. The host is absurdly judgmental. Apparently, in his mind, people dead for hundreds of years are somehow offended at an English word we use today to describe peoples and situations. Yep, and he going to tell you about all these “slurs” every episode. He doesn’t just use straw man assertions, he is the straw man, sans brain and all.

    Too bad he doesn’t even know his subject at all. Or maybe he does, and j... more

  • Geography is Destiny

    If you love detail in an historical podcast, then this is the podcast for you. His walking tours are great, and then in some detail he cites many individuals in the prime of life who suddenly die, all of natural causes, I swear it’s true. The chaos of the early Middle Ages makes for great stories as Charlemagne, who arguably was greater than Napoleon, who made the critical mistake of invading Russia, as a Swedish King before and as Hitler fatally did in 1941. Anyway, Charlemagne’s successors had... more

  • Smarmy, not factual, and extremely offputting

    This is an example of how exciting history content can be turned into track by a supercilious, arrogant, and extremely judge mental host. You won’t make it through a few episodes, unless you are a woke warrior, without nausea. The positive reviews are, I have no doubt, for many woke individuals. For those hungry after real historical continent, you will die of starvation here

  • With the top of the class in history podcasts

    I’m completely binging. Benjamin Jacobs has a great voice, better sense of humor, and a period in history that is a gaping hole if not for him.
