Historians Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook are interrogating the past, and attempting to de-tangle the present. They question the nature of Greatness, why the West no longer has civil wars and whether Richard Nixon was more like Caligula or Claudius. They're distilling the entirety of human history, or, as much as they can fit into about fifty minutes.

1. Hooked on RIH - I can’t get enough of this podcast! I am becoming an addict. I am a bit of a history buff, but I am learning so much from Tom and Dominic. I have a particular interest, however, in why Constantine became a Christian. I know from my Catholic school days that Constantine had a vision or something like that and then adopted Christianity, but certainly there must be more to it than that. Is there an episode which delves into this? I looked through the podcast history, and I don’t find one specifically. Is there an older podcast which expands on this topic?

2. I love history - These two guys do a wonderful job together. They’re funny, knowledgeable and are at their best when talking about ancient and/or European history. Unfortunately, when they get into American history/politics they seem to only do their research from Wikipedia, CNN or BBC broadcasts. It would be nice if they would put as much work into balanced research as they clearly do in their other work. By the way I especially liked the episodes related to the World Cup countries. Very nicely done. By the way, I’m a big fan of Tom Holland‘s book, “dominion“.

3. Don’t subscribe to the Rest Is History Club with Apple Podcasts - I love this podcast and subscribed to The Rest Is History Club using the Apple Podcasts app. I remember hearing that you can’t get the information you need to join the chat community through the Apple podcast app, but you can get it by sending an email to The Rest Is History Club. I sent one email weeks ago and another one a couple of weeks ago and have not received a response. I believe that there is another way to subscribe. I enjoy how much Dom and Tom talk about their family vacations. I’m jealous of all the cool places they visit. Bonus episodes that include what-I-did-during-my-vacation segments could be named “The Rest Is Holiday.” I’d like to see an episode on the rise and fall of communism. No countries were communist in and then more and more countries went communist and then the number of communist countries dwindled to a handful. I couldn’t find the high water mark of communism on the web. I remember growing up that communism felt like a real threat to the US. There must have been a year when it reached a peak. I’d like to know when that was, what caused communism to grow and what led it to shrink. - Dominicus Hollandius

4. Brilliant! (said as in the classic Guinness beer advertisement) - One of the best history podcasts on iTunes! I'm going through all of them right now!! One caveat. The "Classics" episode with Mary Beard. I can't believe how unlistenable this was with Mary Beard's constant stammering, stuttering, stumbling and spluttering over her words!!! Just split it out and answer the questions!! JEEZ. We get it, you're smart and clever but this constant searching for the ultimate word or answer was BRUTAL!! She was so bad that it effected Tom Holland's speech pattern!! Then I wasn't sure if it was sarcasm but he finishes the interview with "Mary beard, you are so eloquent"!!! No SHE WAS NOT!!! Note to self: never listen to Mary Beard's audio books with her as the reader!! Love all the other subjects/podcasts so far!!

5. Why are there less episodes? - I started a subscription and don’t see any new episodes all week. Also, I tried to listen to a recent episode that I had not finished and am getting the message that ‘it is not available’. I will consider unsubscribing if these issues are not addressed.

6. Rationalizing slavery for Spanish - Kinda sad you try and rationalize the Spanish enslaving people and saying they didn’t want to do it and they did it out of necessity and that the Catholic Church by their standard is against the idea of slavery when they were the biggest perpetrators of oppression and slavery out of anyone in recent history…… just sad to try and brainwash people because of personal feelings.
2023-02-28

7. Very listenable - I was searching for a podcast about Empress Theodora that wasn’t full of ear searing profanity and thankfully after several unfortunate choices of podcasts I found this. All three podcasts about Justinian and Theodora were intelligent and enjoyable to listen to. Thanks for the great history lessons! Definitely will be checking out more episodes.
2023-02-25

8. Some fact checking needed - In today's episode on Columbus, Dominic Sandbrook and Tom Holland agree that Washington Irving wrote "'Twas The Night Before Christmas". He did not. It was written by Clement Clarke Moore. Granted, this isn't an error that will change the course of history, but it's poor scholarship not to check facts about which you're uncertain, gentlemen.

9. Greatest Pod In The History of Pods! Top Historians! - Can’t wait for more! Just a great conversation, always want more! The best! Time flys listening to this, keep up the good work! Second for John Paul the Great!!!!! Saint Cuthbert the Great???? Gets better every week!!! Love Twitter tournaments! Just keeps getting better and better! A top historians top podcast!!
2023-02-19

10. Love from the US! - I first learned about your podcast as I am a fan of Dan Carlin and Hardcore History and listened to his interview with you two. This is now my second favorite history podcast and am a club member too! I have learned so much and both of you have great perspectives, are great story tellers and can be hilarious! A true gem.
2023-02-09

11. Why Can’t All History Teachers Be as Good as These Guys Are? - We’d all be historians if our high school and university professors were as funny, entertaining, and knowledgeable as Tom and Dominic are. I came to the podcast by way of Tom’s books on Rome, Islam, and the rise of Christianity. Listen, learn, and laugh. What can be better than going deeper into history.
2023-02-06

12. Good and bad - I really enjoyed the first few episodes I listened to, and was looking forward to many enjoyable hours of history not too dumbed down…but then I listened to the “Serbia” episode. The subject matter is one I know a little about, and it made me wonder what mistakes and biases I’m missing in other episodes. Gentlemen, you owe a groveling apology to () the late Prof. Marija Gimbutas, Ph.D, and () women everywhere. You attacked Prof. Gimbutas in the time-hallowed manner of men ridiculing accomplished women in order to eliminate competition. Whether Gimbutas’ ideas were right or wrong , an accomplished scholar deserves better than to be treated as an airhead with feminist fantasies. Not only that, but apparently you did not “update” your research sufficiently to know that many of her once-controversial theories have since been wholly or partially vindicated. Take a look at Prif. David Anthony’s “The Horse, the Wheel, and Language”, published way back in , and other confirmatory publications in the ensuing years.

13. Not a review, necessarily. - I’ve just recently become aware of the podcast, and I’m enjoying it, but I’ve just come to the statues shows, and you commented that statues, plural, of Lincoln had been taken down because his beliefs regarding black people were now viewed as problematic and that’s misleading. One was removed, because it depicted a freed slave kneeling before him, and it was removed because it was considered in bad taste, not because of philosophical purity. There was a second statue that a GOP politician said should be taken down, because a statue of Robert E Lee had been taken down. So, again, not because of philosophical purity, but as a cheap political stunt by a conservation, in defense of a statue of a racist traitor.
2023-02-06

14. Great pod; poor episode management - I generally download and listen to about % of the episodes. Uniformly excellent. Much appreciated. Current practice of adding premium content that can not be deleted or even ‘mark as played’ on iPhone is maddening. No way to get rid of content without signing up for patreon content. Irritating. If you only want premium pay subscribers, say so.
2023-02-01

15. Great topics you cover there… - Thoroughly enjoyed the World Cup countries episodes. (Although, not sure about Dalrymple’s breezy survey of the st Anglo-Afghan war: wasn’t Witkiewicz of Lithuanian origin?) Anyhoo, could you all provide transcripts for the podcast? You two swallow a lot of syllables and talk rapidly, making it hard to follow all that’s said.
2023-01-23

16. I am so sad. - It appears that I can no longer enjoy your podcast despite loving it so much. I am retired, and I live on a fixed income. I do not mind listening to adds. Often, I hear ads from other podcasts that sound interesting. I have purchased several of your books over the months that I have listened, and I was hoping that those purchases counted as support. I realize that the price of your subscription does not seem excessive, but small amounts monthly can add up and take over quickly. I hope that you can find a way for other listeners like me to continue to hear your podcast. Much good luck and success to you both. P Sanders, a listener in Kentucky

The Cold War, Prohibition, the Gold Rush, the Space Race. Every part of your life - the words you speak, the ideas you share - can be traced to our history, but how well do you really know the stories that made America? We'll take you to the events, the times and the people that shaped our nation. And we'll show you how our history affected them, their families and affects you today.

1. Always Wanting More - I love this man’s voice. Lindsay could narrate the phone book(that was pre Internet for you Millennials) and I’d listen to it. I’m so glad that I subscribed to Wondery so that I could catch the episodes as soon as they’re released. I love learning about the history of this country that I never learned in school. Its because I found this show that I’ve started to read more history books.This is the nd show that Ive become a fan of because of the way Lindsay tells a story with re-enactments ,on historical events. Great job! Im a fan for life! I anxiously await each and every episode.
2023-03-22

2. Good production but - Well produced and narrated. Yet this quality is overshadowed by infusions of critical race theory CRT and requisite marxists tones of diversity equity and inclusion DEI that always tag along. Re-writing history through a particular contemporary lens of interpretation unfairly distorts history.
2023-03-22

3. Embarrassingly Wrong About Basic Facts - It’s as if this guy has never even taken a basic American History course. I’ve only listened to a few episodes, and the stuff he gets wrong is so glaring. First, he claims that the Republicans won the House and Senate in . Umm… no. I let that one go and listened to the Aaron Burr episode but had to turn it off after a few minutes when he kept calling Jefferson’s party “the Republicans”. Seriously?! The party was called the Democratic Republican Party aka the Democrats. The Republican Party was not founded until Abraham Lincoln’s era. How in the world does this guy not know that?!
2023-03-15

4. Aaron Burr, Colonial Bad Boy - I’m yo, and all I remember from the history books about Aaron Burr was that he was a traitor. I don’t recall learning anything about him shooting Alexander Hamilton and trying to create a new country. Makes some of our current crazed politicians seem tame. Another excellent podcast series, Lindsay Graham!
2023-03-14

5. Can’t ever wait for the next Episode! - I stumbled upon this about a year ago. I started at Episode and worked my way through. I never wanted it to end! Like another reviewer said, I also wasn’t a big fan of history, but this podcast has really changed my mind! Somehow, I wish there were more episodes than there are! Highly recommend this one!
2023-03-06

6. Confusing - I must say the site is incredible but using it is difficult. I still cannot find the fourth installment episode of Arron Burr. Nor if there even is a fourth? I am a Amazon prime member and was told due to that I could get the site ad free. Cannot find out how to do that? Help, love your site and work outstanding!
2023-03-01

7. Engaging but revisionist - Very engaging style of presenting history. But the bias and revisions to focus on politically liberal perspectives is overdone. I get it - we all want our positions heard and like minded friends identified. This podcast is the START to a conversation. If you’re not interested in educating yourself and others on the rest of the story — the other perspectives and lessons, maybe skip this to avoid perpetuating ignorance.
2023-02-22

8. Great way to learn more about historical moments - Great pod, well researched and put together. You can tell there is a lot of work that goes into this podcast and it shows in the delivery, content, and chosen topics. To all the salty MAGA white people complaining about race being a component in episodes, race has always been a part in history, privilege has allowed certain individuals to ignore it now that they’re faced with it they don’t like it and leave a bad review.
2023-02-16

9. Awesome Podcast - I am a person who hated history in school… as a kid I thought textbook repetition of dates was so boring. However, this podcast is so interesting and really brings history to life through the storytelling aspect, such that you are able to put yourself in the shores of historical events from fascinating perspectives. Well done!
2023-02-12

10. Does history really repeat itself? - Loveeee this podcast!!! Yes go over WW - I think it’s safe to say history is repeating itself, now. Look at the events that took place that led up to WW. Also my uncle Joe served our country and says he remembers the assassination and can tell me as a fact that he had the proof & knowledge of who shot President Kennedy. One of his own.
2023-02-08

11. Fabulously addictive - This has been my ‘back in the office’ podcast since I’ve had to go back to commuting, and I’m completely bummed out that I’ve gotten to the end of the series so far. As an amateur historian, it’s well-researched, the stories he chooses to highlight are engaging, and the podcast is definitely at the top of the list for quality and production values. The voice actors’ reenactment isn’t my favorite but it’s well done and the actors are good so it’s easily palatable. The Gold Rush series has been super fun and informational, and actually got me to subscribe to Wondery - now that it’s over, I’m anxiously awaiting the next season.
2023-02-07

12. So good! - American History Tellers keeps us on the edge of our seats in the car! My year old, Milo, especially loves history and this podcast has led us to have some interesting conversations. His favorite has been season about the Civil War. You should consider doing a season about the Ross/Ridge rivalry in the Cherokee Nation, it makes the Montague and the Capulet rivalry look tame! Keep up the great work!
2023-02-05

13. Does everything have ro be about race? - Another decided shift in the more recent podcasts - you just can’t give us the history of anything without injecting & focusing on race. The Panama Canal was a marvel of brilliant engineering - especially for the time. Harnessing the power of the water, the hollow door construction, the use of a tiny engine to operate the lock doors, and the dozens of choices made, without which, would have made the canal nearly impossible to build. Instead of talking about those things you chose to focus on wage gaps. There’s a reason which you didn’t bother to mention. They couldn’t attract enough Americans to go down there to such a hostile environment for what they were willing to or could afford to pay. Hard to believe that not enough people from MN & MI weren’t willing to take the risk of traveling to Panama, with the heat, humidity and risk of dying from tropical disease! Islanders lived in similar conditions and there were fewer jobs. It wasn’t JUST about race. But this is what it’s like these days - EVERYTHING has to be about skin color.
2023-02-03

14. Shameful Moral Equivocation - I find it indescribable that someone can try to morally equate communism to capitalism?? Capitalism has brought more people out of poverty than any other system of government and communism has killed more?? What a stupid take on history … ALSO! Yet ANOTHER possible great show RUINED by a leftist looney.
2023-01-31

15. Thank you! - Hi Lindsay, I love your podcasts. I especially love this one about American History. It would b great if you could have a follow up conversation with the journalist from the NYT that you interviewed for the last episode of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire series. It would be really interesting because when you spoke to him it was the year before the pandemic began. Since then, as I’m sure you know, Amazon and Starbucks workers in some locations have unionized. It would be really fascinating to hear what the journalist would say now about the labor movement and unions in the US. Thank you for your hard work and dedication! I look forward to new seasons! Shannon, a Union Steward!
2023-01-29

16. More voice actors please - Your podcast is very engaging and I am able to learn more about our American history than in high school. However, having voice actors such as Robbie Daymond reenact the events proves more engaging in more episodes. This would definitely take a load off your hands while you narrate the series. I hope you appreciate my input.
2023-01-26

17. Incredible! - This podcast in incredible and totally “ear-pleasing!” From the voices, noises, etc! I have listened to this podcast for years and just started listening with my earphones in! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this to anyone, you can hear voices from both sides of your body as well as noises! It literally transforms you into the story! This podcast makes history fun for everyone!
2023-01-25

18. Love love love this!! - Everything about American History Tellers is amazing! I feel like I’m transported right into the story. I love the sound of his voice, the music, the content of information, and the way in which the story is told- it’s just perfect! He makes history exciting and captivating. I’ve listed to almost every season so far and I crave MORE!! Thank you and keep doing what you’re doing.
2023-01-20

19. It’s “Sierra Nevada,” not “Nevahda.” - You pronounced “Nisenan” correctly but couldn’t be bothered to learn the correct pronunciation for “Nevada”?!?!?! Take some time to talk to locals and read primary sources, please. You completely skipped over James Marshall’s actual words, the contributions of Jenny Wimmer (the only woman present at the gold discovery), and missed the part that Sutter never owned the land where the mill was. He had a lease with the Yalesumney which was invalidated in the US occupation of . Also Sam Brannen never bought the gold he displayed in San Francisco. He used his position as an elder in the Mormon church to take a tithe from the miners at Mormon Island on the American River. Also California was never a proper territory. It was enemy-occupied land for years and months. Then just as Minerva was not born but sprang fully formed out of the brain of Jupiter, California skipped territorial status and became a state, which is why Minerva is on our seal. I’ll hang up and unsubscribe from this podcast now. Getting this many facts wrong about “our history” is just disrespectful.
2023-01-20

20. The best podcast I could ask for - I’ve not only learned from this podcast, but have enjoyed it so much. I never knew history could be so cool and exciting. I like that this podcast shows Americas success and failure. It makes me really appreciate our country more and be proud to be an American citizen
2023-01-17

21. Raises more questions! - Love this podcast…I learn new things and also end up wondering more about topics I’d never considered. The latest example is how a few lines in the Assassinations episodes about the lack of Secret Service for presidents have made me curious about that agency’s origins generally. Just another example of how this podcast keeps history nerds like me engaged. Thanks for such great content!

Every scandal begins with a lie. But the truth will come out. And then comes the fallout and the outrage. Scandals have shaped America since its founding. From business and politics to sports and society, we look on aghast as corruption, deceit and ambition bring down heroes and celebrities, politicians and moguls. And when the dust finally settles, we’re left to wonder: how did this happen? Where did they trip up, and who is to blame? From the creators of American History Tellers, Business W...

1. You are better than that Lindsay - I have listened to you from day one, years ago, and this podcast is one of my favorite. I have recommended you to many and no one has ever come back to me saying anything negative. I have a pretty good idea how you lean politically, but I never cared because you have always been moderate and unbiased in your story telling. Sadly, you finally misstepped with your latest guest on Oklahoma City Bombing. That guy was exactly the problem we have today and the extreme polarization we have. In his own narcissism he didn’t even realize he was complaining about himself. I expect better of you Mr. Graham and I am confident you will cover everyone’s view point fairly going forward like you always have. I just assume this is a bump in the road and a learning experience going forward. You still earn your stars... please keep it that way. Thank you.
2023-03-24

2. Thanks but no thanks! - You are a talented podcast host and I’ve always enjoyed both your scandal and history shows, but your last guest with leftie loosie Barrett was enough to send me out the door. Why would you give that ding dong a platform to spew his rhetoric? Please do yourself a favor and find more moderate guests in the future.
2023-03-23

3. Man, it would have been great except… - I have listened for a long time, and normally enjoy the show. This last season could have been one of the best yet, until the last episode. That last episode with one of the most left leaning “authors” completely obliterated any good I could say about the previous four episodes. Stop bringing full left or liberal people to interview or comment. Try to be more moderate, and have people with a more balanced approach to commentary. It is so odd that a season about the divisiveness in the country, was followed up by an interview with someone that fuels that division by trade. If not, you will soon be alienating long time listeners.
2023-03-19

4. Season - “Every Scandal begins with a lie.” This is the start of the tease for this program. The Oklahoma Bombing was a horrific tragedy. This series is quite good at telling the story but slides into the narrative the government has pushed. Then interviews “experts” with farther left leaning views. I challenge the producers to do series’s on the Waco Texas standoff, and the Ruby Ridge standoff.
2023-03-14

5. Long time listener - Sadly I’ve decided to move on to something less polarizing. Didn’t expect to see that here. Your last interview was just another excuse to blame half the country for the acts of one evil minded criminal. We go from the bombing of the Murrow Federal building to vaccine and mask skeptics. Keep it up, as my mother would say. Alienate more of your listeners. Certainly you are free to do that just as I am free to stop listening.
2023-03-14

6. Entertaining, Great Time Passer - This podcast is very entertaining. It includes theatrical representations throughout the podcast, and includes great music as well. I listen to this when doing chores, or whenever I have time on my plate. I would definitely recommend this podcast to anyone who is fascinated by American history.
2023-03-02

7. White racism isn’t the answer for everything. No matter how much you want it to be. - I’ve listened to this show since it started. About a year ago every episode started to be typical of every other woke podcast. It used to be a good show before the host would go out of his way to try to shove white racism into every episode. Im done with this podcast and all the other podcasts affiliated with wondery. I’d give zero stars if possible.
2023-02-24

8. No more encores please - Most of the scandals covered are informative and interesting, but there are far too many encore episodes that I have to click ‘mark as played’ so they don’t show up on my ‘unplayed’ section. I’ve been waiting for new episodes for over a month now, it’s getting pretty old to have to wait and then see that it’s yet another encore episode. I listen to a lot of podcasts that have a new episode every week, and have not had a repeat episode yet, so it’s not a difficult thing to accomplish in getting a new episode out each week. I’m getting pretty close to deleting this podcast from my library.
2023-02-23

9. Exxon Valdez - This event occurred on my birthday in , so I remember it well. I was years old. I think of it every year on my birthday sadly. Thank you for updating what really happened. Jeff Curtis, Hays, KS In episode of the Tim McVae OKC story, you mentioned that the FBI was in Junction City, KS searching all the motels along the I- corridor. Junction City is on I-.
2023-02-18

10. I challenge you - Great show, really! I was young or not even born for most of the stories and I’ve learned a lot. You clearly lean one way though, so I offer you this challenge: Do a season on the attack of our Diplomatic Compound on --. Tell the story of the failure of the State and Defense department, how help was not sent, how Americans died and how the Obama Administration lied about it being about a “video” and the atrocious job and attempted cover up by your blessed Clintons. I challenge you………..
2023-02-18

11. A Mixed Review - I like this format of important events in history being told in story form. However, having just binged the British Scandal podcasts it’s impossible not to compare. The British one is far better even though they are both produced by Wondery and use the same format. The British one has a male and female host and they take turns on the stories but check in with each other in an entertaining way during the show. They are funny but not giggling and they don't have too much banter. They do a stellar job with the multiple voices for the different characters.And the music is easier for my ears. Great format for both though.
2023-02-12

12. You’ve got to be kidding.... - Now one of the most unique events of US history is racist and homophobic?? Lol This would be something someone would make up and sell as satire yet this is how dumbed down our society has become. This type of ridiculous race-baiting would be hilarious if it wasn’t so detrimental to the lives of so many minorities in this country who can no longer do anything for themselves because they are so convinced that every aspect of society is stacked against them and without massa Schumer, massa Pelosi, and massa Biden they are helpless. Slavery absolutely exists in this country only now the slave owners are politicians and charlatans that profit off the racial grievance industry.
2023-02-08

13. Captivating podcast, wonderful host - This show is excellent across the board; from the research and writing to host and audio editing. I learn so much and find myself captivated by each episode. Lindsay Graham is a delight to listen to. His narration is perfect and engaging, I love listening to all the podcasts he hosts. Thank you to all the team for producing this top quality show!
2023-01-19

14. Solid, educational, great storytelling. - One criticism, I really dislike the Encores. If you need to skip a season, skip a season, or just tell me to go re-listen to the old season…. But to make me Mark every episode “Played” just to get it off my Unplayed list when I don’t want to replay it is ridiculous. It’s already hard enough to organize podcasts. Yours isn’t the only one on the block.
2023-01-01

15. Great Storytelling! - I am so glad I found this podcast! It was advertised in another pod I was listening to and I am hooked. Lindsay is a great storyteller and these stories are so important to our history! There’s no slant or lean. The story is told and the listener can form their own opinions. Love it!
2022-12-19

16. Can’t Take More - The topics are excellent and interesting. But after listening to several scandals, the repetition and overdramatizing are driving me nuts. (We spent a fair amount of time on the physical collapse of the lawyer in the DuPont series and the strain to his family, and then simply dropped it to repeat how much was riding on each court hearing.) It really is a promising subject matter, but I’m done.
2022-12-17

17. Story telling at its best! - I am hooked to this podcast! Not only have I learned a great deal about some of the greatest American scandals of all time, but I’ve enjoyed the story telling. It’s so addicting that I can’t stop listening. I find myself binge listening to see what happens next. I highly recommend this podcast!
2022-12-12

18. Excellent, informative, and always interesting US History podcast with stellar narration - I can’t say enough about Graham and his cadence. This has been my go to bedtime/wind down podcast for over a year now. No hyperbole or host-inserted political opinions. Just straight up fascinating, detailed real stories. I have yet to find one comparable, aside from his other shows. Thank you sir!

Sarah is a journalist obsessed with the past. Every week she reconsiders a person or event that's been miscast in the public imagination.

1. I love this podcast so much that I am a Patron - This is, hands down, my favorite podcast. It's the only one I'll regularly listen to and find something new to think about. I love the deep dive format about a wide variety of topics. Sarah and her guests research their topics deeply while going down paths that also tickle my weird brain. The conversational tone between intelligent people means that they're not speaking down to the audience, all while sprinkling clever turns of phrase and unique ideas like wildflower seeds. What takes it over the top is Sarah's active kindness, brave vulnerability, and compulsion to understand the humanity that drives people to the situations and decisions they make has played a huge part of my emotional healing. I'm learning to be kinder to myself through her podcasts and conversations with such smart people. It's beautiful and I'm thankful for such a special work of art that has brought new ideas of emotional bravery into my world.
2023-03-24

2. Sarah Marshall is Everything - This podcast has been my favorite for awhile now. Sarah Marshall is clever, witty, and just down right intelligent. Her perspective is unique yet always makes sense in the end even if I don’t always completely agree I always appreciate what she has to say. I also appreciate her retelling of events that captured America in a way that it’s be hard to hear anywhere else. Her research is incredible and you can truly tell how much she cares about topic. I wish I had her brain!! I’m always entertained, laughing out loud, and completely captivated! If you don’t mind and respect someone else having a different opinion or hot take and are open minded to having your world view changed you will Love this podcast!
2023-03-17

3. Vivarium: millennial cannibalization - Sarah’s refreshing commentary is exactly what years old like me wants. It’s so soothing & entertaining to hear Sarah’s voice & giggling. So sexy. Reminds me of party days at Chico State. Profanity is no problem for me. When my parents mention Fleetwood Mac, OJ Simpson, Martha Stewart, Karen Carpenter, I tune them out. What do they know? I don’t trust old people. I trust social influencers to explain historical events. It doesn’t matter if they rewrite history or don’t fact check as long as they’re consistent. God, truth & morality don’t exist in our postmodern world. Why should they? Ends justify the meanies.

4. Soothingly sympathetic - Like many reviews I find YAWA a special, momentary salve for the loneliness, uncertainty, and human misunderstanding gripping my world and likely many others. This podcast hits my exact age group () and I enjoy deeply relating to both hosts in different ways as a cishet man. The sympathy the hosts show in diving into some of the less understood pop-culture moments of our lives serves as a good reminder to be kind to others and to keep an open mind. Surprisingly, it was the Jessica Simpson series that got me into this podcast. Hearing Sarah’s warm and buzzy (and sexy if I can add) timbre of voice, in detail, lay out a story I thought I knew was almost revelatory.

5. Show Has Lost Its Personality - This used to be my favorite podcast. I adore Sarah, but this show just isn’t the same without Michael. I was hoping Sarah just needed to find her footing without him, but it’s clear this show will never be as good as it was. I love Sarah on You Are Good, but the topics she’s doing here and the guest hosts she’s had on are so painfully BORING. It’s like an SNL parody of an NPR broadcast. It’s time for better guests, better topics or just time to mercifully end it.
2023-03-07

6. Used to be SO good - Since Michael Hobbes left, it has become increasingly difficult to listen to this. In the place of his really smart and funny commentary you have basic boring snark from Sarah Marshall. She’s just… not that smart, doesn’t have particularly interesting ideas, and that’s why this podcast is almost never very good, except when she has a really amazing guest who can carry the show (like the one on preppy clothes). Most of the time she’s saying something not that funny, that doesn’t make much sense, or is super obvious, and then laughing as if she’s just said the most brillant funny quirky thing ever.
2023-03-04

7. Thematically Uneven - Love the research, love many of the cohosts, and LOVE most of the subject matter. However, lately I’m not getting what I’m “wrong about” with a lot of the subjects. For instance, Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours - the episode was just a semi-deep-dive into the facts that most people familiar with the subject already know. It was interesting, and not at all surprising. I’m currently listening to the Baby Jessica episode and it’s the same thing - anyone who’s had a brush with the subject will not learn anything contrary to the facts, though may learn about media coverage and public fascination with involuntarily trapped people. Perhaps this new direction for the podcast should be renamed “Yes And” or something?
2023-03-03

8. Too many side conversations - I loved this podcast when Michael cohosted. I switched jobs and couldn’t keep up with podcasts. I am now able to listen at my new job and imagine my surprise when I learned Michael was no longer a cohost. I chose the Karen Carpenter episodes because I am intrigued by her. The first episode was horrible. I keep skipping through it because the hosts kept having side conversations about topics that had nothing to do with Karen. I also felt a lot of the conversation was about the what ifs pertaining to Karen. It’s ridiculous to try and second guess the decisions someone made. It’s also ridiculous to guess what you think Karen would still be doing if she were still alive. Suggesting she’d be on social media, etc. I thought the second episode would get better but it didn’t. I cannot finish it. It’s sad because I loved this podcast before. There’s no structure. Sure things would get off topic with Michael but it’s beyond ridiculous now.
2023-03-02

9. The obnoxious voice makes it hard to enjoy - I like the topics and sometimes I learn something new. I don’t mind the politics like some do. But I can barely stand Sarah’s nasal, grating, self-important tone, singsongy judgy cadence and her weird constant laugh, which usually occurs at unfunny, inappropriate times after she says something she deems so witty or insightful. And all of this is done way too close to the mic. Mainly her tone just comes across as self-important and know-it-all condescension. It makes a somewhat interesting pod a little unlikable. So, this podcast is usually the one I turn to when I’ve already listened to all my favs.
2023-03-02

10. This explains my whole childhood - I have absolutely loved almost every single episode of You’re Wrong About. I am around Sarah‘s age and so all of these events that they talked about on the show are also ones that I remember from my childhood. It’s a neat experience to go back as an adult and revisit some of these things, and truly understand what was happening in a way that no one seemed to at the time. It’s well researched, and entertaining to listen to. One star for capitalism and five for the podcast. Great job, Sarah!
2023-03-01

11. Sometimes Alienating - Generally enjoy this podcast. But as a POC and immigrant, I find the host and guests’ perspective on parenting and families to be alienating. Not surprising that your standard POV for parenting and families is white and western. But, as a podcast that seems to reach for “wokeness,” perhaps recognize that.
2023-02-28

12. Thoughtful and Engaging - I love this show. I was a bit worried when Michael Hobbes left, but Sarah and her wonderful guests are such a pleasure to listen to. I’ve loved this show for a while, but the recent episodes made me write this review (e.g., Chris McCandless). Keep up the good work, Sarah Marshall!
2023-02-28

13. And so it ends… - This used to be one of my top podcasts, even after Michael left. But I’ve increasingly stretched the time between listening to new episodes for months, and finally reached the end. The end for me, that is. I forced myself to keep listening to several past episodes that were difficult to get through, but after minutes of the first Karen Carpenter episode, I am calling it quits. It actually took me over an hour to get to minute , as Sarah and her producer went on so many painfully boring and irrelevant tangents that I constantly had to skip back seconds after realizing I didn’t know what was going on. I still don’t really know what I listened to - it’s actually kind of incredible. (I wasn’t doing anything else that required focus, merely cleaning on a quiet Sunday.) I used to be enraptured by each episode, so it saddens me that it has become impossible to truly take in regardless of my interest on the subject being discussed. This podcast is now a prime example of mindless drivel (I hate to sound so mean and hope it is clear that I enjoyed Sarah’s work before so in no way am I attacking her personality, which I still like!). I won’t pretend to know how or why the show went off the rails, but I hope Sarah is able to get it back to the quality production it used to be. I doubt I’ll give it a fifth chance, however.
2023-02-26

14. Has potential - At moments during the podcast I believe it’s star worthy, then the hosts go off to another subject that makes it confusing and difficult to follow. Like including names that aren’t part of the subject. I am interested in the Ann Hathaway episode but not willing to pay for it until the hosts are better organized with telling the story. Definitely has great potential!
2023-02-26

15. Great Podcast - I found the podcast extremely informative. The research done to produce the episodes must be extensive. I appreciate the hosts’ and producer’s work. My only small critique would be in the “Baby Jessica” episode you mentioned Fox News and spoke of it in a negative light. It felt kind of political. The episode was great overall but it would be nice not to have politics involved. With that being said. Thanks for the awesome content.
2023-02-26

16. All time favorite podcast - Sarah Marshall, thank you for this fantastic work. I have listened to almost every episode and have learned so much! As a fellow millennial, you have explained so many things about the world that I sort of understood in fuzzy way, but you connect the dots, putting it in such eloquent, perfect words and cultural framing that just constantly has me screaming “YES. YES EXACTLY, THANK YOU!!” You and your guests also manage to be funny, witty, and entertaining even when talking about pretty grim stuff, no small feat. I find your dry sense of humor and delivery hilarious. I’m a proud Patreon supporter and will continue to tell anyone who will listen how epically great and unique and fascinating this show is. Please keep it up!
2023-02-24

17. I come to this show for a dose of reality - The way Sarah shares details and dissects various topics brings so much humanity to these stories. It somehow brings me so much comfort to listen to some troubling stories that are told in a way that sheds light on what really happened and leaves room for the fact that we’ll never know the whole story … added humor and levity and humanity just resets my mood every time I listen. Also, Sarah, the intro edits of your one-liners that somehow relate to the entire episode are one of the best pieces of commentary/comedy I’ve ever heard. I need them all stitched together in some type of crazy montage. Thanks!!
2023-02-21

18. Critical thinking? - This podcast looked interesting and I enjoyed the one on the Andes but I didn’t get very far with the baby Jessica episode. The Host is so stuck in her group think that when discussingThe things she needed to worry about regarding her children she listed real dangers as school shootings, climate change, and super Covid. Statistically the risk of a child being shot in school or a child dying/getting sick from super Covid is almost nonexistent. This is not my opinion, this is a fact that can be backed up by data. But when a brain is only exposed to like minded media who hyper focus on the same issues and thoughts, it will blindly accept those assumptions as real dangers, missing far greater risks. The brain has to understand how to research diverse sources and not be misled when someone with an agenda analyzes data for you, hand picks a few numbers and tells you what to think. This takes research skills, critical thinking skills, AND an open mind. Interesting she didn’t mention substance abuse, (including marijuana abuse) or the myriad of problems caused by social media.
2023-02-21

19. I adore this show. - I’ve finally subscribed to the pay version and I’m sorry it’s taken me this long but I am so, so poor. Sarah, I feel like we are such similar people (i’d love to make a podcast with you called Newsies and Neuroses) and the guests you’ve had since Michael moved to his downtown apartment haven’t let us down at all. I was about to list a few guests I’ve particularly loved but I find myself adding more and more names. Thank you for this podcast. It, along with You Are Good, has sheltered me through so many emotional thunderstorms.
2023-02-18

20. Great content but please fix the mouth sounds! - I can’t listen if Sarah’s mic is so close to her mouth that I can hear the texture of her saliva. I say this as a fan, with all the compassion in the world. Please, for the love of all that is good, please figure this issue out. Different mic setup, post production plugins, something. I love you, but there are a good /-/ of the shows that are unlistenable because of it.
2023-02-15

21. Love Sarah, miss Mike, miss me with the other guests - I want to preface this with saying I love this show. I think Sarah is great. I will say though, something was lost when Michael left. The guests are knowledgeable, but the interactions usually feel less familiar and are frankly just less fun to listen to. To make the most engaging show, IMO Sarah needs a constant presence that has a little bit of edge to it. This would balance out her earnestness, because you do kind of feel hit over the head with it sometimes. It’s still informative and most importantly- thought provoking. There are people who leave reviews and complain about the information. I would recommend: . Listen to it . Use it as a thought provoker, . Do your own research,keeping the concepts in mind.

In "Hardcore History" journalist and broadcaster Dan Carlin takes his "Martian", unorthodox way of thinking and applies it to the past. Was Alexander the Great as bad a person as Adolf Hitler? What would Apaches with modern weapons be like? Will our modern civilization ever fall like civilizations from past eras? This isn't academic history (and Carlin isn't a historian) but the podcast's unique blend of high drama, masterful narration and Twilight Zone-style twists has entertained millions of l...

Comments

1. Biased opinions ruin this - Yeses ago, I thought this was a decent podcast that I would tune into occasional. The issue is when you delve into some of the claims he talks about, you realize he’s littering it with his own personal bias and opinions. I can’t stand his voice and his forced over dramatics. People shouldn’t take what he says as factual. He’s interjecting his own narrative.
2023-03-09

2. Love this podcast - Love listening to these while I’m deer pig squirrel hunting. Spent many hours enjoying these. Only have two left before I jump on the pay ones on his website. I post these on Facebook twitter TruthSocial telling people how good they are. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into them
2023-02-02

3. Historetainment - He’s definitely got some questionable hot takes presented as fact. It’s entertainment more than history. What I find harmful is the parallels he draws to more current history using a culturally biased POV. With a very faint disclaimer, “I’m not a historian.” Reminds me of the skit, “I’m just a caveman.”
2023-01-23

4. Easily the best podcast available - Not much more to say than that. Every podcast has me wanting to hear more. If Dan Carlin would have been my history teacher in school I would have gone to college and majored in history. Best narrator, best podcast, this is the gold standard. All the people who gave stars because they were offended are idiots who seek offense.
2023-01-17

5. Loving it! - Thank you for doing a new Thor’s Angels! I’ve listened to the original and extra several times over. No one brings history to life quite like Dan Carlin. I really enjoy the first hand accounts and the small threads that are followed to give life to the bigger picture. I hope there will be more like this in the future, of more civilizations and parts of the world.
2023-01-16

6. Maybe the greatest podcast ever - I’ve listened to dozens of podcasts over the last years on dozens of subjects but Hardcore History is likely the greatest of them all in any genre. The depth, breadth, & intensity of every episode is unlike anything in this medium. Every episode is a masterpiece (that’s why they take - months) & well worth the huge time commitment to listen to. If you weren’t into history in school or you find history completely dull and/or pointless, this is the podcast for you. Long live DC!
2023-01-15

7. stars with an asterisk - In Hardcore History released episodes in January, April, August, and December. It’s and we got an episode in January, now we are in October and still nothing. So you will love the content and then be frustrated that this show barley exists now. I might seriously be dead by the time the next episode is up. This is a star podcast moving at star speed. Came back to confirm. They did podcast in and podcast in . Tectonic plates move faster than the podcast production
2023-01-03

8. Best of the best - Dan’s conversational approach allows the reader to enjoy his stories as if told to you by a friend sitting next to you at the bar. His knowledge and humility are both omnipresent and amusing, as you feel blessed to simply be included in the conversation. The only downside to his podcast is that there are not enough to enjoy, so I find myself listening to the same ones again and again. But where others suffer from mundane, repetitive and regurgitative narratives, Dan’s reveal nuances upon each new listen. Note: Dan’s voice when reciting quotation might be my favorite to impersonate, and I find myself doing so often, although poorly.
2023-01-03

9. King of Kings - I just finished listening to the episode Kings of Kings, about Cyrus the Great, for probably the sixth time. It is always wonderful and I learn different things every re-listen. I love Cyrus and the ancient Persian Empire. HCH does a wonderful job making this history approachable and interesting. It’s a long wait for every episode to drop but always worth the wait.
2022-12-26

10. Depends on Your Tolerance for His Speech Quirks - The content of Carlin's podcasts is excellent. I'd have given a five-star rating, but certain of his speech quirks cause me to have to take a break from each episode for a few days. It is true that his delivery is overdramatic, but that is not what puts me off. Instead, after what must be at least to uses of "right? " and "sort of" or "kind of" per two hours or so, this becomes so annoying that I can no longer listen. Only the quality of the content makes it worth suffering through this until I again reach the limits of my tolerance.
2022-12-12

11. Hardcore History is Amazing - Purchase his old podcasts! Wrath of the khans, death throws of the republic, ghost of the ostfront, after you’ve listened to the free ones. I have listed to each of his episodes numerous times. This is by far the best podcast I’ve listened to and I’m obsessed with podcasts. This isn’t just for history lovers, though listening to it might well turn one into a history lover. Such is the case with everyone I’ve shown this podcast to.
2022-12-08

12. Good at performance and creating emotion but… - The performance is well done but it’s definitely a performance. I was expecting less a dramatized performance and a more factual presentation of history. That’s not what this is. This podcast is not academic, it’s dramatic and so it’s hard to differentiate between the performers worldview and the facts he’s reporting. I found I was constantly trying to separate the two and struggling to have my own thoughts. I would not recommend this podcast if your a free thinking person. I would recommend it if you want to feel confident in your preconceived opinion as long as they align with the performers.
2022-12-06

13. Apologist Nightmare - I listened to several episodes, I really wanted to give it a chance, since it was highly recommended- but I just couldn’t get past the continual justification of atrocities because “it was the norm.” I realize that he is making an honest effort, I’d give credit in circumstances when this is true, but most of the time he was outright wrong, and ignoring significant political and social events in the times in question. There is no attribution to any research for his arguments, be it primary, secondary, physical, or academic research at all, making the whole thing come across as what is is… a privileged white guy talking about history through his perspective for the same audience with a sickeningly apologist tint. I don’t think Carlin is intending to be oblivious, his is just too blinded by his world view to describe history in any other way.
2022-11-24

14. History with the Right Filter - Dan says he’s not a historian “but a fan of history” constantly but a more accurate statement to ME would be that he’s a historian without the restrictions of a specific institution. He gives you the very specific, and much needed, ‘human view’ of history. Something that very few academic history classes have provided ME PERSONALLY. I say that to say this; Dan Carlin has the research, interest, and curiosity to explore historical topics through a specifically human Lens and I think that is neat and exactly what I want from my historical story teller.
2022-11-22

15. Dan Carlin - Dan Carlin uses a new medium to explore topics from ancient history to th century industrialized warfare uncovering the human condition behind the politics and context of history of the times using metaphors and analogy to give listeners a reference point sometimes he meander but occasionally he gets going on a thread that either shocks or informs you would recommend
2022-11-22

16. Honest opinions - For all of those who want some sort of study guide you aren’t going to find that here, this is a show where you can expect to hear one man’s views and opinions of historical topics and he does his best to look at topic from different perspectives. If you are expecting him to be some perfect impartial historian then you obviously haven’t listened to him say on multiple occasions “ I am not a historian”, I may not always agree with his views on a topic but I enjoy listening anyway. It’s good to hear other views on subject, it helps broaden your understanding and make you a more well rounded person, for those who hate on Dan for his point of view you can go live your life in your narrow little world but for me I like growing intellectually and this is a very entertaining way to do it.

Bailey Sarian, a professional makeup artist & true crime connoisseur, is taking her expertise from her popular YouTube series, Murder, Mystery & Makeup, and expanding into the podcast world with Dark History! Each week, she will explore the chilling stories of the dark past from US and World History that they don't teach you in school!

Release date: 2023-03-15

Comments

1. Downhill disappointment - I used to really enjoy Bailey’s videos & content when she first started compared to other YouTubers. Recently I have became more fond of other podcasts who are much less obnoxious. I miss your old contents personality, no offense. Just seems like you’re trying too hard now. Between the “jokes/puns”, the unnecessary noise making and talking to your mannequin has really dread me to continue listening. Hope you make new episodes with a new perspective and really take your audiences recommendations into consideration.
2023-03-11

2. Learn and Laugh! - I’m new here and didn’t watch/listen on YouTube. I love history and the dark or macabre lol and Bailey delivers a perfect marriage of both! Super entertaining and I didn’t realize this but she’s really funny. And it seems like she does a lot of research and that’s appreciated. The only thing-and I’m sure it’ll be fixed-the editing needs work. When I first started binging, I kept thinking my phone switched to different episodes bc of the cutting. Other then that, this girl is the best!!!
2023-03-04

3. Love the show! - I love Dark History, I use the Thomas Edison episode in my history of IBEW class. The information is so interesting and Bailey Sarian has a great sense of humor and she has a bubbly voice to contrast the effed up content. I love the variety of topics, not just the strange things I like, but also the history I THOUGHT would be boring. Unfortunately there are far too many ad breaks to make this fun to work with and the ads are so much louder than the podcast, making it difficult to listen to before bed. Edited to add: Apple music podcast app has added surprise advertisements after the last break. ETA: Bailey read ads are the perfect volume and I truly appreciate her for this.
2023-03-02

4. Her slurping, so CRINGE - Losing listeners! Please stop SLURPING, OMG. For real, hearing her slurp at least times in one episode made me nauseous. I don’t understand why she keeps doing this. It’s a real shame too because this show could be really great if it wasn’t for this obnoxious sound she keeps making randomly throughout the show.
2023-03-01

5. Decreasing Quality - This show had much better content in Season . There is an occasional good episode in Season , but much less enjoyable. Bailey is spreading some misinformation and the slurping is so obnoxious. The ads don’t bother me, everybody producing the podcast has to make money and we’re not paying for these episodes, so I think some of those complaints aren’t valid.
2023-02-22

6. From Youtube to Podcatsts - Ive been watching Bailey for a while now and I listen to her channels when I go to bed at night she keeps my mind busy listening vs busy thinking so its easier to fall asleep. These podcasts are a godsend during the day I watch her YT while doing my own makeup, nighttime its these Podcasts
2023-01-27

7. Great podcast but please stop the slurping - I love Bailey Sarian, great story teller and making the history relatable. But lord the slurping in the most recent episodes has made me nauseous. I want to give stars but the slurping… I need a trigger warning before the sound. I have misophonia and I cannot emphasize how terrible the slurping is.
2022-12-21

8. NATIVE DEODORANT THIS IS NOT AN AD - Bailey!! please look into Sea Salt & Cedar by native deodorant! it is the only all natural deodorant scent that completely covers up my smell! definitely seems like a you scent very musky this is also coming from a person who breaks into bad blistery rashes when i use non natural deodorants and do not even get me started on antiperspirant… I’m also someone who has hyperhidrosis and this has been the only natural deodorant that i’ve truly loved for a multitude of reasons. I’ll be honest i just went years without it but now i can’t live without putting it on once in the morning and once at night

Join Holly and Tracy as they bring you the greatest and strangest Stuff You Missed In History Class in this podcast by iHeartRadio.

Release date: 2023-03-25

Comments

1. Always enlightening and delightful! - After listening to this show for nearly years now, I still listen to every new episode right when it comes out (and it never disappoints!). It’s informational and well-researched, but Holly and Tracy always add in their own voice and flair to keep things engaging. They also cover a very wide range of topics, so it’s a great way to find out about topics/events/people I never would have thought to explore myself. Even the episodes I think I won’t be interested in end up being fascinating!
2023-03-24

2. Interesting topics , boring/fast presentation - They’re essentially just taking turns speedily reading from what sounds like encyclopedia articles. Not conversational at all. Perhaps slow down a bit and change to longer format as? I suppose if you just want a quick / boring overview on a topic then this show is for you .
2023-03-11

3. Great content, way too many ads - I’ve been listening to this show for years, and it lives up to its name. I’ve learned so much about history that I definitely didn’t learn in school! However, there are just sooo many ads that it makes it difficult to really dig into any given topic. I understand that ads are necessary for making this show happen, but the amount of ads is just too, too much. Some of the ads are super loud and annoying as well, and it totally takes me out of the story. Overall, the ads are interfering with the show’s quality and I wish there were a little less ad breaks.
2023-02-24

4. I used to be - I am probably the same age as these hosts, but listening to them instantly transports me back to high school and being in that really cool English teacher or Latin teacher’s class (I was bored by history back then) and being mesmerized by how smart some people are and how cool the world can be. I have a dismissive avoidant attachment style, but I find myself craving the sonic company of this podcast often.
2023-02-10

5. So glad I uncovered UNEARTHED - I’m a huge new fan of you fun and very interesting ladies. I’m going back over your episodes starting with the UNEARTHED!! I’m learning a very good bunch of History in a way I could never have imagined. I always loved being in college, I’m a great test taker, but this information, I will remember longer than it took to pass a test. I am finally learning history. My father would have been proud. Thanks for a great podcast and unique product.
2023-02-07

6. I love this podcast - I love this podcast and listen to everyone of them. It’s really cool to learn something new every week. One of my favorite mini series is unearthed. I would recommend this podcast to anyone who likes history and just learning About this in general. Thank you for this amazing podcast and I love learning more than just history each week!
2023-01-28

7. My OG podcast - SYMIHC was the first podcast I subscribed to when I started listening to podcasts and it is one of the only ones that I still listen to every episode. Holly and Tracy feel like friends and always make the subjects interesting, even if it’s something I don’t think I will care for. Love this podcast and have learned SO MUCH from listening.
2023-01-25

8. Amazing!! - When a new episode comes out I am sure to listen ASAP!! Even if the topic is not very interesting the hosts Tracy and Holly make it VERY Interesting. If you like history this is the perfect podcast! Episodes are always and I mean always AMAZING Keep it up!!! The extensive research makes it even BETTER! One of my favorite Podcasts!
2023-01-23

9. How About Some Hosts Who Aren’t Awful? - I’ve tried to listen to this podcast dozens of times but the two host “historians” are loathsome. Every episode has potential that’s instantly obliterated by the utterly silly woke bias. History -level training teaches you to not use your condescending, pedantic st-century theories to judge historical figures who lived hundreds of years ago. How about more fact, less opinion? I wasn’t going to mention the shrill, nasally voices, but they deserve it since most episodes involve them snidely snorting—literally snorting—at any white male historical figure. If you love inaccurate “history” and gross condescension, listen & subscribe, because Tracy & Holly know far more than you.
2023-01-21

10. Need my brain not to die!! - Im a stay-home mom of a year old boy and twin girls.they are almost months. Its crazy saying the least. Around :,pm ,when everyone is asleep and the chaos dozens of bottles need to be washed,I switch the podcast app on and listen to your podcast!! I feel human again! My brain gets a boost ,a kick! Thank you for EVERY SINGLE podcast!! Love it!!

11. December - Another important issue is that of water. Since they obviously couldn’t carry vast amounts of water during a mission they devised a method to recover their own urine. My father whom worked at NASA and Lockheed helped to develop this technology, which of course could have been highly susceptible to infection.
2022-12-05

12. Perfect podcast; bad network - I love Missed in History! From the original Candace and Josh days until now, they do a beautiful job covering subjects my history education ignored in a fun and thoughtful way! I debated leaving off a star because the podcast itself is perfection. Unfortunately iHeartRadio has been a terrible steward when it comes to ads. The ad breaks are LONG! Worse still, it will be the same series of ads each break. Sometimes the break is nearly min long which would be less offensive if it weren’t the same ad break sequence from the break before. If you happen to live in a country with fewer ad buys, you will just receive the same iHeart ads for other podcasts over and over, and if you’re listening to an older episode, lest you feel left out, the episode will suddenly cut out, sometimes mid-sentence, to deliver some ad breaks you never asked for. Let me be clear: This podcast is one of the GREATEST podcasts ever to exist. iHeart just can’t help muddling its perfection with repetitive, useless ads that devalue the brand. I recommend this podcast, but generally iHeart properties should be avoided like a plague!
2022-11-29

13. Great topics, watch pronunciations - Love the coverage on the variety of topics, especially points in history that many people don’t know about. But I would ask that the hosts verify the pronunciation of words they are unfamiliar with, as this is very important (esp. as historians), especially Indigenous names and titles used in the Thanksgiving episode. Most of the Indigenous names and tribal names were pronounced incorrectly by the hosts. Inviting specialists on episodes as co-hosts could fill in these knowledge gaps.

14. Newfound appreciation for history - History was never one of my favorite subjects but I have really discovered a newfound appreciation for it after finding Holly and Tracy and this podcast. I love their enthusiasm for history and how well they work together. I went back to when they started hosting together and am working my way through the archives. I’m up to ! Sure can’t wait to catch up!!! Amy R

15. Great content but…Holly - please stop - I have been listening to this podcast since and listened all the old episodes. So addictive and interesting BUT I find Holly’s solo- laughing so random/ un-necessary in the middle/after every other sentences. I had to stop listening sometimes as i find her unnecessarily loud/ distracting. I find it quite annoying and don't see whats so funny as it is basically Holly laughing for a good second or two by herself. Other than that, it is great for a long drive/ commute but really…tone it down a notch for many listeners’ sake.

16. Give it a rest - I unfollowed the show today. Is there any limit to the “wokeness” of the hosts?? I used to listen frequently, but it just got so self-righteous and preachy that I listened less and less. Today I saw a notification about an episode on Monarch butterflies. A favorite topic, so I decided to take a listen. Surely, here was a subject that would be free of a diatribe about the evils of white people. But no…these hosts can even make a discussion of butterflies be all about racism. News flash, ladies. Racism is a human condition. It has always existed and always will. It is not limited to white people. And not every.single.subject is about racism. You really, really, really need to expand your horizons.

1. Interesting but poor editing - The audio quality can be very poor. The background noises are often distracting and the interviews/audio snippets are conducted at different volume levels, which means you cannot always understand what people are saying. Some episodes are incredibly interesting and enlightening, but I’m unsubscribing because of the poor editing.

2. House Music vs EDM stipidity - I don’t understand why you would try to paint EDM and its spread into the main culture as a concern or issue. This lifestyle, including house, music, EDM, sub genres such as drum and bass, or techno or trance, are all inclusive. Credit has always been given to where it came from just like rock ‘n’ roll, and just like any other music genre. The people in this culture are all inclusive and accept you for whoever you are. To make it out like it’s taken over by white DJs is totally against the whole culture. Is it not OK other people to create or modify music? When I go to the shows, it’s all about love, no matter who you are, what are you, your exotic background, or whatever. It’s all love guys… the race baiting has to stop… this just gives ammo to the conservatives and Trumpsters that hate the freedom to be you! Cant we all just get along???

3. Thank You from a House Head - Such a brilliant episode tracing the cultural history of house music! As a metro NYC house head who was raised on disco, it was inspiring to hear that the roots of house music are being honored and preserved. Like blues, jazz, and rock & roll before it, house music is Black music and by historical extension, American music. Well done throughline team! That’s the way to throw your baby powder on the floor and move your body!

4. I love Throughline! - I love and respect this podcast SO MUCH. I recommend it to everyone I can. On an individual level it has reinvigorated my curiosity and on an interpersonal level has reinvigorated my desire to think about and explore topics that matter with others. I love that through this podcast gives unsung heroes their flowers. I love how this podcast tells parts of our human history that otherwise might not be documented and widely shared. Thank you, Throughline team for doing what you do.

5. show has kind of lost the plot! - agree with other reviewers that the earlier episodes about clear cut topics were better and more accurate. in the last two years it’s definitely taken on a weird aura of nihilistic hero vs villain, virtue vs evil narratives that are applied to the historical events in a one-size-fits-all way.
2023-02-11

6. Fails to Meet Its Potential - Often bites off more than it can chew. Early episodes were more targeted on discrete topics, allowing for a deeper and balanced understanding of the topics. I’ve grown disenchanted with the show taking on grand and existential topics that are impossible to do justice to in short episodes. Moreover, the show is reductionist often presenting topics as a binary - poor v elite - and always concluding with the romantic or Disney-esque perspective.

7. Best podcast ever! - Explains the present by looking at the past. Super enlightening. Makes you think about your actions… that they can have consequences tens or hundreds of years down the road. Gives you ideas on how we might reverse or redirect some of the troubling trajectories we’ve put ourselves on. :) Thank so much for this show! Great job guys!

8. OK but could be better - This podcast is more interested in telling appealing stories (generally accompanied by simplistic depictions of some characters as good and others as bad) than with attempting to reconstruct history in its complexity, irony, and paradox. (For comparison, see the BBC’s outstanding “In Our Time” episodes about history, which give an outline as what happened but also discuss the interpretive disagreements among experts. For example the IOT show on the US-Mexican War is outstanding and manages to avoid being US-centric.) Throughline is also too “presentist,” and is more concerned with attempting to change how US listeners think about current events than it is with treating the past in a more objective fashion that acknowledges it doesn’t fit neatly into our current debates, which frequently involve the misuse of history by polemicists on both the right and the left. That being said, there are some very good episodes based on the work of solid historians, and these episodes have considerable merit (it should be added that all the episodes have excellent technical production). But the bad episodes can be very bad. The episode on astrology, cites two works by people who are pro-astrology and gives no airtime to any scholars who treat the subject in an intellectually rigorous manner, such as an astrophysicist, a legitimate historian (whose work is peer reviewed), or a social psychologist (who could explain why so many humans believe in paranormal phenomena) might have. The episode on the coup in Iran, while not as horrible as the one on astrology, features Stephen Kinzer, who is a journalist out to sell his popular history books, and the unreliable account of self-glorifying CIA agent Kermit Roosevelt. Many solid scholars have worked on the coup; why not feature them and their disputes more prominently? Both of these episodes are extremely US-centric, neglecting the global dimensions of astrology and the Iranian aspects of the coup. I don’t want this show cancelled (we need more good history podcasts!), but it would be great if it were better informed of the debates among academic scholars.

9. Changed My Perspective: A Neutral Balanced Podcast - I have always yearned for a podcast that reports history and it’s causal effect in a human non-biased way. I hope one day that when someone becomes curious, instead of pulling out their phone and googling their question, a podcast suddenly starts by Thruline as soon as the question comes to mind.
2022-10-18

10. Love everything BUT the CONSTANT, DRIVING, ANNOYING music? - First off, I LOVE this show. The facts, figures, historical context, varied cultural specific windows into the unknown are just some of the most wonderful parts. The part that I have such a struggle with is the somehow deemed “dramatization” of all of the conflict surrounded dialogue. You don’t need this. It is disturbing and draws away from the already solid writing. Please stop. Many thanks Rachel

11. Thoughtful informative - This is my number one podcast. I have saved more of these episodes to re-listen than any other podcast I follow. I am grateful for a whole world view and whole world history. I appreciate the perspectives and knowledge shared in this podcast. As for the two hosts, they are so easy to listen to and feel the present knowledge in a respectful way. People I would welcome to know. I have gained so much from this podcast and the hosts.

12. Sesame Street - THROUGH LINE is my go to Podcast that consistently expands my intellectual curiosity questioning and expanding my world. Thank you. Buffy Saint-Marie is the first Indigenous woman who was on Sesame Street for seasons . She was married then pregnant giving birth to her son Cody. Breastfeeding (a TV first) was explained to Big Bird. I was very disappointed none of this was discussed. Perhaps you should expand your inclusivity better when discussing such a great educational Public Broadcasting program. KF- Albuquerque, NM

13. Good concept but falls short. - Its reminiscent to me of shows produced and hosted by high school students on our local station. The hosts’ perspective seems from a very young and naive place. Shallow The comments on tne production quality are spot on. Music too loud. Pace not right. I fast forward a lot Gave it a try for s few months off and on, I wanted to like it . but …moving on.
2022-09-10

14. Lacks nuance and humility - Great sound and audio production on interesting topics. However, it lacks the true humility and recognition of the many component factors that shape an event. Instead they bring one or two guests on with a narrow minded view on what shaped history. The information is presented in cause and effect cause and effect, while in reality there are many causes that may have a large or small impact on an event, but we will never know the exact amount for each. And to make matters more narrow they present definite conclusions with % confidence when in reality we will never know exactly why in most cases. The whole show is a far cry from the wisdom and humility of Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History.

15. Enjoyable storytelling and learning - I have been listening to your podcast for years, Rand, Ramtin, and team. I love it. The dots you connect helps more easily digest some of the most complicated and relevant topics of our times. You have a fantastic team. Keep up the great work and continue to inspire listeners like me to be curious!
2022-08-02

16. Just found this gem - I’ve listened to NRP since , currently listen to several NPR podcasts, but just discovered this one. It’s along the line of ‘the rest of the story’. I am watching Apple’s Tehran series and wanting to know more about Iran and it’s interactions with other countries and I found stories on Throughline, giving me some great background and tying together some threads of info I’ve learned over the years. I just started a paid subscription and am really excited to listen to more!

Lore is a bi-weekly podcast (now also a TV show and book series) about dark historical tales. Each episode explores the mysterious creatures, tragic events, and unusual places that fill the pages of history. Because sometimes the truth is more frightening than fiction.

1. This Podcast is probably the greatest thing that ever happened to me - To:Aaron Mahnke Thank you so much for sparking my interest and curiosity in the lore of our world and the alarming amount of strange creatures, monsters, and folk tales that show up in the most unexpected places. The first time I listened to this podcast back in I immediately fell in love with it and started listening nonstop, and the truth is before I listened to Lore I wasn’t even interested in podcasts so thank you! And last I would like to saw one more thing to whom ever is reading this… that no matter how hard you try to keep telling yourself that life is normal and calm, your wrong, because the will always be scary stories to pass around near the campfire, but most importantly there will always be lore.

2. This Podcast is Really Interesting But - This podcast was introduced to me thanks to my aunt and sisters and the first time I listened to it, I immediately fell in love. I listen to this podcast a lot now because the kind of things covered in this podcast is not only folklore, but real stories, and I really love that. I listen to this podcast while I sleep, driving, and much more. However, after reading a couple reviews and doing research, I have become aware of the fact that Aaron has supported the cancellation of Ben Shapiro (I think that’s how you spell his last name). I’m sorry, but just because he has different political opinions or opinions in general than you doesn’t mean that they deserve to have their life destroyed. And ANYONE who agrees with Aaron on this, I find absolutely disgusting. Other than that, this podcast is great and the stories are incredible, but I will never (NEVER) look at it the same.

3. Please move on from Witches — get back to supernatural topics - We get it. You went all in on Witches for your other podcast. Now you’re being overly repetitive & the shows content has suffered immensely. Stop recycling your prior research and generate some new content reminiscent of the first episodes. This show was captivating and stood above and beyond anything comparable. Now, it’s all witches. Soapboxing. And preaching. Just tell the stories. They are compelling. Stop weighing in and adding your political take through progressive lenses. Booooooooooo — you’re better than that Mahnke. Or maybe you’re not. Time will tell . . .
2023-03-14

4. What happened to the show - I do like the podcast but I’m not sure if the makers of the show is getting bored by remastering old episodes as new episodes or having to pay for new episodes or bites. I did have five before but it’s starting to go down hill since the subscription and remastering episodes has started. Not everyone can afford subscriptions. I debating on continuing to listen to the podcast anymore recently coming from someone who’s a long time listener
2023-02-22

5. I love lore - I have loved lore for years my mom and I drive around and listening to lore just to get away. Lore is by far the best podcast I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. Any person thinking about listening to lore should absolutely listen. Lore is a sweet blend of folk lore, history, and monsters. This is the first podcast I ever listened to and by far the best podcast to listen while walking, cleaning, or just hanging out in your room. I would not give it starts though I want to give it more!

6. History Paranormal Legend Lore - I've listened to Lore for years, and I've been to one of Aaron's live shows. I really enjoy his deep dives into the darker side of human cultures, psychology, and history. History is much more than dates, events, causes and consequences. Ghosts, cryptids, magic and the paranormal are universal parts of the human experience. Hard to say if it's all objectively "real," but these things have shaped human history and culture. It's fun to journey with Aaron through the shadows.

7. Wow… - I was referred over by the Morbid girls and boy I’m glad I checked this out! I’m a total nerd who loves learning the origin of popular fairy tales, words, idioms and any kind of dark esoteric facts. I’m cynical and I hate when all ghost stories are taken at face value without delving into deeper roots and possible psychological explanations for the supernatural. Somehow this show appeals to my nature in every way possible by laying out some of the coolest origin stories I’ve ever heard, many steeped in both fact and myth. Aaron flits in and out of these concepts seamlessly and I have never used the word spellbinding for a podcast, but this is indeed just that. Aaron’s soothing voice coupled with haunting piano music and incredible storytelling renders me spellbound.

8. Hi! - I love this podcast. Thank you! Hi. Again. Can’t get over how wonderful this podcast is. I love that is cohesive, intelligent, and engaging. Your voice is wonderful. I find it very calming but not boring in the least. Thank you! Hi! Chad Lawson is amazing! I found him on Amazon Music, and have been listening when I “do art”. I am so happy to have found him through your podcast. My dogs love him too!

9. A podcast that informs and frightens - Sadly, gender classification has become a weapon of crass destruction by those who breathe intolerance and excrete grievance. But how about genre classification? Some podcasts don't neatly fit into the genre categories defined by Apple, Spotify, or other podcast feeds. That's the story of the Lore podcast. Is it in the horror genre? Suspense? Supernatural? History? Thriller? True crime? Scary stories? The foundational strength of the podcast is that Lore is all those genres...and more. Lore, of course, is a shortened version of folklore, which means "the traditional beliefs, customs, and stories of a community, passed through the generations by word of mouth." Here's how the podcast's creators define it: "Lore is an award-winning, critically-acclaimed podcast about true life scary stories, exposing the darker side of history, exploring the creatures, people, and places of our wildest nightmares." Through over episodes, Lore has scared, delighted, confounded, titillated, and educated its listeners. The show claims million downloads. It's the last objective -- educating -- that elevates Lore about its brethren suspense podcasts. This podcast aims to not only brew up strong emotions, but also to teach us about our world. Let's look at just two examples. In episode , Notorious, Lore looks at the nature of the devil. Now the devil is scary, along with demons, and the evil it propagates. Host Aaron Mahnke treats us into a fascinating history lesson about the devil and its derivation. For example, Satan is a Hebrew word that means "adversary or enemy." Devil originated as a Greek word that means "The Deceiver." The history lesson continues and is woven neatly into the bone-chilling aspect of the episode. In episode about the haunting in Philadelphia's Eastern State Penitentiary, Mahnke offers us a history lesson about penal reform and its many iterations over the centuries, from sadistic punishment to reclamation. In the episode, Mahnke makes a surprising revelation. That centuries ago, punishment for a crime was so painful and odious -- flaying, whipping, and an excruciating execution -- that prison was the least objectionable part of the criminal justice system back then. After a brief but fascinating discussion of the history of prisons, Mahnke then discusses Eastern State and its most famous occupant, Al Capone. For eight months, from to , Capone served time at Eastern State for carrying a concealed weapon. His cell was dubbed "Park Avenue" because of the amenities that Capone and other notable inmates enjoyed while incarcerated there. Despite the luxuries Capone enjoyed, his stay at Eastern was traumatic for the gangster. Multiple times during his prison stay, Capone would awaken in the middle of the night screaming, "Jimmy." When awakened, he claimed to see a ghost. At the time, prison officials assumed that Capone was having nightmares about the St. Valentine's Day massacre shooting he had ordered on seven members of the Northside Gang in Chicago in early . One of the dead gang members was a man named James Clarke. Eastern State Penitentiary closed in , but re-opened twenty years later as a museum. Mahnke tells us -- with creepy piano music in the background -- that ghost sightings have been reported during museum tours. I've taken this tour, and, although I'm not a believer in the spirit world, it is supremely creepy and eerie there. The host -- and creator -- of Lore is Aaron Mahnke. He is the founder and President of Grim & Mild Entertainment, an entertainment company that develops and sells media such as podcasts (a roster of over shows), books, TV shows, and even a comic book. Like other successful podcasters, Mahnke has published a book to extend the brand. In his case, it's a three-book set called The World of Lore by Penguin Random House. Aaron Mahnke is an excellent host, and I assume that's because he has a passion for these topics. In his bio, Mahnke states that, "He has a deep love for anything historical, mysterious, or unusual." What makes Mahnke so good as the host of Lore is that he doesn't try too hard, mugging for the podcast mic. He doesn't try to sound extra creepy, with false intonations or tonal changes in his voice. Instead, Mahnke allows the excellent script, creepy, plaintive piano background music, and the listeners' own imagination do the work. There's studied patience to his voice that never betrays an urge to "get to the good stuff." No, instead, Mahnke prefers to construct his mood carefully, cautiously, and completely. So Aaron Mahnke doesn't have one of those voices that alone can scare the heck out of you. But he doesn't need to. Mahnke is a world builder by being a word builder. He uses all the tools to gradually draw you into his macabre world of sonic darkness. As a listener, you don't even know you're knee-deep in it until it's too late. We are visual beings. Eyesight prevails in the human world. Young adults fill up the seats at the local AMC or Regal theater to see Mgan or Smile. Here's a way to save money and still be entertained via creepiness. Listen to several episodes of Lore. Lights out. Headphones on for the immersive experience. You won't be sorry. Or maybe you will after you listen and realize that the rest of the family will not be home for several hours. You're home alone.

10. Informative, Fun, and Spooky - I love this podcast! It’s great for listening on the run, while working, or even at the gym. No swearing, so I don’t mind leaving it on without headphones, and there’s little bits of dry humor sprinkled in that make me laugh. I love the way Aaron tells a story while presenting facts, it makes it feel like it’s a campfire scary story circle.
2023-01-31

11. Fantastic Blend of History and Spookiness - You can tell this podcast is Aaron’s passion. If you’re a fan of tales ranging from odd and curious to really creepy then I highly recommend it. I love the combination of historical facts and macabre stories. I started listening a couple of weeks ago after discovering the Lore tv show on Prime. I can’t stop listening. Not only does he tell a great story, he does it from a compassionate perspective.
2023-01-31

12. Fantastic podcast reviewed by a chicken - This is the first podcast I’ve ever gotten into and enjoyed. Let me just say I’m a huge chicken with scary stories, movies, and video games to the point where I won’t watch or I can’t sleep for like a week so for me to be listening should clearly say how good this podcast is. Bravo Aaron! There are episodes that I will skip if it gets too scary for me. I forget which episode it was when he started talking about sleep and how we are most vulnerable and I was like naaaaaaahhhhh and skipped it hahaha. My fiancé gets a laugh out of it. A lot of the bad reviews have nothing to do with the podcast…
2023-01-27

13. In love with this podcast!! - I've been listening to Lore for years. This is definitely my favorite podcast and I listen to it every Monday when it comes out. Aaron Menke's voice is so smooth; if you're looking for spine-tingling tales that also teach you about something new, this podcast is perfect for you!!
2023-01-24

14. One Problem - Great series, Aaron Manke. Love your detail. Hovever, in your guide kHaunted Savannah’, you were talking about Old Candler Hospital, but you put New Candler Hospital. I am sure this is caused by a typographical error. Old Candler Hospital is accessible on Apple Maps; just copy and paste ‘Old Candler Hospital’ without the apostrophes.
2023-01-03

15. Magnifique! - Ever since the dawn of story telling, we seek for a voice true enough to personify events we no longer remember, never heard of, or things we never thought to hear. It’s incredible how history can be fascinating or in most cases mysterious beyond belief. I’m Clara Sias, and I love Lore.
2023-01-01

16. Perfection - I listened to this since I was like . I don’t know why so many people don’t like the host. Sure they are a little robotic at times but they tell the stories amazingly. Speaking of the stories I love them they just can’t possibly be better. TLDR totally recommend wish there was an infinite star rating.
2022-12-29

17. What happened? - I used to really like this show. My son and I enjoyed listening together when he was a kiddo. But, something has definitely changed with the host. His narrative and personal spin have become preachy and holier-than-thou and he just takes himself so seriously. My son stopped listening years ago, and I try to listen on occasion.
2022-12-18

18. Hi! Brilliant Podcast! - Hi! I’ve been listening to Lore on and off again over the years on a couple of different platforms. Every time I start listening again, it feels like I’m catching up with an old friend. I am so glad to be listening again and look forward to catching up on the episodes I’ve missed. As someone who goes through occasional struggles with mental health issues, which account for the periods of my lapse in listening, I appreciate you talking about BetterHelp and the importance of taking care of one’s mental health.
2022-12-05

19. Excellent storytelling - Aaron is a great writer and storyteller—he infuses his stories with modern comparisons and deep historical context. I’ve been listening from the beginning and I love how the series has evolved into a polished, but still true to its roots, production. Well done, Aaron, and I hope someday you own up to intending each and every pun.
2022-12-03

20. Im sorry but its true - Sry but the way this guy talks is robotic. how are we not talking about this. Good stories but unlistenable sorry about it . I tried to sit thru it when the pod first got started and revisited again now. It sounds like Siri is reading me a scary story. Im really sorry but I gotta speak my truth.
2022-12-01

21. As good as it gets - Hello to Aaron and everyone else at Grim & Mild! I haven’t been listening to Lore since the very beginning, but I first tuned in around episode . Now, years later, this podcast and the rest that Aaron works on have become a significant fixture in my daily life. It has helped me through overnight shifts, long drives, and washing the dishes countless times. There’s something both calm and exciting about Aaron’s voice and delivery that keeps me coming back again and again. You couldn’t ask for a more perfectly curated, aesthetic listening experience. Between the music, content, and narration, the team that makes this podcast consistently delivers excellence week after week, sometimes multiple times per week! Today I saw my listening statistics for the year on one of my apps, and I had over , minutes of listening to podcasts this year. Four of my top five podcasts were all from Grim & Mild Presents. Thank you all so much for the continuous hard work you do to make this podcast happen. Please know that for a lot of people life just wouldn’t be the same without you.

22. Excellent Dreams - This is the only podcast that I find both fascinating to listen to during the day, but also cures my insomnia. It is well researched and I appreciate how different facts and stories are tied together. I find Sleep podcasts to be jarringly boring, which keeps me awake and annoyed- this is fascinating without pumping adrenaline. Other historical/creepy podcasts use a strange monotone voice I can’t listen to- this host has the perfect comforting voice… not monotone but also not dramatic. Some True crime podcasts give me nightmares or wake me up with a jolt- this one creates amazing dreamscapes but not nightmares. It’s always a pleasure to listen to, or to see what dreams I will have that night. Genuinely, Thank you!
