The only way

British guy, his country is an open cesspool beyond repair and yet he wants to lecture about America's politcal system. Yea, as if we'd listen to you, keep your stupid opinions to yourself, you and your country is an embarrassment. Rachel Maddow as a guest ?! Unsubscribed.

Generally a decent show, I don’t listen to every episode; that being said, the Harris/Trump episode was soooo blatantly political and staged I almost threw up. There is a place for Left and Right political bias to exist, in fact whole podcast series are created around one side or the other. A History podcast should have no space for outrageous clichés peddling one politician over another. I was prepared to hear a historian put an interesting spin on the earth-shattering events of the last month… instead Dan Snow took the mask off and revealed to the world that he is just another tool manipulating reality. Unless there’s some kind of balancing episode in the next week from another perspective, I’ll be deleting this and possibly other ‘History Hit’ podcasts. Stick to what you say you are, don’t pretend. We are all tired of the lies. Edit: as expected, no balancing episode dropped to alleviate the extreme bias pushed in the Harris vs Trump episode. Unsubscribed.

Rachael Madcow? I thought you were a typical European socialist. But with this fool on your pod it proves you are a complete libtard tool. Too bad. Your “history” shows are great.

What’s up with the hat? Did you see one movie as a kid and let it determine your style forever? I would like this program more without the cheesy drama.

Fantastic show but host and guests speech are sped up so much in production that podcasts can be difficult to parse and follow. Imitators of the “chipmunk” style of History Hit are starting to proliferate. Please, slow it down.

Exceptionally well researched and presented episodes about aspects of history I often know little or nothing about, but which affect our modern lives. A joy to listen to.

Imagine being an adult and believing that history and politics have nothing to do with each other

Most podcasts I’ve tried have at least a 1 week trial. This is only 3 days (I thought it was 7 days).

Dan has the very best combination of deep knowledge and almost school kid passion for history in all its era and forms I’ve ever known. Whenever I want to lose myself and learn at the same time, History Hit is where I go. Thank you for all you do to keep the importance and joy of history alive, Dan. From a fellow North American-UK dual citizen currently joining you from North Carolina.

Boring!!!!!!!! Why do you insist on lowering your podcast to that of political pundits

Chapeau to Dan Snow! I’m a long time listener that has appreciated and enjoyed so many of his podcasts but the recent accounts of the men and stories of Endurance are superb! Shackleton of course, but finally honoring the men behind the headlines, Tom Crean is truly a man’s man. Born without advantage but always stepping forward placing his own safety behind his teammates. History is more than the shiny wrapper, peeling back the layers gives such a deeper understanding of what it was really like, thanks Dan Snow. More Please!

😗😌😍😍😍😍😍😍

What a delightful podcast! I enjoy a good deep dive into some of history’s most under-appreciated stories. I especially loved hearing about Boudica! Dr. Gillespie really brought her story to life in a knowledgeable and engaging way! I hope there will be more academic women on the show!

The subjects are wide-ranging, and Dan’s incisive questions are enhanced by his friendly enthusiasm.

I love the fact that there’s no gratuitous music, forced cackling and lame attempts at humor. His selection of guests is almost unfailingly brilliant. My only suggestion is to please be sure that each guest – regardless of his or her expertise – also speaks in a loud and distinct voice. Otherwise their command of the topic risks being wasted and the listener is left frustrated. Please keep up the good work.

Love this podcast! Great insights and facts about various historical events. If you like history, look no further.

They simply can’t handle the truth. Great podcast.

But cannot access subs episode podcasts. TV is okay.

I sat in the parking lot of my office building compelled to finish the Battle of Britain episodes. Incredible. I’m an American and I sat with tears in my eyes listening to the stories of these courageous and defiant British men and women who risked their lives so willingly. Inspirational is a vast understatement. Dan snow presents Storytelling at its absolute best!

Great topics, excellent guests, proper research, along with a great delivery by Dan!

Unfortunately the enthusiasm and slightly smarmy repartee ( more akin to an Italian waiter) don’t translate to incisive analytics. This is red brick at best vs oxbridge. Good for nursing homes

Dan you do an amazing job! Love that you are going to expand the subject matter! But I have loved this podcast from the first!!!

This guy puts a podcast out every 16 minutes.

Aw man, I look to history podcasts as a distraction from contemporary political silliness. It’s a shame this one is sliding into the fray. Do people really buy the fear mongering by Rhodes? Were Democratic primary voters “relieved” by the party bosses’ decision to override them? “This is the most important election of our lives!” Etc. bummer.

With the exception of the Obama acolyte, (will you interview someone from the Trump universe for balance?), this is an excellent program. Dan is informative as well as engaging. I also love the opening of the program with its sound and music touching upon some momentous points in history. Thank you, Dan.

I was enjoying this podcast immensely until the episode with Ben Rhodes as a guest. The episode Harris vs Trump was extremely biased painting the democrats party as saints and republicans as uninformed MAGA extremists. I am an independent and could clearly see through it. Shame on you. Educating listeners about history should not include your political opinions and misinformation.

So we have a huge left wing bias to this episode. Sweeping statements and generalizations are not what history pods should consist of

I have been “binge” listening to History Hit for the last few days (Music Unlimited Ad-Free) and each episode has been great. Great History podcasts like History Hit will be a gateway for younger generations to learn their history because it is very important to know and maybe understand to see how and why we got to where we “locusts” are at now. The best episodes are the ones with leading World War I

From my reading there are three factors alone that may have doomed Scott. 1. At the last minute he added a 5th person to the final polar team. All of the rations and fuel were planned for 4 people. Is this true? 2. There was no accounting for the evaporation of the fuel hence the fuel shortages. 3. The dog teams were discounted as anything but ferrys of supplies when using them could have saved days and calories. Thanks, always a pleasure to listen.

I work for an Electric Utility in Northern California. While doing inspections I will listen with my phone in my shirt pocket and quite often I will laugh with no one in the Sub but me. I learned my trade in the US Navy on the USS New Jersey. Re-commissioning crew and plank owner from 1982. Went to Lebanon with the Multi-national peacekeeping force. I’ve learned a lot from the History Hit and Warfare pods and a subscriber. Thank you for producing very entertaining and informative shows.

I was a super fan of this Pod, until… you had to slip in the globalist elite cabal who are trying to suppress populist democracy. I kinda think it’s a good thing that people can vote out the elites. Just me?

I’m new to this podcast and got hooked on the Napoleon series. I decided to go back and listen to old episodes in order. Whether it’s a topic I know well like WWII or not so well like medieval Europe I always learn something. I especially like obscure stories and other bits of history. The podcast on mudlarking was a particular favorite. Keep up the great work!

I just heard the Max Eisen episode. Truly amazing! I was trying to work while listening and I would have to stop because I became overwhelmed with sadness. Mr. Eisen is correct. This must never happen again!

Thanks

Why are there ads in the middle of sentences?? Extremely annoying.

Please stop using this dude for your incessant advertising for mint mobile, they really turned me off

Since you’re using a mythological book in the one on Pontius Pilot , I’m afraid I can’t take you seriously. Pontius pilot existed. There’s no proof that Jesus did.

The subject matter was most timely and is something that most people are very ignorant about. Unfortunately, the presentation was very rushed, cursory, and felt like the host was just “checking a box,” regarding an important aspect of history.

Dan Snow brings in academics, often some of the best, to discuss their areas of expertise. He's a thoughtful interviewer and a passionate listener. All of his shows are good, most are very good, and some are superb. It's worth my time and attention.

The best! Love the show and the host. Well researched and great presentation. I’m well and truly hooked!!

Great series on Machu Pichu which brought back my favorite memory lane, which I visited several years ago. Dan enhanced my understanding and knowledge of the areas. The show production is getting more sophisticated and smooth. And Dan is one of best interviewers and brought out most from guests in condensed time frames. Please keep going!

Currently the best host of any archaeological program or podcast. Knowledgeable, enthusiastic, engaging and not pretentious. Reminds me of a young David Attenborough in a way. As a side note, I wish the new Time Team had used him. They don’t seem to have grasped the fact that to interest a wide, non specialized audience, it’s not so much about the subject as about the personality of the presenter. Well, at least that leaves him free to make wonderful series like this one. Here’s following you, kid.

Dan is funny, entertaining and his excitement is contagious. And I like learning about history.

love the information and the construction of this podcast, but lord do i wish i could lower the theatrics of dan’s delivery. the breathing, the consonants, goodness.

The ultimate podcasts for history lovers and the history curious.

Thanks

Dan succeeds at making history entertaining

Dan and his guests do a great job breaking down the ins-and-outs of history.

I can’t say enough how much I enjoy listening to Dan Snow and his distinguished guests cover large and small historical events in terms that are entertaining and easily digestible. I look forward to each episode!
