History Is Dank

479

Strider Wilson hosts a podcast delving into history through the perspective of a mature erudite bro. He was one unit away from a history minor at U.C. San Diego, but he does’t let that stop him from examining what it would have been like to be a bro posted up on Bunker Hill or uncovering what the chillest aspect of surrealist art is. Buckle up because Strider will not only venture into humanity's shared past. He will venture within himself. Asking real questions such as, “exactly how tight are pirates,” or “what if he stayed that extra semester in school,” “would my life have been danker?” Strider firmly believes that history is tight because we all should for sure blaze our own trails… but in what direction?

    Great podcast
    I really enjoyed this podcast has a great spin on history and keeps it simply but construct. Very funny and I am now a new follower. I am currently recommending to my friends
  • Contav
    Good Stuff
    Loads of knowledge and wisdom from this guy every week
  • General Snobbery
    Funniest pod of all time
    Dude, this podcast is incredible. I can’t believe I’m only now discovering it. I realize I’ve missed years of weekly hysterics, but I find peace in the recognition that I now get to binge years’ worth of the most hilarious podcast in existence. Strider is a comedian of unparalleled wit, sharpness, and intelligence, all channeled through the personality of the chillest of all bros who we all want to hang out with on the reg. Thanks to his dedication to this pod, we get to hang with the legend every single week. I truly can’t express how happy I am about that. I’ve listened to pods for 7 years and never subscribed to one for more than a few weeks, but there’s no doubt I’ll remain subscribed to History is Dank for however long it runs, which I hope is for the rest of time. A mighty salute to you, Strider, for creating this perfect fusion of comedy and history in a way only you could do. Your work is a great offering to the scrolls of human history, and the gods shall forever smile upon ye.

    Great! Fun!!!
    This podcast is great and is a fun way to learn interesting things and events you don’t otherwise hear about. I’m fired up!!
  • F/V Cornerstone Swan’s Island
    Long Time Listener
    I have listened to every Ep of this Podcast and only have one problem. Strider only releases one ep a week. This Podcast gives me the same feelings as playing Assassins Creed. It’s an enjoyable time and when it is over you unconsciously have become more knowledgeable and have expanded the brain. I look forward to Tuesday morning to turn it on the load speaker and watch my crew at work faces light up. I now rank Podcasts from 1-History is Dank. There couldn’t be a more perfect Podcast. I have used my knowledge from this pod many times from Impressing chicks at a party, to impressing chicks at the club, to impressing chicks at beach, to impressing my mom at Gettysburg with the Sickles knowledge. Thank You Strider, this Pod was a life changer. Proud to be a Danktorian.

    A podcast of epic proportions. Informative, relaxing, and comical. Strider is great at talking about history while adding a dank comedic twist while still remaining informative. Strider, thank you for gracing us with an epic podcast that we can all look forward to.

    Dank Pod
    I find myself singing the opening song to myself more than I’d care to admit. Nothing like a Dank history lesson followed by information regarding sweatshirt styles. One stop shop.

  • dhf;adshnf;asdf
    History? More like His Story.
    Listen/watch as The Master of Matrimony and Strider Wilson impersonator, Joel Olsteen, takes you on weekly Magical History Tours that are hysterical, factual, and refreshing. Joel's use of vivid verbal imagery transports the audience back in time to events that have shaped civilization and humanity as we know it while also weaving in heartwarming and (romantically) touching stories of his dank fiancée and the stylized furnishings of various apartment spaces (including his desk which is used for "personal growth" as his fiancée goes on runs). Truly a 5/5 podcast. Pssh, treat yo'self...and listen.
  • Johhhnnnsonn
    Awesome!

  • fffantasyggguuy
    5 Star review & hopefully dank idea
    Absolutely fire podcast, not only historically accurate and stimulating but also chill. @Strider possible to add a monthly Greek Mythology sode? Or a segment at the end of a pod? Would love to hear you rip some straight up lore.
  • KSchuxo
    I tried…
    I really tried so hard to like this podcast but between pronunciation errors, inaccurate information, and the character type voice used I just can’t get into it. Seems like a good introduction to history podcast but definitely do your fact checking.
  • JackPosthauer
    Dank!
    Makes me happy
  • Roddy Morales

    Chicago Deep Dish
    Strider, Giordano’s deep dish gets too much disrespect in this ep. It’s a thicker crust and I understand that and I also recognize that Lou’s and Gino’s are both dank. But, Giordano’s is a ridiculously dank deep dish za if you go into it with an open mind if you aren’t a Chicagoan. Even if you are it is still an elite za both deep and thin. Hope you understand where I’m coming from as a Chicago guy like Joe’s HOG, but also understand as a historian which you are. God bless you and God bless the pod Strider, love what you’re putting out
