    Japan’s First MLB Player Gets Pulled From The Game
    I love all your podcasts and am so glad you have returned with new weekly content! This particular one about Masanori Murakami was exceptional. I knew about Murakami-San, but had no idea what all he went through or that he really wanted to play in America. Thanks for another great show!

    Changed format
    We absolutely this podcast but it’s a bit different since it came back. It’s not quite the same format of storytelling. Hope it gets back to the way it was. Really disappointed to hear that Sally won’t be narrating some of the episodes now.
  • LongDawgSilver

  • Sosorrythissucks
    Great show..horrible ad choices
    The loud ads for football and other obnoxious ads make this podcast completely unlistenable. Ruined a good thing.

    My favorite podcast!
    This podcast not only entertained me during long drives to visit my sick mother, but I also learned so much and fell in love with history! This is hands down my favorite podcast! I’m SO glad this podcast is coming back! The best news ever!
  • Anders_91
    FINALLY it’s back!
    I am so excited to see there’s a new episode. Even though I thoroughly enjoy learning about history, some podcasts can be extremely dry and hard to listen to. So thank you (everyone at history this week) for choosing interesting events and people, but also making it enjoyable.

  • webb347
    Love this history podcast
    I am so excited it’s coming back. I’ve been searching for a replacement since it went on pause and haven’t found anything quite as good at telling stories from different periods of history. Really engaging and informative!
  • This name not chosen
    So happy the show is returning.
    This is my favorite podcast to listen to, informative, entertaining and well researched. Missed this podcast so much.
  • Sam the sky witch
    Informative but fun
    I love this podcast. It’s such an easy listen and has become one of my go to podcasts for work and roadtrips. I love how there are so many different eras of history and they focus on topics that are less talked about.

    Do yourself a favor... TREAT yourself to this podcast
    This podcast can be summed up in 3 words: Entertaining, eclectic, educational. Entertaining above all else. At no point, regardless of the topic, will you be bored. From Sally’s voice/inflection/passion, to the well-informed and enthusiastic guests, you are immediately engrossed. It feels like a warm, comfortable, story time around the campfire every week. The content is so interesting! Eclectic in how many topics it covers. Some topics will, by necessity, be more interesting than others based off of your interests and knowledge. However, you are bound to learn something new, and because it is so entertaining, even if you didn’t know you were interested in a given topic, you WILL BE after hearing the show! You will never think, “oh, we’re hearing about THAT again” because rather than generalities, it focuses on very specific events. Due to this focus on specific events, you will be an educated, better informed, human. They never retread the same, tired, general topics of World War II, or this, or that, which you studied in school, and watched a documentary, and saw a movie... it is FRESH information about various topics spanning hundreds of years, and will make your brain happy :D Most important of all, it effortlessly blends all these elements together, and properly represents what history is all about. Telling OUR story, the story of humanity, imperfect creatures with hopes, desires, and complex motivations. History should NEVER be rote, cold, and treated as though it were a documentation of sterile facts in a vacuum, detached from the very people and world that history is supposed to give a voice.

  • tcrazyhouse5
    Not nearly enough episodes!
    This is a great podcast. I’ve learned things I didn’t even know that I needed to know! I’m hoping you come back for many more seasons to continue to educate us. So much more to know!! Plus, Sally Helm has a great voice that’s easy to listen to Edit 6/21/24- PLEASE COME BACK WITH MORE!!

  • Straightiron
    Cannot talk reconstruction without Grant
    Cannot talk about reconstruction without bringing up Ulysses S Grant’s passage of the 15th Amendment and creation of the Justice Department to wage war against the first Klan who he defeated. Grant’s entire cabinet went to the capital to introduce the Ku Klux Klan of 1871. This war against the Klan was very real and Grant defeated this Klan which was the size of the confederate army. He was the first Civil Rights President. (Cancelled by Lost Cause propaganda)

    History to fall asleep to…(yes! Its a good thing)
    I just heard you mention moms using your podcast to help their babies sleep. Be proud! This insomniac/bedtime worrier has finally found the perfect educational podcast to shut off my racing brain & sleep. No drumming, few explosions & no dramatic war noises… Just History - soothing, interesting (but not “too” interesting) history - so grateful🥱😴🥰
