corgirulzSo good!I can’t wait until may 6. It’s my birth day and nothing interesting happens then really that I know of. On June 14, my younger sisters birthday, it says a bunch of cattle gathered around a meteorite. Why does she get that? Lucky. Also someday, when I grow up, I’m gonna have my own podcast. Maybe. 77%. Ok 25% sure but still. Ok let’s be real it like 15%

Xbound24Surprised to see some of the poor reviewsI love this quick, fast-paced history blip every morning. I get to learn something new and it fits in great for my short commute. I like the lightheartedness of it and the broad variety of topics. There’s clearly a good bit of effort gone in to such a short little podcast which I appreciate as well. Even the topics that make my eyes glaze over (British history…I’m SORRY) are bright and fun and, barring all that, only ten minutes! Consistently fun, definitely one of my favorite podcasts. Surprised it doesn’t have more reviews!

pop1peefalse informationWhat bothers me most is when someone comes to talk about history without full knowledge and distorts it with his wrong words. Christians have designated Sunday as a holy day since the first century because it is the day on which Christ rose from the dead, not the Emperor Constantine, who designated it for Christians.

iampatmannSuch a great showThe show is fun and informative. One of my favorite podcasts. Rebecca and Arion do a great job of researching every day’s topics. Olly also usually has a fact or two as well, but he clearly is there for his entertainment skills, not his research or analytic skills. A helpful hint for listeners is if Olly starts a statement with, “Obviously…” or, “Of course…” the rest of what comes next is likely going to be based on a misunderstanding of the topic, a misunderstanding of the context surrounding the topic, or a failure to listen to what his cohosts have already said.

His Story NutGreat Today in History Podcastif you like History you will love this podcast. I find the content interesting even though it it produced in the U.K. and I am not produced in the U.K. ;-)

Coachlacrossenot what I expectedI thought this was going to be as good as History Daily. With in the span of 10 minutes on the Last Queen of Hawaii I knew i was going to have to unsubscribe. Listening to 3 British acents tell me how bad America was not enjoyable. Also the Rip on Fox news is pretty ridicoulous considering all the other cable "news" supports socialism communism. Hearing their political views would really make me question their "truth" of the history they are reporting.

Unkle BubbaBetter check your continuityI was looking forward to an August 30, 2022 show and it was some thing from 2007? Somebody’s not doing their job.

lexilooloveFunny, fast & informative!Great podcast to start the day with, highly recommend!
-
KateMutchLove this show!The trio create a show full of historical facts that are often obscure and always interesting. They have great chemistry. I always look forward to this and five days a week start my day with it. Am an American listener. Highly recommend it.

jim from GuamOlly Mann keeping us informed!As a devoted lister of Answer Me This (which will always be missed!) and The Modern Mann (of which I am an official Mannbassidor!), I was definitely going to try Olly’s latest endeavor; but after not having it in my daily pod-feed for a week now at the end of the year, I realize just how much I enjoy the show and look forward to hearing it! With interesting topics chosen to discuss “on this day in history” and witty banter of the hosts, this is a daily dose of fun!
-
Nmgg754Great new show!Love this! I came as a long time listener of Answer me This, and am really enjoying it. Give it a listen! **Request in case they read their reviews— can you put out a weekly episode of all that week’s episodes in one download? Even if you have to increase the ads, it would be so nice.

pfmLove the show, but…I love everything about this show BUT they use the word ‘theory’ when they are talking about an hypothesis.
