Hilarious History
Do you think that history is boring? Think again! This podcast is incredibly detailed and historically accurate, but Dick’s sarcasm, tone and all-round personality make it a joy to listen to. I particularly love all the nicknames he comes up for historical figures, as well as his music choices. If you are easily offended, then this podcast is definitely not for you. If you’re up for a laugh though, whilst also learning a lot, I highly recommend it!
