Amazing variety

You can come to History Hack for
pretty much anything that takes your fancy history-wise. What you can be assured of is that it will be well covered and interestingly told. There’s a good line-up of hosts and lots of learned guests. And occasionally they all go to the pub.

Enthusiastic and informative

I love this podcast it’s fresh and enthusiastic approach to subjects, some well known others slightly obscure, makes it a joy to listen to. Going from strength to strength. Ignore the haters and the one stars try this for yourself, I doubt your be disappointed. To the whole team, a very big Thank you!

Nope

You’re Dead To Me, Not Just The Tudors, Gone Medieval and the vast majority of History Extra are all great history podcasts. This one will make you appreciate them even more.
