The Alarmist

Thank you so much for this podcast! I am constantly telling people about it. Learning about history this way really helps me retain the details, and knowledge is power. Just yesterday, there was an arrogant man at work who likes to show off his knowledge of history..it’s ridiculous, but unfortunately I was unable to leave the room when he started peppering everyone with questions. He didn’t think anyone could name the bombs used in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He asked me directly, and I calmly replied with the right answers and it took the wind out of his sails a bit. Appreciate the help from you all!

The cast and guests are great! BUT please learn the proper pronunciation of names! It makes listening easier. The Troy episode I had to cut short because of it.

Is there anyone in this industry that has an ounce self awareness? The real world doesn't hate men, isn't obsessed with race, and definitely doesn't care about your political opinions or want them injected into every episode. It's so overdone tired and the worst way to make a good podcast. Insulting your would be listeners is mean spirited and arrogant. Come on! Read the room not funny comedians.

I heard about this podcast from The Office Ladies and I am right there with Jenna Fischer, I’m obsessed with this podcast! Rebecca does an outstanding job explaining historical events in an interesting way. I can’t stop telling people about this show. My husband loves listening with me and we’ve had amazing conversations as a result of the topics. I’m still near the beginning, but I explored all the 500+ episodes and every topic I’m interested in learning about has been covered. I can’t wait to get to those! Thank you for all your hard work on this podcast. It’s absolutely binge worthy.
