Customer Reviews
The Best Ever
I have been searching far and wide for a new history podcast and I have been thanking the gods ever since I found this show. The host is very entertaining yet he explains every piece of history better than any history teacher/professor. I actually get excited to drive to work because I get to listen to this podcast for an hour. I will say, I hope Michalis makes other history podcasts. Top tier #1
History doesn’t get much better than this
I freaking LOVE this program. What a great thing to get real history served up with humor and knowledge, and lighthearted insight. I could listen for hours — and I do. Thanks for keeping it real and really interesting. Looking forward to seeing what comes next.
