History Time

The best history podcast even after several years. Entertaining and illuminating. Thanks again Pete!

After reading other’s reviews I have to say my take on this is different. Though I enjoy the historical research and attention to detail, I mainly listen to this for the storytelling. I like the music and presentation. I get transported to another time and place. I got chills when he describes things like when the Vikings were navigating their boat’s between the icebergs. It’s exactly what I need to forget the days stress. The rich history is icing on the cake for me.

Well researched and, of equal worth, a well-considered presentation. A great supplement to reading and, for those who may not have the time and space to read, a valuable introduction to the material. The music is unnecessary.

….the constant interruption with musical embellishment - in the foreground, in the background - it’s more relentless than the history you’re trying to evoke. You don’t have to appeal to people who hate silence. They won’t listen to your podcast anyway. Stick to appealing to people who want to hear about history and don’t care for car commercial-type layouts to wrap around the information you - otherwise brilliantly - present.
