Customer Reviews
Every listener will probably push back against this but…
Would love to hear more episodes around a women regardless of how the patriarchy mainly venerates successful men. I know, Joan of Arc is on here, and that’s great but what about the many monarchs, artists, scientists that could be spoken about? Would love more balance.
My new favorite history podcast
The best thing about this podcast is that Ben does a great job staying on point and doesn’t go on tangents. He never over talks key points. When the episode starts, he doesn’t do some mysterious build up but rather he just gets right into it. At the end, he’ll do a nice wrap up highlighting some important key points to remember. Seriously, Ben, I’m telling you, I am picky with what I listen to and this podcast is spot on. Great job! 10/10
Love this podcast !!!!
Always had an interest in the so-called “Great Men of History” and finding a single podcast that recounts all their live stories is insane.
