HISTORY
On History Daily, we do history, daily. Every weekday, host Lindsay Graham (American Scandal, American History Tellers) takes you back in time to explore a momentous event that happened ‘on this day’ in history. Whether it’s to remember the tragedy of December 7th, 1941, the day “that will live in infamy,” or to celebrate that 20th day in July, 1969, when mankind reached the moon, History Daily is there to tell you the true stories of the people and events that shaped our world—one day at a time. So if you’re stuck in traffic, bored at work—wherever you are, listen to History Daily to remind yourself that something incredible happened to make that day historic.

HISTORY
Sherlock Holmes Short Stories narrated by Hugh Bonneville. A woman struck dead after hearing a haunting whistle. A series of child-like drawings scrawled throughout a country estate. A prize horse wandering the moors without an owner. To the regular observer, these are merely strange anomalies. But for the master detective Sherlock Holmes they are the first pieces of an elaborate puzzle. New episodes every Thursday. For ad-free listening and early access to new episodes, join Noiser+.

Great Podcast But Too Many Ads

I love this podcast and have been listening to it for about a year. However I’ve noticed that the number of ads in a 30-40 minute segment has steadily increased. I’ve counted 6 ads in one session. In this crazy economy I can’t afford to subscribe just to avoid the ads, and I hate to delete the podcast from my library. Can the ads be placed at the beginning and end of each session instead of several in the middle? As someone famous writes, “thank you for your attention to this matter.” ☺️
