Surprised to see some of the poor reviews
Jun 24
I love this quick, fast-paced history blip every morning. I get to learn something new and it fits in great for my short commute. I like the lightheartedness of it and the broad variety of topics. There’s clearly a good bit of effort gone in to such a short little podcast which I appreciate as well. Even the topics that make my eyes glaze over (British history…I’m SORRY) are bright and fun and, barring all that, only ten minutes! Consistently fun, definitely one of my favorite podcasts. Surprised it doesn’t have more reviews!
Such a great show

The show is fun and informative. One of my favorite podcasts. Rebecca and Arion do a great job of researching every day’s topics. Olly also usually has a fact or two as well, but he clearly is there for his entertainment skills, not his research or analytic skills. A helpful hint for listeners is if Olly starts a statement with, “Obviously…” or, “Of course…” the rest of what comes next is likely going to be based on a misunderstanding of the topic, a misunderstanding of the context surrounding the topic, or a failure to listen to what his cohosts have already said.
false information
Mar 10
What bothers me most is when someone comes to talk about history without full knowledge and distorts it with his wrong words. Christians have designated Sunday as a holy day since the first century because it is the day on which Christ rose from the dead, not the Emperor Constantine, who designated it for Christians.
Great Today in History Podcast

if you like History you will love this podcast. I find the content interesting even though it it produced in the U.K. and I am not produced in the U.K. ;-)
