-
JTDentonRuined by adsThis was one of my favorite podcasts, but I absolutely cannot tolerate the number of ads. It’s become ridiculous and it’s a real shame.
-
blakey blake blakeMy favorite history podcastI love this podcast so so much!
-
Avery MinnieLove! But the ads?I have loved this podcast for YEARS. Sally is great. I love the story telling & I’m always intrigued & learning. Unfortunately ever since the show has been back there are so many ads per episode & it’s a little disappointing - Other than that I am obsessed with this podcast🙌🏼
-
dlthebuffyatersLove this show!So informative and well produced. Look forward to listening more.
-
Es Kay ElGood podcast, too many adsI’ve been listening to this podcast since its inception and it’s good but what is going on with all the ads lately???? Do we need to donate money??? Willing to donate to not have to listen to 8 minutes of ads.
-
WW2 nerd (has other hobbiesObsessed!I’m 14 yrs old and LOVE this podcast.Its like a safe space for me, I love history and the voices and sound effects, the way she talks, everything is perfect. The episodes are all unique and interesting, like the listener is a fish and it’s a hook. I have ADHD and everything on this still keeps me involved. This podcast rlly understands me like no other. SO HAPPY ITS BACK! Sad to hear that Sally won’t be narrerating some of the episodes now though, also the changed format style isn’t as good as before but it’s fine! :3
-
micmacmac*AdsJust an insane amount of ads for such a short show.

beaviss420AwesomeThey are great but maybe less making white peoples feel bad. There are a lot of positive things to cover.
-
Barbara KellmerSally the narrator is so goodWhat a mistake by the history channel to have canceled this show when it has a talent like Sally narrating. Luckily someone brought it back. The research and presentation are top notch, but I’m always a bit disappointed when there is a guest narrator. They are good but Sally is great. Thanks
-
BrittyBHBring back the old format!I miss the old format before they rebooted this show! The combination of scripted narration and interview excerpts gave the show a quick pace, and made every story compelling. The ticking sound effect gave a sense of suspense and urgency to every episode. Even though many stories were unfamiliar to me or from segments of history I didn’t think I was interested in, I found myself captivated by the storytelling. Now with the long interview format, I get bored and stop listening halfway through. The show doesn’t give me a reason to be interested anymore.
-
I'm just a listener.I always look forward to the new episode but ….Few people understand how much work goes into each show. You present each show to the listener on a professional level. My favorite is -The last regular day in Pompeii. But sometimes you upset me. The episode about "Two fathers and one fight" is of course funny and nevertheless scary for the future. Funny because it is about the church... and scary for the future because all moral and ethical standards simply disappear.
-
GJSiP2Japan’s First MLB Player Gets Pulled From The GameI love all your podcasts and am so glad you have returned with new weekly content! This particular one about Masanori Murakami was exceptional. I knew about Murakami-San, but had no idea what all he went through or that he really wanted to play in America. Thanks for another great show!
-
capturinglifeChanged formatWe absolutely this podcast but it’s a bit different since it came back. It’s not quite the same format of storytelling. Hope it gets back to the way it was. Really disappointed to hear that Sally won’t be narrating some of the episodes now.
-

dakotajames17My favorite podcast!This podcast not only entertained me during long drives to visit my sick mother, but I also learned so much and fell in love with history! This is hands down my favorite podcast! I’m SO glad this podcast is coming back! The best news ever!
-
Anders_91FINALLY it’s back!I am so excited to see there’s a new episode. Even though I thoroughly enjoy learning about history, some podcasts can be extremely dry and hard to listen to. So thank you (everyone at history this week) for choosing interesting events and people, but also making it enjoyable.
-
#chevpower#History this weekSo Glad to hear that your podcast is coming back Really enjoyed hearing your stories
-
webb347Love this history podcastI am so excited it’s coming back. I’ve been searching for a replacement since it went on pause and haven’t found anything quite as good at telling stories from different periods of history. Really engaging and informative!
-
This name not chosenSo happy the show is returning.This is my favorite podcast to listen to, informative, entertaining and well researched. Missed this podcast so much.
-
Sam the sky witchInformative but funI love this podcast. It’s such an easy listen and has become one of my go to podcasts for work and roadtrips. I love how there are so many different eras of history and they focus on topics that are less talked about.
-
ImbehindyoulmaoDo yourself a favor... TREAT yourself to this podcastThis podcast can be summed up in 3 words: Entertaining, eclectic, educational. Entertaining above all else. At no point, regardless of the topic, will you be bored. From Sally’s voice/inflection/passion, to the well-informed and enthusiastic guests, you are immediately engrossed. It feels like a warm, comfortable, story time around the campfire every week. The content is so interesting! Eclectic in how many topics it covers. Some topics will, by necessity, be more interesting than others based off of your interests and knowledge. However, you are bound to learn something new, and because it is so entertaining, even if you didn’t know you were interested in a given topic, you WILL BE after hearing the show! You will never think, “oh, we’re hearing about THAT again” because rather than generalities, it focuses on very specific events. Due to this focus on specific events, you will be an educated, better informed, human. They never retread the same, tired, general topics of World War II, or this, or that, which you studied in school, and watched a documentary, and saw a movie... it is FRESH information about various topics spanning hundreds of years, and will make your brain happy :D Most important of all, it effortlessly blends all these elements together, and properly represents what history is all about. Telling OUR story, the story of humanity, imperfect creatures with hopes, desires, and complex motivations. History should NEVER be rote, cold, and treated as though it were a documentation of sterile facts in a vacuum, detached from the very people and world that history is supposed to give a voice.

DeirdreHCCome Back!I loved this podcast, I miss it!
-
tcrazyhouse5Not nearly enough episodes!This is a great podcast. I’ve learned things I didn’t even know that I needed to know! I’m hoping you come back for many more seasons to continue to educate us. So much more to know!! Plus, Sally Helm has a great voice that’s easy to listen to Edit 6/21/24- PLEASE COME BACK WITH MORE!!
-
Artgal58Is this podcast history?This was a tremendously interesting podcast, one of my favorites. Will it be back or is it history?
-
Gray_❤️WHYWHY ARE YOU GONE!!! I loved listening to this podcast at the beach. It was so relaxing and Sally’s voice was so soothing it put me to sleep.
-
amoscbI miss this podcastI miss this podcast so much! What happened? It was interesting, well produced, and I used it all the time in my history classes. Any chance it will return?
