Thank you for the fun and enlightening episode on idioms. John Haggadorn is the “cat’s meow” as both a researcher and narrator! I appreciate his sense of curiosity and wonder and share his love of the English language. Thank you for making my day! Catherine

I have been loving on this pod cast for some time now! Just went through the episode on Robert Rogers and the Silver Madonna. Keep up the good work John !!The various stories have covered across many boundaries! If you are a lover of history and a good story you should give this pod cast a try. Love it and can’t wait to get on to the next episode. Thank you!! Rick from St Louis MO!!

Have been listening to a couple of the 1001 channels. It is informative, amusing, and enlightening. Keep the podcast coming. I drive a lot of miles and these keep me attentive between my stops. Love the content and clarity of the stories.

Willie D from Tennessee · Apr 2024

I used to enjoy this podcast but it has become more and more right wing, both in comments and topics. Most comments are done slyly, but it’s clear which way this podcaster leans and the influence he’s trying to peddle.

I used to love this podcast until I listened to his Shark episodes… I’m not a Shark lover but these podcasts were a farce. He kept saying he wanted to give both sides of the story- but then he actually talks about a state getting on the “shark protection bandwagon”. That lost me and I had to delete the episode and unfollow. Let’s be clear- anyone can do a podcast these days. If one is talking history then it is vital to be professional and actually give all sides without bias. Once you cross that line- even with the subject of Sharks- you start to sound like any other hack. Sadness…. I’m still stunned that it was a Shark episode that made me drop this one… wow.
