Ancient History Fangirl - Podcast Rankings and reviews

A friend recommended this podcast to me and even though I already have 30-40 podcasts in rotation, I picked this one up. Well I’m now behind in all my other podcasts because I just can’t stop listening to this one!

Genn and Jenny tell these historical events and describe the people and places and circumstances in a wonderful narrative that keeps you on the edge of your seat. They really nail good storytelling but also their commentary is exactly how I’d talk about this stuff with my friends. If my friends were as into this stuff as well haha. I also like how they take time to break down some of the sources and describe what that really means to a modern war so we can appreciate the settings and circumstances even more.

My only criticism has nothing to do with this podcast and everything to do with my anger that these podcast algorithms did not push this one as a recommendation to me! It’s 100% the perfect podcast for me. Get your $#*+ together Apple, Overcast, Spotify, etc! 😊❤️

Ancient History Fangirl is one of my Top 3 favorite podcasts! I’ve been listening to this podcast for three or so years and I look forward to every new episode. I’ve learned so much about the ancient world through these two amazing podcasters. I love the human lens they bring to the subject matter and the attention to detail. They make me laugh out loud with their sense of humor, especially since my humor is that of a seventh grader’s ;) I can only hope this podcast never ends.

This podcast gives a wonderful detailed and often times humorous way of looking at historical events. Each episode is well written, well researched and wonderful delivered. Both of the host make you wish you where sitting with them, having a glass of wine and discussing historical events together. Highly recommend it to all history loving peeps!!

I am a huge history nerd and this podcast was a life saver when I was working king desk hours and got tired of music (thankfully I was allowed to put my headphones in since I wasn’t interacting with the public). This podcast was something new and exciting for me and they way they tell the stories was so entertaining! I love their banter. I’m desperately trying to get caught up on all their episodes since I had the misfortune of finding this so late, but I’m enjoying every second of it!
