Based on a True Story - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This is a solid 5 star podcast. The host is knowledgeable, the guests are absolutely expert on their subject and the production quality is very high. Even when the subject is something I am not really that interested in I find this podcast to be both entertaining and educational.

This is a valuable show and a bit underrated when you consider that Americans watch more movies than we read books. Dan takes the time to bridge the gaps between Hollywood entertainment and historical facts. If you want to learn history from a relatable point of reference, this is a must-subscribe show for you!

Great show, lots of info. All the guests seem very knowledgeable about their subjects, and are quite entertaining. My issue is it sounds like some of these guests are recording their responses in a phone booth circa 1989.

Titanic comparison was down very well. I was quite impressed with his story and timelines. However, learn to pronounce names correctly please. Zodiac - Melvin Belli pronounced as Belly? Come on. Good show. Enjoyable, informative and takes you into the story “feel” quite well.
