Dan Snow's History Hit - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Chapeau to Dan Snow! I’m a long time listener that has appreciated and enjoyed so many of his podcasts but the recent accounts of the men and stories of Endurance are superb! Shackleton of course, but finally honoring the men behind the headlines, Tom Crean is truly a man’s man. Born without advantage but always stepping forward placing his own safety behind his teammates. History is more than the shiny wrapper, peeling back the layers gives such a deeper understanding of what it was really like, thanks Dan Snow.
More Please!

Exceptionally well researched and presented episodes about aspects of history I often know little or nothing about, but which affect our modern lives. A joy to listen to.

History Hit provides informational podcasts related to diverse aspects of human history, ranging from periods of ancient, to medieval to more modern. Each distills historical, factual information into accessible episodes covering a range of important events & times in history.
I am currently listening to the excellent series on D Day & find it truly fascinating! I am grateful for its depth & breadth, & especially its inclusion of the personal stories of those who were there! Thank you to the many who make the history podcasts excellent!

Dan has the very best combination of deep knowledge and almost school kid passion for history in all its era and forms I’ve ever known. Whenever I want to lose myself and learn at the same time, History Hit is where I go.

Thank you for all you do to keep the importance and joy of history alive, Dan. From a fellow North American-UK dual citizen currently joining you from North Carolina.

Generally a decent show, I don’t listen to every episode; that being said, the Harris/Trump episode was soooo blatantly political and staged I almost threw up. There is a place for Left and Right political bias to exist, in fact whole podcast series are created around one side or the other. A History podcast should have no space for outrageous clichés peddling one politician over another. I was prepared to hear a historian put an interesting spin on the earth-shattering events of the last month… instead Dan Snow took the mask off and revealed to the world that he is just another tool manipulating reality. Unless there’s some kind of balancing episode in the next week from another perspective, I’ll be deleting this and possibly other ‘History Hit’ podcasts. Stick to what you say you are, don’t pretend. We are all tired of the lies. Edit: as expected, no balancing episode dropped to alleviate the extreme bias pushed in the Harris vs Trump episode. Unsubscribed.

Fantastic show but host and guests speech are sped up so much in production that podcasts can be difficult to parse and follow. Imitators of the “chipmunk” style of History Hit are starting to proliferate. Please, slow it down.
