Dark History - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Listening to Dark History is like sitting down with your coolest friend who just happens to have unearthed all the skeletons in history’s closet—literally and figuratively. Bailey Sarian doesn’t just spill the tea; she brews it strong, pours it into a vintage cup, and serves it with a side of ‘how-did-I-not-know-this’ facts.

Her grounded approach is refreshing—no political soapboxes, no religious rabbit trails, just the raw, sometimes unsettling truth. She’s like a modern-day history detective who guides you through the weird, wild, and downright shady past without ever losing her chill.

The best part? Every episode leaves me clutching my coffee and diving headfirst into even darker rabbit holes. Who knew uncovering the skeletons of history could be so entertaining? 10/10 recommend—but maybe don’t listen in the dark unless you want to question everything you thought you knew about the world.

Brava to Bailey and the whole Dark History team!

Bailey Sarian stands out among all podcast hosts I have encountered. I learn something every episode, but she also makes me laugh every episode with her comical, quirky remarks that feel unscripted and like you're listening to a friend tell you a story. She keeps the content engaging and keeps her episodes at a relatively digestible length. Much recommended.

Six months ago, I discovered this podcast after a severe injury. I was unable to work and had many nights of restless sleep. Bailey got me through this time with her wit and wisdom and I didn’t ever feel lonely while laying around and waiting for the healing process to end. Thank you, Bailey and Joan, for being the BFFs I needed!

I love Bailey she is a great story teller. I watched her YouTube channel all the time at work (I work night shift) and loved it. When I ran out of Murder Mystery and Makeup videos I started on Dark History and fell in love. The stories she chose are always super informative and mind blowing definitely not stuff you learned in school. I love history and this is a super fun way to learn new things.
