Disastrous History: A Disasters of History Podcast - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I’ve been binge-listening to this podcast while I work and Anthony is a great story-teller! Every episode builds on the historical & factual details that contributed to each disaster but, as a historian myself, I really appreciate that Anthony takes the initiative to provide additional background information that enriches the stories (specifically, I’m thinking of the history of the Great Lakes shipping industry [Edmund Fitzgerald] and balloon-frame construction and fire behavior [NY, SF & Chicago Great Fire episodes] among others). I also really enjoy the conversational aspect of this podcast; rather than adhering strictly to the subject matter outline, Anthony is willing to editorialize which reflects his comfort with the subjects and his audience. Please keep up the great work!

This well researched narration of historical disasters is exactly what I’ve been looking for. It’s dense with cohesively presented information, the technical details are educational, and the talent of your storytelling guides ones imagination and builds emotion as the event unfolds. Thank you for your great work, I hope you continue to create this fascinating content.

I think this is an amazing podcast. It’s so interesting to hear about these disasters from the perspective of a disaster investigator who actually knows that he is talking about. And I love the fact that he allows his personality to shine through. It’s like listening to a friend. Keep up the good work!!

So glad to see that new episodes are back. If there is still a way to support to get more content, please tell us!

Great story telling, excellent detail, I learn something every time I listen. I listen with my 10 year old son and we love it!ll
