For the Ages: A History Podcast - Podcast Rankings and reviews

This podcast is outstanding and presents history in a way that is a pleasure to listen to. Mr Rubenstein is concise and interesting. I hope someday he decides to cover the topic of the Haitian revolution and help us understand how it related to our country and the French Revolution. At 60 years old I should have learned about Toussaint Louverture long ago and the ways that Napoleon Bonaparte, Thomas Jefferson and the Louisiana Purchase factor into his life and the history of Saint Domingue. This podcast could do it better than most. Keep up the good work, Mr Rubenstein!

If you think history is boring, try listening to a few of these podcasts. There is no better way to appreciate a topic than listening to people who are passionate about the topic. When those people are knowledgeable as well it is a jackpot. Thank you New York Historical Society, I love your museum and now I love this podcast, too.

I have listened to a lot of history podcasts, and far too many of them are ideologically or egotistically driven. This is neither. It’s solid objective interviewing by an extremely well educated and informed person. Even if I’m not initially interested in the subject of a podcast, I will listen anyway, and come away with new interests, new information while being very entertained in the process.

David Rubenstein provides the most comprehensive interview in each brief—easily digested—podcast. I am appreciative of all episodes and learn so much from each.
Thank you to Mr. Rubenstein and all production staff!
