Mark Palmer does a great job at explaining history in a way that is accessible yet not dumbed down. We listen as a family, and while my 8yo daughter can’t understand everything, she still doesn’t mind when I put it on. My 11yo enjoys listening and so do I. As a non American I find the show very agreeable in that it’s neither overly patriotic nor 1619ish. Hope to hear many more episodes!

This show has quickly become one of my favorite podcasts to listen to in the car. Mark chooses great topics and is very easy to follow while providing all the relevant statistics and evidence to support his claims.

I’ve really appreciated every one of Mark’s episodes. I like how he gives a detailed back story to get you to the meat of the episode. He also shares a lot of new information I’d never heard before. Highly recommend. So far I haven’t noticed a political slant that would have sent me running.

I just discovered this podcast, and I am obsessed! I teach world history, and my knowledge has greatly expanded because of this podcast. I especially loved the scramble for Africa podcast because I am teaching that topic this week. I 100% recommend this podcast for any history teachers and lovers of history!
