History Dispatches - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Father and son storytellers, Matt and McKinley, have great chemistry together, painting vivid and captivating stories that feel fresh and up to date. It’s like hearing friends tell a cool story at the local pub. I can’t wait to hear more!

I just finished the Rosa Parks episode. In 20 minutes McKinley changed my perspective on how a simple story of refusing to give up a bus seat is underpinned by decades of oppression. How history is told is important and Matt and McKinley will do the stories of the past properly.

I just discovered History Dispatches and binged at least a dozen episodes. I especially loved the eps on the head of Oliver Cromwell and the Emu Wars. Matt and McKinley make a great team. I love that they are father and son. You can tell that they must be close. The topics are exactly the kind of subjects that I would want in a history podcast. Some I have heard about and many that I haven’t. Now I’m going to check out Matt Breen’s other podcast The Explorers. Thanks guys!

I’ve been a longtime listener to The Explorers podcast and a big fan of Matt Breen. I’m excited that he is finally doing a daily history podcast now, and I love that he’s bringing his son McKinley in on the action! This one is a must listen folks!
