History Unplugged Podcast - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I love this podcast! Each episode provides research-based information about historical events, giving not only facts but context in which the events took place. I particularly appreciate the author interviews. I’ve listened to every episode, and I’m always happy to see a new episode pop up in the latest episodes feed! Keep up the great work.

I've learned about so many moments in history that I was never taught in school or college. I look forward to every new episode and enjoy going back 4-5 years to episodes I had not yet listened to. For example. The recent story on General Geoffrey Keys, was such a moment of learning. I enjoy these on my long commute to work.

I got hooked on this a few weeks ago with the series that they did on the Revolutionary War. It’s an excellent podcast that gives nuanced perspectives that are needed when reporting and analyzing history.

One of my favorite podcasts . Scott possesses a broad knowledge base of subjects with refreshing, varied views on the interesting topics covered in the show.

The episode on the Christian Bible is simplistic and misrepresented. Codex and printing were dependent upon literacy originating with the Jews. See Botticini, et al. “The Chosen Few” for a more accurate history. Jewish communities had 90 o/o literacy whereas early Christian had 10o/o. The book in conversation through the Reformation was the Hebrew Bible or Torah which influenced the antagonism and hatred of the early Church beginning with Constantine. Later the Dutch Republic and the American Puritans focused on Torah not Christian Scripture. Likewise with other cultures in North America.
