Stuff You Missed in History Class - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I love this show, the hosts are fantastic, it’s great to hear these overviews of topics that often don’t get mentioned in a typical history class, but I absolutely have to dock some points for the current ad situation. Some ads are necessary of course, but right now we’re listening to a 40-50 minute episode and 15-20 of it is ad copy, sometimes the same ad twice in a row. It’s too much.

I have been a regular listener for over seven years. The breadth of topics keep me coming back. Holly and Tracy are delightful and bring such energy to the past!

A lot of people are bent out of shape about the hosts, but I’ve been listening to the Holly and Tracy episodes for years now and they do a great job at telling a story to a point where you can have a mental image playing along with the podcast. The topics are great and Holly and Tracy’s episodes are much longer in length than the early episodes which I feel makes it more comprehensive. They also connect historical figures to other episodes which is a nice added touch. They cover any history, not leaving out any topic due to bias which is hard to find. If people find them annoying they should go listen to a red pill podcast or some other rage bait that would make them feel more comfortable being miserable about small things all the time.

I actually hated history in school. It was so dry. I love how these stories to a deep dive into something specific. I love the hosts and I learn so much! Thank you for this podcast. I recommend it to everyone.

I understand some ads are necessary for a free podcast. But this show has so many ads it’s egregious. This show and the hosts are not nearly interesting enough to sit through so many ads. Again: I don’t mind ads on a free program; there are SO MANY ads here it’s just gross. And greedy.

I’ve been listening to this show for years, and it lives up to its name. I’ve learned so much about history that I definitely didn’t learn in school! However, there are just sooo many ads that it makes it difficult to really dig into any given topic. I understand that ads are necessary for making this show happen, but the amount of ads is just too, too much. Some of the ads are super loud and annoying as well, and it totally takes me out of the story. Overall, the ads are interfering with the show’s quality and I wish there were fewer ad breaks.
