A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.
As a longtime podcast listener who loves both comedy and history, I’m honestly embarrassed that I’ve only just discovered The Dollop. I absolutely love it. I was practically peeing my pants during the Ronald Reagan episode—and at the same time, I was genuinely fascinated by how much I learned about his early years. The Cubs broadcasting, the astrology, and then discovering how astrology later played a role in his presidency?! WHAT. And Spencer Tracy! 😂 I also had no idea just how much of a womanizer Reagan was, or how skillfully he manipulated the Hollywood system to benefit himself. By the end I was basically thinking, “What a complete jerk and narcissist,” while simultaneously being completely fascinated by the history. It’s the perfect combination of hilarious and genuinely educational. I’m officially hooked and now wondering what other gems I’ve been missing all these years.
My favorite podcast. Checks all of the boxes for me, informative, leftist, comedic. A lot of these stories should be taught in American schools but you won’t find a shred of ‘em. Check out Gareth’s other podcast point VS point for a good laugh. Keep up the good work boys, been listening since 2017. Anybody complaining about them being uninformed or anything like that is a moron and should be ignored. These podcasts are extensively researched and all of the sources are listed so you can go and research it yourself.
Super funny. Every episode is a must listen. A friendly request to improve the audio of guests on the Past Times. They must be coming in remotely via zoom or some app. They often sound much different and from a poor quality connection, and it’s too distracting. Send them a mic with a return shipping box and label or something.
You never knew history was this funny…don’t try more than two episodes unless you’re ready to be hooked. Dave Anthony has single-handedly given me permission to stand up for what I believe. Gareth Reynolds reps the Midwest—but will straight up make you piss yourself. My only request would be more reverse dollops. The bananas backwards podcasts are *chefs kiss* flawless. Muah! Dave is a shockingly satisfying recipient of whatever knowledge Gareth spills—and the unexpected table turn is so frickin hot.
i love history, specifically micro-histories, so when i found this podcast i was genuinely intrigued, and don’t get my wrong i enjoy the actual stories. however the interminable crude jokes are nearly insufferable. not to mention the obvious political posturing and contempt for modern amenities by grown men who’s success is dependent upon said amenities is mortifying.
Was introduced to the show via the Cautionary Tales collaboration, but I only made it through 10 minutes of the Dollop. One of the hosts is really loud and the other host basically whispers through the podcast like he's trying ASMR. If you crank the volume, 10 seconds later your eardrums will explode while EVERYONE STARTS SHOUTING. The audio quality is also mediocre to poor. It sounds like they are recording on cheap mics without a robust lower register, so it feels like you're listening to them on super treble. Can't speak a lot to the content. The sound was so poor that I couldn't get past it. However, in the few minutes I listened, the whispery host tried to equate Winston Churchill with Hitler. This is the kind of thing an idiot would say when trying to sound provocative. I found my brief experience aggravating in every sense. Giving two stars instead of one because they were funny on Cautionary Tales, so go listen to that instead.
