What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I am an avid audible book listener and stumbled across this podcast after finishing a book series and trying to decide what to start next. I have been binge-listening ever since! I am so wowed by the information I am receiving, and in such a professional and clean series! It’s a bonus to learn that Drew and George are local for me! Hope to meet at a conference or society meeting one day. In the meanwhile, I’ll be continuing my binge until I’ve listened to every episode and can start over again. Thanks to the Guys…you two are awesome! Thanks so much for helping me take my research to the next level.

There are a ton of genealogy podcasts out there. Some are very good but most are pretty amateurish and poorly produced. This is one of the best. If you have any interest in genealogy, this podcast is a must. The guys are very knowlegeable and interesting and even the slight bit of corniness adds to their charm. The podcast quality is as good as any podcast in any area of interest. They love genealogy and are both great communicators. They cover a broad array of topics. Their content has allowed me to break some brick walls and understand the DNA impact on genealogy. Give this a listen and you won’t be disappointed.

I look forward to every new podcast! I learn something new about my genealogy hobby (obsession?) with every episode and recommend this podcast for any level genealogist! Informative, entertaining, and most importantly, motivating!

I really enjoy listening to the latest genealogy news from Drew and George. The interviews with other genealogists are great. I have learned a lot in the 5 plus years that I have been listening.
