1.The good news is that they don't try to disguise their liberal slant. 2. If you want fresh content, look elsewhere - it seems that over 50% of episodes are repeats, but they don't tell you that ahead of time. 3. PARTICULARY annoying are the "ads" (trailers) for other Noiser and Wondery podcasts (e.g. Don't Cross Cat, & Liberty Lost, & Flesh and Code) that are prurient or libelous. I'm looking for history; if I want that (allegedly) "investigative" (really, scandalous or libelous) content I'll look for it but I don't want to be subjected to it episode after episode!

I stumbled across this podcast and it’s become one of my dailies. In these chaotic times, being reminded that chaos and conflict are part of who we’ve always been has been comforting— after all that’s happened, we’re still here. The length is perfect!

So you did really good on the one abt quintuplets but I think you shoulda got a perspective from a twin bc I am a twin and it didn’t rlly sound right so yah that’s my opinion but GREAT POD👏🏼

Well presented but at times skewed. I enjoy history and do think that real history should be passed on and not only white washed versions. I am also fine with listening to and learning other points of view and opinions however, I am getting tired of Lindsay’s often viewing history from a twenty first century lens, obvious bias in his writing and presentation, seemingly ashamed of America and often being much more of an activist than historian. History is best presented with understanding of the time period and without an activist’s personal agenda that confuses current and past history.

Nice sound effects but too many commercials. Try History Dispatches Podcast, its awesome.

The podcast covers many interesting topics and events but gets three stars for clear left wing bias in how it retells history.

As a history buff I have enjoyed the usually unknown bits of history this podcast presents. I was looking forward to that today in relationship to the founding of our nation. What was presented was offensive. I have loved the coverage of all the aspects of our nation such as the Juneteenth episode. The decision to totally ignore the history of the founding of one of the most consequential nations in history is unthinkable. It might reveal a bias in the team that is not good in handling true history. My continued subscription is in doubt

History Daily has quickly become one of my favorite podcasts. I love the daily format and the short, digestible episodes—perfect for fitting into a busy schedule. While there are a few too many ad breaks, I understand that’s part of how the show runs, and it doesn’t take away too much from the experience. The host does a fantastic job making each episode super engaging, even when the topic doesn’t initially grab my interest. More often than not, I find myself completely invested by the end. That’s the mark of a truly great podcast.

Fine coverage yet so many commercials for such a short episode.

Great quick podcast for someone who wants to sit down and listen to an informational story.

Incredible podcast. Impeccable research and seamless writing plus the narration of Graham adds so much gravity to each major moment. Though not a deep dive, each episode is packed tightly with relevant information and stories. If you don’t like adds, pay the $25 annual charge and you’re golden.

I love the history podcast but need whole picture. Today’s was a perfect example because arm chair economists want to claim Smoot-Hawley caused the Great Depression without admitting it was actually high interest rates to protect the gold standard and high taxes to balance the budget that caused the stock market crash and recession in 1932.

Good, but stop reposting

This is my favorite short podcast. I can assure you I would delete it if it was far left. History told accurately tends to have examples of all types of people, ideas, and decisions (good/bad). That being said, you will likely find episodes to fit a narrative and there are a few I just delete, but as a whole this is extremely solid.

One of the best podcasts. Great insight and fairly short and informative. Love it.

It’s my favorite podcast. Everyday I listen as soon I start working. Huge fan!! Hopefully you can do some history of Puerto Rico.

It’s a very interesting podcast and the guy has a great voice for radio but what makes it a 3 star instead of 4 or 5 is the liberal bias. From the small (using the ridiculous initialism “BCE” instead of the more accurate BC) to the fairly large (a fairly pitiful attempt to deflect blame from biden for the Afghanistan withdrawal) there are signs everywhere of the political bias.

Overall great content but a 16 minute show with 10 minutes of adds is a bit much.

Someone get me a addiction therapist I haven’t left my house in 2 weeks

On a daily basis, this is an incredible "flyover view" of some historical event, time, setting, etc. ... then April 1st rolls around. Without fail, I fall for it. So accustomed am I to the stellar research, I take for granted the high-quality sound and editing. No, Deb, there's nothing wrong with your earbuds. Nobody's asleep at the switch. Ugh. Every. Darned. Year. Score: Lindsay - won || Deb - didn't again! 😄

How!?!?

I would like to respond and shoot down some other reviews this podcast is NOT crazy left leaning like some people say it can oversimplify but it is not too biased also people are mad that there isn’t a episode on 9/11. I agree with but there was probably a old episode on it. Also ADDS!

Just tuned in. Loving the episodes that you have listed…. Looks like I have a lot to catch up on. Great content and history. Thank you

Very informative whenever an event I have never heard of appears in the running! I always love the choice of events! Keep on finding new ones!

Dear “not that” Lindsey graham, after listening to the episode on Rockefeller Foundation “philanthropy” I now wonder if you might actually be that other LG. Get yourself a copy of Jane Mayer’s Dark Money and learn how JDR used his wealth during the last gilded age to saddle us with a form of unelected unaccountable plutocratic power that has now devoured are country. Generally I like the program and as I can’t send unless I tap a star the bad rating applies to just that episode.

I enjoy all of the podcasts that Lindsay Graham produces, but this one is especially great because it packs so much information into a reasonable amount of time.

I have been listening to this podcast for a few months, I liked it enough to pay for a year of programming. It has been ads free until a couple days ago. I won’t renew my subscription if I have to listen to ads .

This is less a podcast, and more of a series of ads that has a story in between. It’s a 20 minute podcast and about half of it is ads. Yikes.

Had to stop listening after 2/20/25 episode in Karl Marx and the Communist Manifesto. He basically glorified him. Disgusting

Nothing but ads. If you want to know the history of greed this is a perfect podcast

This review is specifically related to episode 997, Saturday matinee, and the episode was from a show, entitled true Survivor stories. In this episode, the host and narrator described the occupation of an area in the city of Atlanta by violent climate extremists as an uprising and uses the word love to describe what was happening. During this incident, a police officer was shot and nearly died. I find the characterization of this incident appalling and I am offended that the show with air this episode. I usually am able to put up with the clearly left leanings of the shows host, Lindsay Graham, because I truly like the vast majority of the content and find the show interesting. However, the fact that this episode which glorifies violence against police officers was aired is a step too far. Therefore, I will no longer subscriber listen to any NOISER or Lindsey Graham show.

All you hear is ads. 2 minutes of talking, 2 minutes of ads, 2 minutes of talking and back to ads, etc. Sadly greed is ruining everything.

I recalled today why I stopped listening - too many adverts—ruins the listening experience. What a shame. Host is good and content is interesting.

As a public floor history teacher I would love to be able to recommend this to students, but who would listen, I’m eight minutes into a 14 minute episode and I’ve already heard three ads, what’s the point?

This is clearly a professionally done podcast. The narrator, the sound effects, the editing, etc: everything is very well done. However, the content is too short. There is barely any story telling. They just have time to discuss a couple of dates and loosely tie them together with a two sentences that summarize years or decades in between them. This would be much better as ‘History weekly’ episodes that would last 30 to 45 mins. And the deal breaker for me is how many ads are inserted. I get that podcasts have to cover their expenses but 6 mins of ads across a 15-min episode is very excessive. Overall, the negatives are significant enough that I am not going to be a regular.

The reasons I say this are because there are, oh, 8-10 MINUTES of ads in a 18 minute episode, so it doesn’t seem like they care about content. Also there are episodes behind a pay wall, which is effectively saying “Guys our ridiculous amount of ads aren’t enough, we have to charge for episodes.” The only thing putting this review at 3 stars is Lindsey Graham, he’s an incredible host.

I really like this podcast although it is very annoying having two minute ads every four minutes.

History Daily presents historical events in a concise and thoughtful way that is both interesting and entertaining.

I like this podcast. I don’t hear anything that shows he is biased. I like to listen to this podcast while my mom and I drive to appointments 💖

To those commenting about liberal bias. It’s history. History is not to be rewritten, because you feel it’s not fair to you, or, your political views. Get over yourselves.

I really like this podcast, but it seems like there’s an inordinate amount of commercials. I like his voice, and the content is interesting.

Great cast with engaging review. Ignore right wingers that conflate EVERYTHING with a political position.

I used to absolutely love this podcast. However, in the last year or so I have noticed that there are tons of recycled episodes. I realized that for the newer listeners, this is not an issue but for us OG’s it’s a little bit annoying.

Pod is ok but there is no rhythm due to the incredible amount of spots. For a 15 min show it’s wild. Prob 6 min is spots.

I love the podcast, it’s relaxing and very entertaining. Though, I do think it is a bit biased, for example most of the episodes just talk about stuff that’s happened in the last hundred years that are political arguments. Why not just stick to history and not put politics into this, and make the episodes a bit longer

Good history podcast but way too many commercials

Listening to the episode on leaving Afghanistan. Seems as if they only have the Democrats Truth in this episode, regardless of whether or not Joe Biden thought he had to do something he didn’t have to do what he did. Joe was the president! He could have chosen to postpone us leaving and protected Bogam and the Afghanis, who worked with us. This was part of his “legacy” a vanity project. The man got 13 soldiers killed at Abby gate. And has now decided not to acknowledge their death under his watch. He’s a sad sack, incredibly dishonorable and his administration is terrible. He chose poorly. It’s time for your history to actually be what happened and not what you’d like to spin it to believe happened. That is real journalism.

Leans very left/liberal bias. Has a political agenda not a fair representation of history

I used to listen, but can’t stomach the blatant lefty and woke agenda. They don’t even attempt to hide it anymore.

I used to enjoy this, but the bias leftward has become more obvious. The show started to lose me when they did an episode on Greta Thunberg. While she’s of some minor importance to current events, I think including her on a history podcast is a bit presumptuous. It’s only gotten more obvious since, and I think I’m just about done with it.
