I love this podcast and enjoy listening and if you are looking for a new story I would recommend the candy bar craze during the Great Depression it’s super interesting

Even when I think I may not be interested in the topic I’m always proved wrong. The story telling and narration are perfect. Love.

I’m 5and I love you 😘

I like this series but not the commercials, so I signed up for a subscription. Guess what? A paid subscription still includes commercials. Please consider commercial-free for paying subscribers.

You make my week with every episode 🩷 Thanks for all the hard work. It is so appreciated!!!

My absolute favorite podcast ever!😍🩷🩷.

I’m only nine and I love listening to this podcast on road trips,naps and anywhere personally I love listening to this podcast 😁👍👍🦋🌸it just makes me very happy

I’m only 9 and I love this podcast it’s so good my favorites are Lincoln county war, and Bonnie and Clyde final ride bye!

Listen to many pods all week. This one is the one I anticipate the most. Never know what’s next. Always awesome!

This was one of my favorite podcasts, but I absolutely cannot tolerate the number of ads. It’s become ridiculous and it’s a real shame.

I love this podcast so so much!

I have loved this podcast for YEARS. Sally is great. I love the story telling & I’m always intrigued & learning. Unfortunately ever since the show has been back there are so many ads per episode & it’s a little disappointing - Other than that I am obsessed with this podcast🙌🏼

So informative and well produced. Look forward to listening more.

I’ve been listening to this podcast since its inception and it’s good but what is going on with all the ads lately???? Do we need to donate money??? Willing to donate to not have to listen to 8 minutes of ads.

I’m 14 yrs old and LOVE this podcast.Its like a safe space for me, I love history and the voices and sound effects, the way she talks, everything is perfect. The episodes are all unique and interesting, like the listener is a fish and it’s a hook. I have ADHD and everything on this still keeps me involved. This podcast rlly understands me like no other. SO HAPPY ITS BACK! Sad to hear that Sally won’t be narrerating some of the episodes now though, also the changed format style isn’t as good as before but it’s fine! :3

Just an insane amount of ads for such a short show.

They are great but maybe less making white peoples feel bad. There are a lot of positive things to cover.

What a mistake by the history channel to have canceled this show when it has a talent like Sally narrating. Luckily someone brought it back. The research and presentation are top notch, but I’m always a bit disappointed when there is a guest narrator. They are good but Sally is great. Thanks

I miss the old format before they rebooted this show! The combination of scripted narration and interview excerpts gave the show a quick pace, and made every story compelling. The ticking sound effect gave a sense of suspense and urgency to every episode. Even though many stories were unfamiliar to me or from segments of history I didn’t think I was interested in, I found myself captivated by the storytelling. Now with the long interview format, I get bored and stop listening halfway through. The show doesn’t give me a reason to be interested anymore.

Few people understand how much work goes into each show. You present each show to the listener on a professional level. My favorite is -The last regular day in Pompeii. But sometimes you upset me. The episode about "Two fathers and one fight" is of course funny and nevertheless scary for the future. Funny because it is about the church... and scary for the future because all moral and ethical standards simply disappear.

I love all your podcasts and am so glad you have returned with new weekly content! This particular one about Masanori Murakami was exceptional. I knew about Murakami-San, but had no idea what all he went through or that he really wanted to play in America. Thanks for another great show!

We absolutely this podcast but it’s a bit different since it came back. It’s not quite the same format of storytelling. Hope it gets back to the way it was. Really disappointed to hear that Sally won’t be narrating some of the episodes now.

Good podcast - enjoy the format.

Yall are back!!! It has been a minute! Y’all are my saving grace! Xoxo

This has got to be one of the most interesting History podcasts available. Love it!

The loud ads for football and other obnoxious ads make this podcast completely unlistenable. Ruined a good thing.

I love this podcast. I’m not sure why the show went away for awhile but I’m so happy you are all back. Thank you for all your hard work!!

I am so excited you are back!!! Seriously, I listened every episode twice! Your team is so incredibly talented! Welcome back! 🫡

Best podcast out there foranyone interested in a broad range of histories

Thankful that this podcast is back. I felt despondent when it ended but didn’t unsubscribe hoping one day it would be back. This is the day when it’s back and I’m looking forward to more seasons full of history lessons that keep is grounded

So happy to have you back!!!!

So excited the podcast is back! I was hoping it would return. My son and I love to listen to it together. Can’t wait to tell him

This is one of my favorite podcasts. Wonderful historical stories told in such a way that I never lose interest! I am thrilled that the podcast is back, and I hope that there are many more seasons to come!

Good to hear Sally Helm again! Looking forward to the new season!

I’m so glad you guys are coming back, this is my favorite historical podcast

So glad to see you’re coming back! This was my middle school son’s go to podcast and we loved listening to it together. Thanks for returning!

I’m glad you’re coming back. I used to start my Monday mornings listening to History this Week.

Stop the cussing please. History does not need people cussing about it

I am only 9 years old but still its very interesting

Finally. The easiest way to learn both obscure and well known parts of history with a voice that gently guides you along.

EDIT: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I'm so excited for you guys to come back! Absolutely my favorite podcast I've ever listened to. I'm crying happy tears 😭🥰 I absolutely love this podcast. So many different topics. Done so professionally. I have listened to a lot of podcasts in my life and I can honestly say I don’t have one bad thing to note. So, enjoy your break. But please come back when you’re done 😩😩

This podcast not only entertained me during long drives to visit my sick mother, but I also learned so much and fell in love with history! This is hands down my favorite podcast! I’m SO glad this podcast is coming back! The best news ever!

I am so excited to see there’s a new episode. Even though I thoroughly enjoy learning about history, some podcasts can be extremely dry and hard to listen to. So thank you (everyone at history this week) for choosing interesting events and people, but also making it enjoyable.

So Glad to hear that your podcast is coming back Really enjoyed hearing your stories

I am so excited it’s coming back. I’ve been searching for a replacement since it went on pause and haven’t found anything quite as good at telling stories from different periods of history. Really engaging and informative!

This is my favorite podcast to listen to, informative, entertaining and well researched. Missed this podcast so much.

I love this podcast. It’s such an easy listen and has become one of my go to podcasts for work and roadtrips. I love how there are so many different eras of history and they focus on topics that are less talked about.

This podcast can be summed up in 3 words: Entertaining, eclectic, educational. Entertaining above all else. At no point, regardless of the topic, will you be bored. From Sally’s voice/inflection/passion, to the well-informed and enthusiastic guests, you are immediately engrossed. It feels like a warm, comfortable, story time around the campfire every week. The content is so interesting! Eclectic in how many topics it covers. Some topics will, by necessity, be more interesting than others based off of your interests and knowledge. However, you are bound to learn something new, and because it is so entertaining, even if you didn’t know you were interested in a given topic, you WILL BE after hearing the show! You will never think, “oh, we’re hearing about THAT again” because rather than generalities, it focuses on very specific events. Due to this focus on specific events, you will be an educated, better informed, human. They never retread the same, tired, general topics of World War II, or this, or that, which you studied in school, and watched a documentary, and saw a movie... it is FRESH information about various topics spanning hundreds of years, and will make your brain happy :D Most important of all, it effortlessly blends all these elements together, and properly represents what history is all about. Telling OUR story, the story of humanity, imperfect creatures with hopes, desires, and complex motivations. History should NEVER be rote, cold, and treated as though it were a documentation of sterile facts in a vacuum, detached from the very people and world that history is supposed to give a voice.
