I love your podcast it’s so funny and informative

Great show - really well presented and full of interesting facts.

One of my absolute favorites! If you love history, or even if you are just occasionally interested in it, this is one of the most engaging podcasts out there.

If someone say the podcast just turns into gibberish they should be ashamed of themselves because they are not that smart or paying attention 😠 P.S. I love history but it gets boring adding comedy is a chef’s kiss

I love listening to this show. I appreciate your efforts to keep it diverse!

Love the show so giving a full 5 stars. But having issues with the subscriber edition. Continually getting notifications “this episode can’t be played on this device” despite have a full subscription. Unsure if this is a BBC issue or Apple?

I really enjoy how Greg takes a specific topic and delves into it with an expert. Have I been excited by every episode? Of course not. But the detail and production are superior every time. A good listen that feels like 20 min, not 45

A couple days ago I found this podcast and I LOVE IT!! Would recommend to history lovers

I can only picture freya riding the squirrel I’m sorry but like she is so holy and blah blah blah and she is riding a squirrel 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Originally found it funny, history and humor, different format which was great. Then it started with all the Radio Edits. The comedy went downhill after that. And then the subscriber only episodes started. Or everything that comes out is early access for subscribers. Unless you want to pay for a subscription you can’t get much from the podcast anymore. And the recent episodes haven’t provided enough entertainment to make me want to subscribe. Total Bummer!

I love a good history lesson with a dose of humor, and Your Dead to Me does it so well.

But I haven’t heard the episode’s

Amazing spontaneity and lightness coupled with a well researched historical narrative. How do they do it?

I absolutely love this podcast! I learn so much from each episode and laugh my backside off in the process. Thank you so much!

I just found this podcast in March 2025 and I am so upset I didn’t find it sooner! Perfection. I would rate 10 if I could. -a new fan.

I enjoy this show and I have no idea why - in however many years it’s been running - that they haven’t fixed the jarring jump in volume that occurs when shifting to The NUANCE WINDOW!!!!!!!

I love history and I really appreciate this podcast take on it! It’s good to know that humans have hardly changed at all over the millennia😁

I love this show and have listened to all the episodes so I was disappointed to see that the new season is behind a paywall. Come on, BBC… you can do better

It’s a fun show.

...please, please, please do not pronounce Medici Medeeeci. The accent is on the first syllable. It's MEdici. Anything else is cringeworthy!

Showtunes! Love it. Banger of an ending to a great show.

Edutainment, they call em

This show is perfect for you if you love humor but struggle with history (like me). I’ve been listening for years and thoroughly enjoy the interactions between Greg Jenner (the host), the guest historian, and the guest comedian. It’s a great way to laugh while learning.

Title says it all. Not much more I can add.

I love this show and I'm so happy you did an episode on Broadway, but how could you cover the history of Broadway and not mention Jonathan Larson's impact on the industry? Countless theatre artists cite Rent as the reason they got into theatre. Including Lin Manuel Miranda, who you brought up multiple times. To not mention it is irresponsible and does a huge disservice to his legacy. And erases the struggles and contributions of the queer community which helped to reinvigorate Broadway through works such as Rent, which paved the way for shows like Spring Awakening and Hamilton to be created in the first place.

This is a really great show. Greg and his guests are charming and knowledgeable. My only gripe, and this is true of every BBC show (looking at you, Now Show), is that each segment is punctuated by an introduction like “THE NUANCE WINDOW” that is entirely too loud. I just don’t get how the BBC can’t balance the audio on any program, this included. I’m sorry that I’m complaining about this on your podcast, Greg.

This show is incredible. I love history but sometimes it can be dry. This show makes learning about a variety of topics interesting and funny. Several of the episodes are things I never thought to learn about. I’m hooked and always looking for were to get more of Greg and his guests.

The combination of expert historians and talented comedians along with Greg Jenner ( who is a lot of both) makes this podcast brilliant.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!!!!!!!!!$&@&$🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Make an episode about skibidi toilet

This is a very great idea. It is made for history lovers who want it to be light and upbeat. But with the comedian and historian are really hit or miss.

“CE / BCE” - you still haven’t changed the starting date for the numbering, so renaming BC / AD is just annoying virtue-signalling. Most, but not everything, on the BBC is just as revisionist/PC. Give it a rest, will you?

I love this podcast - I just discovered it and I’ve been marathoning all the episodes. Love the combination of scholarship and humor. And I love that they choose guests/scholars who embody the cultures they’re talking about! Really adds to the experience! Keep it up!

I listen to this while I work in an archive. It’s the perfect balance of entertainment and education- a rare thing!

Always a delight! Learn something and be entertained.

Put this in when I go to sleep, during the day, anytime I can. Best episode is the Agatha Christie one.

The best history pod, bar none. You’ll laugh, you’ll learn, you’ll be entertained. OK?

I love learning about interesting history along side hilarious comedians. I get to learn and laugh, it’s the best of both worlds!

Lighthearted, educational, humorous.. and lovely easy listening. I’m having a blast going through all past episodes. If only all history teachers would use this method to teach history, then we’d have a generation of historians and history lovers!

I absolutely love this podcast! What a fun way to learn a bit more about history. Sometimes, the comedians are trying too hard to be funny and to be the centre of the show, but the majority of the episodes are really, really great! Greg Jenner is a wonderful host!

Fun, funny and you get to learn a little history, often about quirky or lessor known historical figures. You will laugh a lot and learn a lot!

Excellent

All of them fun!

Mozart podcast was fantastic!!!

I cannot get enough

I really love this podcast. It is I think my favorite of all the podcasts I listen to. I am about to listen to the Mozart episode. Can’t wait! I note that this is the 11th episode, with new material, and final episode of this, the 7th season of the podcast. Perhaps I am mistaken, but this seems like a much shorter series than previous series? So for that reason I am bummed. I look forward to the next series and hope Mr. Jenner has time to give us more content as the year progresses. Thanks Steven

Loved this pod for several years. This ep may be the best yet. Adding the orchestra was amazing. Hearing the music while it was being discussed made it come alive. As an American, I hadn’t had a lot of exposure to David O’Doherty, but he was hilarious while fitting in perfectly to the theme. Wow!

I happened upon this podcast when searching up more information on Napoleon in his early years and was instantly hooked. Not only does it cover topics I don’t find very common, but it also covers topics that even though are well-known the historians always have new information that you won’t get from a book or documentary. I always learn something new. I love the comedians because they add an element of not only comedy but viewpoints and reactions you wouldn’t get from just straight forward historians talking history. And the historians they do find always have really good stories about the topic that you wouldn’t necessarily hear otherwise. I highly suggest this for any adult who wants to learn more about history and has a sense of humor.

Much potential but the podcast degenerates into gibberish and becomes silly

It was excruciating. Amira, the historian, never laughed at Nabil’s jokes. That should have been your clue to edit him out. It was truly offensive, I can only imagine what his shows are like, sexist and coprophiliac. And reading the reviews, it seems you’ve never learned your lesson. Edit: I tried again. Listened to the Queen of Sheba episode. It was unlistenable. Sadia was gross. Why do you keep bringing people of this low quality and pair them with serious scholars? They have no place here. Also you, the host, your laugh is forced and embarrassing. Expected better from the BBC. That’s it, I’m done.
