This is one of my favorite daily podcasts. I especially love the varied lengths of each episode allowing one to choose episodes based on available time choose. Most are long enough to be substantive and brief to always have time to play another episode. Also, as an American it is refreshing to see the world and history from a non USA perspective. And please feel free to bash America when it’s deserved. Our has-been empire needs to be humbled as much as your’s once did. Hopefully we’ll all be better for it.

Brutal and Important

I just listened to the Jersey episode. One of your best yet. The interviews were especially well done.

Love the in-depth dives on each show!

Whoever created the opening theme is a genius. It’s amazing.

Really enjoy your pod. However please don’t ever host Flint Dibble again. He is a race grifter who broadly accuses anyone who disagrees with him as supporting “wHiTe sUpReMaCy” born no doubt of some weird internalized guilt he feels. And this is coming from a black man! Anyways really like your show. The longer the series the better. I notice they are longer now than when you started, but I say the longer the merrier!

Honestly prefer Tristian Hughes (ancients) and Biblical Time Machine with Dave R and guests. Not only voice mixing / timbre but quality of guests. Would also recommend The rest is history. Episode of popes / Paul / Peter is absolutely awful.

Hey Maxxy, the people in the White House are trying to END a war. Why do you Europeans want to continue the killing🤦‍♂️

I found this podcast by accident. Each week there is a wonderful walk through history told by Dan or his guests.

Good podcast, except for the commercials at the beginning.

Not only do I learn about history, but I learned you can hit one of those arrow thingies and zip right through your commercials! I know you don’t do this for volunteer work and must spend many hours of research. I almost feel obliged to listen to your commercials because of all the hard work you put in. But like I said that little arrow makes a big difference. It even works on other podcasts. You proved i to me that you’re never too old to learn.

Dan is a great host combining informative interviews and concise descriptions of events in an entertaining manner.

Love all of Dan’s documentaries and this podcast does not disappoint!

I find your commercials at the beginning of your podcast irritating. Why should I listen to commercials just so you can make money? Not listen to your expert to quibble about words like what is or is not civilization. This whole woke generation of so-called scholars is irritating. Pretending to be about truth and science and knowledge and yet definitely not making any sort of value judgment according to the standards that exist today. It’s irritating and not worth listening to.

I am a big fan of Dan Snow. I enjoy listening to his History Hit podcast. I am also a subscriber to the History Hit channel. Dan’s podcast is informative and concise.

But a tryhard host. Oh and also: NO ONE CAME HERE TO HEAR ABOUT ASSASSINS CREED, SHILLS!

New to this podcast and I love it. I appreciate all of the different topics, not my high school history class. I also enjoy the tie-in with books. Love to listen to Dan as I sew, garden, cook, and relax. Thanks for an informative and interesting program.

Agenda

Dan’s History Hit is a great podcast. However, be aware he has a lot of uninformed biased content that tends to lean to the politically hard left. He would be my favorite podcaster if he would be more moderate. His (TDS) Trump Derangement Syndrome is obvious - if you listen to older podcast you can analyze his predictions/prejudices and see how far astray it has led him.

One of my fav podcasts, but volume levels can be way off between Dan and the guest, and sometimes Dan’s voice volume varies too much. Good example is towards the end of episode 2 of the English Civil War. Dan please look into it. Still 5 stars.

Awesome show, broad topic range.

An excellent pod on history of all sorts, easy to listen to, informative without boring lectures, moves along and is an excellent host. Nice voice, nice guests.

Dan Snow is the Ambassador of the Electoral Reform Society (ERS) which is associated with Blackstone, BlackRock, World Economic Forum (WEF), etc. He sounds like a nice guy representing some of the world’s most notorious… Buyer beware.

Ashmole pls. It’s a winner

This is such an excellent podcast, head and shoulders above any competition. My only minor gripe was with the episode on Auschwitz commandant, Rudolf Höss. The guest - who wrote a book on the subject - made several elementary errors, and I cannot explain why. He’s not a German speaker (too many basic words pronounced incorrectly), describes Mannheim as “a small town” (so never been there, and it’s population even in 1910 was 200,000), and Höss was never a teenage officer in WWI but rather a teenage NCO. Again, a minor gripe concerning points that would attract the notice of almost no one. I look forward very much to future episodes.

I love the variety of topics covered in this series, as well as the passion that is obviously there for Dan Snow and all his guests. Has quickly become a top listen for me.

Thank you for mentioning how the inequalities in the United States healthcare system impact HIV treatment and prevention. We die from cancer, mental health, bladder infections, colds. The working poor/ working class are dying here. It’s genocide. Our politicians allow it. Our system is corrupt. We aren’t allowed to organize to change it. Just want to make sure the world knows.

So well narrated and well written

As a US citizen, Greenland welcome aboard if they wanna join.

The episode about Portugal and Vasca da Gama was fantastic. Love the show overall and especially episodes like this one when it’s just Dan presenting. Lots of excellent guests but “Danologues” are always my favorite. Robust and remarkable details described in ways that make you feel like you’re in the midst of the stories. How do you do it Dan? I could just squeeze your cheeks…

History Hit provides informational podcasts related to diverse aspects of human history, ranging from periods of ancient, to medieval to more modern. Each distills historical, factual information into accessible episodes covering a range of important events & times in history. I am currently listening to the excellent series on D Day & find it truly fascinating! I am grateful for its depth & breadth, & especially its inclusion of the personal stories of those who were there! Thank you to the many who make the history podcasts excellent!

You lose all credibility when your guest on fascism is rachel maddow. You couldn’t pick someone less credible if you tried.

The only way

British guy, his country is an open cesspool beyond repair and yet he wants to lecture about America's politcal system. Yea, as if we'd listen to you, keep your stupid opinions to yourself, you and your country is an embarrassment. Rachel Maddow as a guest ?! Unsubscribed.

Generally a decent show, I don’t listen to every episode; that being said, the Harris/Trump episode was soooo blatantly political and staged I almost threw up. There is a place for Left and Right political bias to exist, in fact whole podcast series are created around one side or the other. A History podcast should have no space for outrageous clichés peddling one politician over another. I was prepared to hear a historian put an interesting spin on the earth-shattering events of the last month… instead Dan Snow took the mask off and revealed to the world that he is just another tool manipulating reality. Unless there’s some kind of balancing episode in the next week from another perspective, I’ll be deleting this and possibly other ‘History Hit’ podcasts. Stick to what you say you are, don’t pretend. We are all tired of the lies. Edit: as expected, no balancing episode dropped to alleviate the extreme bias pushed in the Harris vs Trump episode. Unsubscribed.

Fantastic show but host and guests speech are sped up so much in production that podcasts can be difficult to parse and follow. Imitators of the “chipmunk” style of History Hit are starting to proliferate. Please, slow it down.

Exceptionally well researched and presented episodes about aspects of history I often know little or nothing about, but which affect our modern lives. A joy to listen to.

Imagine being an adult and believing that history and politics have nothing to do with each other

Most podcasts I’ve tried have at least a 1 week trial. This is only 3 days (I thought it was 7 days).

Dan has the very best combination of deep knowledge and almost school kid passion for history in all its era and forms I’ve ever known. Whenever I want to lose myself and learn at the same time, History Hit is where I go. Thank you for all you do to keep the importance and joy of history alive, Dan. From a fellow North American-UK dual citizen currently joining you from North Carolina.

Boring!!!!!!!! Why do you insist on lowering your podcast to that of political pundits

Chapeau to Dan Snow! I’m a long time listener that has appreciated and enjoyed so many of his podcasts but the recent accounts of the men and stories of Endurance are superb! Shackleton of course, but finally honoring the men behind the headlines, Tom Crean is truly a man’s man. Born without advantage but always stepping forward placing his own safety behind his teammates. History is more than the shiny wrapper, peeling back the layers gives such a deeper understanding of what it was really like, thanks Dan Snow. More Please!

😗😌😍😍😍😍😍😍

What a delightful podcast! I enjoy a good deep dive into some of history’s most under-appreciated stories. I especially loved hearing about Boudica! Dr. Gillespie really brought her story to life in a knowledgeable and engaging way! I hope there will be more academic women on the show!

The subjects are wide-ranging, and Dan’s incisive questions are enhanced by his friendly enthusiasm.

I love the fact that there’s no gratuitous music, forced cackling and lame attempts at humor. His selection of guests is almost unfailingly brilliant. My only suggestion is to please be sure that each guest – regardless of his or her expertise – also speaks in a loud and distinct voice. Otherwise their command of the topic risks being wasted and the listener is left frustrated. Please keep up the good work.

Love this podcast! Great insights and facts about various historical events. If you like history, look no further.

They simply can’t handle the truth. Great podcast.

But cannot access subs episode podcasts. TV is okay.

I sat in the parking lot of my office building compelled to finish the Battle of Britain episodes. Incredible. I’m an American and I sat with tears in my eyes listening to the stories of these courageous and defiant British men and women who risked their lives so willingly. Inspirational is a vast understatement. Dan snow presents Storytelling at its absolute best!
