R. ScottGPolitical ViewsInteresting stories of history but need to leave out your modern day views of politics. They seem flawed and misinformed.

Nancy in Fred'bgAmazing true story tellingI stumbled into this podcast and was a bit thrown off by the title…. But started the series about 1941 German invasion of the Soviet Union and listened to all 5 episodes in one day! This went into such detail,, I had never heard before even though I knew the over arching story. I’ll be back for more. Great job with this presentation

Ahm3dAc3Khalid Ibn-WaleedInfo was generic but some of the most important parts regarding Khalid was missed. Especially regarding his acceptance of Islam and how he got his title sword of Allah.

Albert CiprianiI am 70 years old…… And I thought I knew just about all there was to know about World War II, of which my father was a veteran. However, I am learning a lot more these days through your most wonderful podcast. You supply human details that are stranger than fiction. Thank you for your excellence!

HDML337Great showGreat stories, great storytelling. Elliot does such a wonderful job bringing often difficult material to life. His curiosity is contagious and wonderful.

J. MaryamIncredible storytelling and scholarshipHe tells well-researched and deeply human stories that bring the historical figures and the people around them to life in an authentic way. His narration is both objective and culturally sensitive. I appreciate that I don’t detect some of the intellectual pitfalls of many Western historians describing other cultures, especially Muslims. Very entertaining and informative. Definitely a treasure for the intellectually curious who love the human saga.

SeanV12!Great story teller!This is a wonderfully fun podcast! The narrator is a fantastic story teller, who makes history sound and feel as if it were happening right now. The well researched details and insights that he adds to the stories you think you’ve heard before makes them sound completely new. I’ve already listened to them all and can’t wait for more to come out! Thanks for your hard work! All the best!

Wizard SquadInteresting first episode, looking forward to those to comeI’ve only ever heard about Skanderbeg from “crazy” uncles that would bring him up at family gatherings. It was interesting hearing about the history from a more unbiased third party teller.
