Excellent host transforms dry history textbooks into compelling human dramas
What I love most about this podcast is Graham’s ability to add eyewitness perspectives to historical events. How did it feel to BE there in these moments, to live through these times? I also appreciate that he takes events that might have been just a sentence or two in my history textbook and expands on them. I was a history nerd before I started listening to Graham, and I’ve already discovered so much about America’s past that I didn’t know. I’m looking forward to future episodes!

Good listen, but obviously bias
I enjoy listening to the podcast and learn things I didn’t know with each season, but it is blatantly left-leaning, lifting those historical figures and choices/policies, and even watering down the Dems roles in the atrocities of slavery, Jim Crow, etc.

Great podcast
As a history buff I can just turn on this podcast and unwind I love all the episodes the narration and way of telling the story are great. My one compliant is that there are to many ads. Otherwise great show!

Quality podcast. A bit politically/ideologically biased
I have watched almost every season on this podcast. It is a very well worked, well dramatized, and quality podcast. There is a lot of research done behind every episode, and there is always a good amount of good facts to learn in every episode. Although it is a very good podcast, there is a considerable political/ideological bias to the left and they take a lot of pride in that. It does make many of the dramatizations not very historically appropriate. I have seen quite a few episodes that almost dishonesty gives a very strong lean and favorable view to left leaning ideas. Some facts, views and more complex and intricate events do seem a little simplified and distorted because of that too.

Politically bias history stories
This would be a great podcast if he could keep his political views out of it. History should be told using unbiased facts.

Used as political cudgel
Comparing Burr to Trump is ridiculously biased. Unsubscribed.

Amazing storytelling!
I adore this podcast. I love the length of the episodes, the chosen topics, the host’s cadence of speech, the “Imagine you are in this situation…” parts, just everything. It’s my favorite listen right now.

Love the pod
I see many comments saying this is left leaning, maybe I only listen to the topics unrelated to politics, Roanoke/gold rush/presidential assassinations/Lewis and Clark. But I haven’t noticed that and I love the pod! Also I’ll add I’m very right leaning and def agree politics should stay out of history!!!

Well-Done
Very interesting and well researched. Covers a lot of more obscure pieces of history.

Honest story telling
I appreciate the personal anecdotes - it humanizes the stories and allows for all the complexities our American history holds -you are allowed the opportunity to mourn for everyone impacted by a singular event, like gold rush for instance- from the wives of greedy men forced to risk their lives in search of gold and the entire indigenous population who were colonized and displaced by those same white men. It’s the kind of honesty we must grapple with if we intend to break the cycles of oppression still imbedded in our current systems and buried in our collective consciousness

Imagine this
I think this podcast is fascinating, the way the story is told makes me wish this was how it was taught in school. I always hated history. So boring with dates and names that have no connection. This puts you there and gives you a view of what it might have been like and what was going on at the time. Giving first person accounts throughout, is an interesting way of drawing you in. The only thing that throws me off is always stating “Imagine your ____ or it’s ____ time period”. It just pulls me out of the story, if you were reading a book, it would not keep repeating that phrase to put you there. Overall I love getting interested in history again and find myself looking up more of some of the stories.
