Listener Reviews

I just started listening but I’ve heard enough to say that this is a real hidden gem. It covers a wide variety of historical events, figures and topics, all of which are very interesting, told in an absorbing fashion. I highly recommend this to those with an interest in history.

I’m so lucky I found this podcast. I’m a young student and this, conflict has been absolutely mind blowing to me. I can’t stop listening to this at work or anytime. The first hand sources create transporting imagery. I’ve come to so manny conclusions and feel more aware because of how amazing Cornwell does these podcasts. I am a more grateful person because of these podcasts. So glad I live where I do and when… this podcast reminds me of that. I hope you see this Zach… your podcasts are effecting me in such a positive way while absolutely captivating my interest.

If you want to just escape reality and want to relive history then give this podcast a listen. Zach Cornwell, to me, is a great orator who does he’s research and elaborate very well on his topic. So far the Ghost in The Mountains series is my favorite and I think a great podcast to listen to.

Stumbled upon the “Kill Yamamoto” episodes while digging for some WWII driving noise. Continued to listen to every single episode in less than a week. Absolute genius framing and storytelling of true events. You, sir, are an artist.

Love the format, narration, pace, and just everything about this cast.

Stumbled upon this podcast channel on a long drive and couldn’t stop listening. Kept driving around the block to finish since I concentrate best in the car. Amazing story telling that makes you remember key facts, conflicts and characters. Please continue the marvelous work.

Thank you so much for an unbiased look at History. I don’t know what your politics are, and I really don’t care. I find your podcast extremely informative, refreshing and I can’t wait for the next episode.

Extremely captivating series, wish there was more than one episode a month but I guess all great things take time.

As with other listeners I stumbled on to the podcast when searching for another. I listened to this podcast and never continued to look for the other!!

Stumbled on Conflicted when searching for another podcast episode about Marquis De Sade. Listened to Conflicted’s episode instead, liked it well enough to subscribe. 🤷🏻‍♀️ You can tell the host knows his stuff and that he cares about the subject as well as the narrative. Good variety in topics, i love that Zach looks into history that hasn’t already been discussed to death. Fantastic work. 🖤

I am a pod junkie. Listen to a ton of history and story telling podcast. This is #1, especially the ones on the the Yum Kippur War and 6 days way. So so good. Please keep these coming!

I appreciate the intensely tedious and methodical effort by the Author to give honest and forthright evaluations. All content is presented with a focus on veracity of facts and acknowledges the blank spaces between them. Also, great is the engaging storytelling; confronting bigoted and long established narratives with more evidence based nuance. Enjoy.

This is a well researched podcast. Zach does an amazing job of connecting historical facts in an engaging way. I have learned so much listening to ALL of these podcasts, and hope to hear more.

This is by far my favorite podcast. The host has a fantastic grasp on every subject and I look forward to every episode. Waiting patiently for new ones!

I have enjoyed and learned from each pod. A great addition to my history podcast library.

Absolutely addicted to this podcast after 10 minutes. Fantastic writing that keeps you wanting to learn more. Can’t wait for each new episode!I’m so happy Zach is making more episodes! This podcast is my favorite show.

So many options of interesting topics. A great storyteller, definitely adding to my favorites!

Wow. I am by no means a history buff, but I love this podcast. Extremely well done and engaging. Highly recommend.

Zach Cornwell has a gift for presenting history! Every episode is an exciting listen and I look forward to many more of them!

I’ve truly enjoyed this podcast. I’ve learned the details about events often mentioned but not previously known to me. The best is Zachs’ delivery! He is articulate, so knowledgeable, and current in his way of sharing “what happened and why it happened.” We need more, please keep recording!

This podcast is well researched and very well presented. Zach is a delightful host who is both passionate and knowledgeable about history. I always learn something new after listening and look forward to many more episodes!

Zach is easy to listen to as he discusses the parts of history our textbooks avoid. He takes you on a journey across the globe to experience the truth of times and places you thought you knew. I found myself googling places, people, and technology just to learn more about it. Can't wait for more episodes!!

Love the perfect mix of storytelling, information, and POV. This is extremely well written and recorded. High reco for anyone, history buff or not.

Y’all normally I hate history. The only other time I have ever enjoyed it was when my teacher was great, so since I enjoy it again this should say something. This is the first time I have willingly listened to anything having to do with history outside of school and it is so great. Zach wraps you up in each story so you feel like you’re there and forget you’re learning.
