    Insanely Interesting

    love it
    engaging true stories brought to life by two journalists with soothing voices. incredible production quality. ads are few and at the same volume as the show, so you don’t lose track if the storyline.

    Excellent Podcast!
    Love Journey Through Time! I am a history podcast junkie and when I stumbled onto JTT, I was floored that Sarah and David worked so well together after only a few podcasts together. The obscure history stories like Black Tom Island are captivating. I will listen as long as they are creating the podcast. Keep up the excellent work! KM

    A lot of rumbling…
    They spend a lot of time in the beginning of each episode on their thoughts and aftermath of the story, before even presenting the story. I love their content but they lost me on how they present it. I think they should consider restructuring their storytelling to capture the audience attention.

    Great history podcast
    Discovered this a few weeks ago - love the content so far. They tend to focus on historical events that are not so mainstream.. the recent two episodes on Tokyo Rose are top listening and really engaging!

    Frustratingly close to really good
    Snails pace, loads of elementary background information, everything said two or three times, and yet fascinating topics, if you can muster the patience to wait for the presenters to get around to it. Scripted with a pretense of spontaneous banter.

    Excellent start to a new podcast
    I have enjoyed listening & understanding parts of American history have not been exposed to before. And to be honest, narrators are important. I find them to be clear, pleasant and easy to listen to for the full length of time

    Great concept— please apply to African slavery
    History is routinely rewritten or censored. These experts aim to expose the forces at work as sentinel moments occur. Slavery in America and British Empire is often characterised as Whites owning Blacks for a few centuries and it’s seen as evil. The practice was ended primarily because Europeans, especially British, thought it unethical or immoral. (The British Royal Navy inhibited, with effort, transatlantic slave trade. Arab trade slowed later.) Yet Africans owned Africans as slaves for DOZENS OF CENTURIES (as far as I understand). Slavery was an ordinary, acceptable and moral way of life. ie Enslaving fellow Africans and selling them to foreigners was an acceptable method for making a living for centuries. So why and how is slave trade different when Europeans and Americans get involved? Africans enslave each other routinely and history seems to ignore this. Africans sell their fellow Africans to foreigners and history takes notice. What’s up with that? I can’t find podcast type discussions of this topic or those that are similar and wish there were.
