Customer Reviews
Definitley worth your time!
There are a LOT of history related podcasts out there, but after spending hours reviewing them all Historyzine rose to the top of the heap as a top quality, time worthy podcast. Jim Mowatt knows his stuff, is clearly passionate about it, and has a delivery style that never gets old. His clear, animated voice pulls you in and brings history alive! If ever a podcast deserved a click of the SUBSCRIBE button, it would be Historyzine. Thanks Jim!
One of the best!
I have listened to a number of history podcasts and this ranks right up there with the best of them. Jim has a way of balancing between a broad brush and the minute details. One test of a great history podcast for me is whether I want to listen even when the period or topic is not one of my usual areas. I had no interest in the Wars of Spanish Succession before listening, now I am seeking out additional information! Thanks, Jim!
