Dig This!
Daniele Bolelli the fabulous host of “History on Fire” and I fanboy out over archaeology. We had some inexplicable audio problems at times with the recording, so hopefully that doesn't detract from the greatness of the guest.

You’re the Best!
I wish you had a contribution button on your website so that I could send you $5 every now and then since you are always feeding me much more than $5-worth of history with every episode you produce. God Bless —Albert
Overrated
If you want to hear a narcissist talk about himself more than tell a story he’s the guy for you he’s okay but nothing more
Great show and perspective on history
I love Dan’s rational approach to history which is informative and not (too) politically charged. I have always been interested in history but his shows have made history riveting and raised my knowledge to a whole new level. I see there are a few recent negative reviews from this last episode because it’s a sensitive topic, but I wouldn’t let that deter you from the valuable information and insight he consistently provides. I also notice the few people accusing Dan of making false claims give no specifics or documentation of any kind, yet he always cites his sources. If you are the type of person who listens to inflammatory criticism with no specifics given…. Dan’s show wouldn’t be for you anyway. Overall, highly recommend this show.
