I run each day approximately 10 miles and I’m always looking for an interesting podcast to take along with me. I just started listening to this podcast series... and my oh my... this is just excellent. So well researched and narrated. I started with the 3 part Custer series... and I was so pleased with the way the story was handled. Great job! I can’t wait to listen to more!! Be safe and be well!! Thank you for presenting American history in such a magnificent manner!

Unfortunately you critic was right but didn’t explain the problem. Progressive has sent you commercials that are recorded at a higher level than your broadcast. When they come on, they are way too loud. Have them record them at a better level.

Of the approximately 500 bodies at the Crow Creek massacre site, 90 percent of the skulls show evidence of scalping. The event took place between warring Native Americans circa 1325 AD.

This podcast is very informative and entertaining. One of my favorites. That being said, if I have to listen to another motorcycle insurance advertisement from progressive insurance, I am unsubscribing. The blare of the motorcycle ears and I’m scrambling to find my phone volume switch. Not my idea of a relaxing evening listening to a podcast.

Jon, I so much enjoy listening to your well-crafted podcasts! I appreciate the thorough research you have conducted for each episode. You have such a gift of telling stories and bringing characters to life! I wish you would have been my high school history teacher. I might would’ve scored higher than a D in history. Keep up your excellent work as I enjoy listening to your podcast on a daily basis.

Like sitting down with an old friend ,I look forward to listening to each new pod cast. Jon’s unique delivery and choice of subjects is what really makes this pod cast stand out and special. His passion for providing a well thought out pod cast is obvious is every show. Much thanks to all the effort and determination in delivering so many wonderful shows. Looking forward to listening to many more in the future.

This is the best podcast. The stories are simply fantastic. The heroes are amazing, the legends are timeless, the history is enthralling and the mysteries are captivating. Jon is a wonderful choice for a friendly voice to guide us through each adventure. I started listening when I was curious about the story of Bonnie and Clyde and became addicted. Now I await each Sunday for a new episode. The theme music starts and I am ready to be taken on another epic adventure, smothered with insight, facts, opinions and gems. It’s also nice in this polarized time of our country that this remains neutral on current politics. Thank you for that!! Highly recommend listening. If you have already heard/read whichever story is covered by this show, have a listen, you are likely to hear something about it that you never knew. Keep up the awesome work.

I just found this podcast based on the Bridey Murphy topic. It was fantastic to hear a well-researched and objective version of the story without the "skeptical" predeliction to begin with a non-belief and refuse to listed to any evidence that isn't consistent with that viewpoint. This talked about both sides, rather than simply choosing to discard actual evidence.

It’s like someone gave my grandpa a podcast. Stories about monsters, aliens, heros, and WW2. Clunky format , abrupt adds, and odd editing choices, only seem to add to the charm.

I have listened to every episode. I eagerly await new episodes every Sunday. The attention to detail is incredible. The host’s voice is soothing and makes learning fun.

Ok so I like the stories and stuff but just to many ads. Also there are issues with the editing. Like sometimes you trim to little or to much, or worse, not at all. It’s not to often I hear it but when I do I bugs the crap out of me. I love the stories you give out, so four stars for the ads.

I started listening to this podcast about a year ago and I am ready to stop my Audible Account. The reader is VERY good and the content - there is something for everyone! So interesting and so educational. Keep them coming!

I have learned so much from this podcast! I have listened to many episodes twice, because there is so much information I often can’t take it in the first time. In addition, there is such a large variety of topics, that I’m learning about stuff I never even knew existed. If you have a thirst for knowledge, this is the podcast for you!!!!

Check out the treasure trove of previous episodes! Unbelievable history recounted and unearthed here. Fav podcast!

Best explanation I’ve heard so far of the Dyatlov mystery!! Great job!

Great historical research told earnest delivery.

This is why we have phones and podcasts. Thanks, Jon! 👍🏼

Stories are fantastic, narrator is excellent.

Good: I enjoy the host’s speaking voice and the vast spectrum of topics. So far the amount of ads isn’t too much. Host often tries to cover lesser known historical events. Bad: Host clearly tends to favor many of the conspiracies, cryptics, UFO, and miracle topics, which is fine, but he tends to skew his research toward the result he wants rather than to the facts. I don’t believe he’s racist, but rather than stating the facts of a massacre in the old west, he goes out of his way to justify it. I think most listeners can handle the facts and make up their own mind. There are definite audio issues. Levels vary from too quiet to too loud. Some of the background music or dramatic effects overpower the host at times. He starts, then restarts and leaves all of those redo’s in. I’m still a fan of the show because I enjoy most of the topics.

It’s tied as one of the top three podcasts it’s up there with Twilight Histories, and Lorehammer John is an amazing podcaster and I hope he continues to do his amazing podcasts I especially the stuff about Space Aliens

These true tales and the exploits of the heroes featured, are a delight and an inspiration. Mr. H's narrative style is engaging and sincere. I can't recommend this podcast enough! It's "theatre for the mind."

Great podcast! Look forward to listening to every new release. 5 stars for sure.

This is my favorite podcast John’s delivery is engaging entertainning if you listen to the show you’re guaranteed to learn something new

Excellent history, reading, and informative. Your blooper, however, during John Wilkes Booth’s suicide occurred in Enid, Oklahoma. Now, Jesus said, “Any kingdom divided against itself cannot stand” - Luke 11:17; Mark 3:24; Matthew 12:25, depending upon the translation (i.e. - KJV, ASV, NASB) You are the most interesting, easy to hear podcaster I listen to on any given day. Thank you for your studies and research. You make few and at that, minor mistakes. I’ll keep listening. No matter what!

I found this podcast & I have enjoyed each one I have listened to. Keep up the good work.

This podcast is the real deal; the standard by which all should be measured. 1. Content. Beautifully written deep dives into some of the most compelling topics that history has to offer. 2. Listen-ability. Jon Hagadorn is at the pinnacle of delivery. The cadence and inflections combined with character provide believability, authority, and wisdom that I trust. 3. Honesty. Unfiltered truth. Remember what that sounds like? Subscribe to this Podcast for a reminder.

Just found this podcast and looks like it’ll be one of my favorite! Thanks!

Excellent podcast for the history buff.

Have listened to every episode of all 3 1001 podcasts. Just love all of them. Never turn my car radio on anymore . Waiting for next episode. Keep up the good work!

This podcast is one of my all-time favorites. Jon uncovers interesting stories and tells them so eloquently that they are a complete joy to listen to every time. Jon thank you for all the research you do and the effort you put in to tell these stories in an organized manner, even when the details are many! I have understood so much more about the people and places, war-stories, etc that you cover than I ever would have on my own. You make the stories come alive and make my imagination sing! Also FWIW----->>>> @Modern Crusader You are calling Jon a "blasphemous fraud" and "vagrant" for, in a choice of racial sensitivity, not saying the N word while reading the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. I'd like to point out that Jon is among the most respectful of story-tellers I've listened to, both to the stories themselves, and to his listeners. His family-oriented show is something parents and children can enjoy together, indeed our family has. If my girls (being brown themselves) heard him reading that word as is so often used in that particular work, they'd be offended and disinclined to continue listening and wouldn't benefit from the lessons the story has to offer. Would it be better that they never know of or read the work at all? Or is it better for them to hear Jon's voice reading it to them in a culturally appropriate manner, according to today's information? Stop trolling. You've got the definitions of blasphemous, vagrant, and fraud wrong. You should google those words so you do not continue to use them incorrectly. It severely weakens your argument when you do.
