Overall I enjoy History Hit. Two requests: stop interrupting women guest historians and listen more as you do with male guest historians; level the audio - I couldn't watch the Lucy Worsley episode... See more

Very energetic production company…
Very energetic production company making serious history content. Sure, some of the videos could well be podcasts, and some of the presenters are getting their feet under them, but the content is uniformly interesting. The lament that history is boring has no place on this content stream.
Wonderful stuff
Wonderful stuff. I particularly enjoy Dr. Eleanor Janega and Alice Loxton, remarkable and talented women, both very comfortable before the camera.
History Hit = History Geek Heaven
I love how History Hit brings history out of the dark ages in to light with full clarity. Eleanor Janega is one of my favorite since I am so interested in Medieval history. I definitely recommend to all my history “geeks”.

I sub for the ad free podcasts and they're all brilliant.
Wouldn't cancel when asked.
No way to cancel on the website, had to send email. Email ignored, kept billing me. Had to dispute it with my bank to stop them from charging me.

It's nice to have access to a range of short 'explainer' type videos and I enjoy the longer more 'in depth' ones to get into topics I'm interested in. I've enjoyed the James Holland series on the Italian campaign but would like something more that the two episodes so far - is there more? I've really enjoyed Dr Susanah Lipscombe's videos and podcasts and especially some of the interviews and panels she has done. It's nice to hear from a variety of voices on topics.
Excellent content and most…
Excellent content and most documentaries are less than an hour. I am able to easily watch two or three before going to work.
Subscription
I bought my husband a subscription. When signing up he forgot to put the code in. Worried that we will be charged twice so contacted customer services. Still awaiting a reply after 10 days! Shame as the channel itself is good.

Very much enjoying History Hit
Very much enjoying History Hit. The shows are a good length for keeping the audience attention, presenters are good, especially Dan Snow, Alice Hoxton, Dr Susannah Lipscombe and Dan Jones. Looking forward to more Plantagenets docs
No L G app
I like the programes,but Everytime I wish to look at it I can't without going on the 'net' to find it. I have an L G tv & can not find an app for this site anywere. So I will probably be canceling after my cheap sign up expire's.

Loving History Hit
I am really enjoying History Hit. The shows are factual, they do not drag on, and the presenters are not boring to listen to. You can tell that the presenters, know their work. Their information flows on and is super interesting. I love the fact that you pay for the whole year upfront.
Keep the good stuff coming, I love it!!
I love this channel
I love this channel. The shows are very well done and addictive, you can't just watch one.

I got history hits mainly because I thought that time team and few of the other odyssey shows would be on it since they said they where part of the history hits network
LOVE this streaming service for history…
LOVE this streaming service for history fans--with several caveats: sometimes the sound quality is inconsistent; not a podcast person, so hoping for more documentaries selection. Finally, please get Janina Ramirez in the mix!!
I loved History Hit so much…
I loved History Hit so much I bought my mother a subscription too for Christmas. We've just spent the past few days browsing and watching a multitude of documentaries having connected her laptop to her large TV screen. She loves it just as much as me so we're both very happy subscribers now 😊
Very balanced perspective on the Boston Tea Party.
I really enjoyed your episode on the Boston Tea Party. It was very balanced giving both American and English sides of the issue. I really appreciated hearing both sides of the issue. Thank you for such a well done program.
