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

A fantastic channel

A fantastic channel - excellent array of documentaries on a wide variety of historical eras. Superb presenters (especially Eleanor Janega) and a nice mixture of long and short form content. Love the channel and my subscription - keep up the good work, guys!

Excellent content and delivery

Excellent content, very professionally done. Thoroughly researched and it’s such a gem, to find a channel on YouTube that is thorough and serious. TV is also brilliant and caters for every era and interest. Highly recommend.

Tons shelf site

Tons of material and access to archive. Needs to branch out more on Asian, South American and African histories. A bit Eurocentric but no doubt they will get there. All of the material is top notch, personal and in depth. I actually keep a notepad close by so I can further read on some of the material. It is downloadable, great for when you do not have access to internet, this is very important.

It's never too late to learn!

It's never too late to learn!
From listening on Spotify to watching fantastic documentaries, the teams take you on a wonderful journey of discovery. I can't rate History Hit high enough but I can tell everyone who has an interest in history to stop what they're doing and sign up today.

Very accessible presentation

Very accessible presentation, engaging subjects and what I really appreciate is stripping some of that propaganda history is often veiled in; not afraid of the ugly bits!

HistoryHit gets to the point

HistoryHit gets to the point. It portrays history in its natural, unglorified state. It features knowledgeable and personable presenters who share both micro and macro views of events and personalities. The discussions are on point and unfiltered. You will see historical sites close up and in detail. Most importantly, regardless of your knowledge level coming in, you will learn something new.

Rich in content and great commentators

I thoroughly enjoy History Hit for its diverse content - Romans to World Wars - and its cast of authors, academics, etc. The service uniquely streams all things history and for this reason I love it. Moving forward it would be nice to see it expand the length of some of its shows beyond half an hour and also diversify its perspectives. Eg: Hapsburg or Hohenzollern history, the Grand Duchy of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth or anything about Polish people pre WW2.

A Big Thumbs up for HistoryHit.

Absolutely brilliant and loving the diverse history that is covered and the topics which have affected the development of civilization. Whether it be Greek Myths or the Cold War, the historians and experts cover each topic with vibrancy and passion for their subject.
On the back of the podcasts and documentaries I have now started to collect the books of individual historians to investigate further.
All in all a cracking channel and is well worth the subscription, keep up the good work all of you.

Hearing impaired viewer.

I like the diversity of subjects but with that comes new presenters, however, some presenters are hard to understand. Their eloquence and diction plus the lack of subtitles make some programmes frustrating.

I love History Hit

I love History Hit! I wish I could have kept the subscription, but I have doctor bills to pay. I will subscribe again once I feel better about my budget. In the meantime, I'll keep reading my books.
