So if you’re stuck in traffic, bored at work—wherever you are, listen to History Daily to remind yourself that something incredible happened to make that day historic.

📢 ALL EYES ON IRAN. The Iranian regime has shut down the internet and cut landlines nationwide. Millions are in the streets, bravely resisting across the country. Be the voice for the Iranian people when their voices are being silenced. 🔆
The hosts of this founded show are obnoxious and clearly know nothing about English government.
these guys are trying way too hard to make produce interesting...
Jesus christ, slow it down a bit!
think episodes got mixed up
hik
Once again, very clever.
history repeats
"Never to be repeated" fourth presidential term. never repeated ... until it is. you reckon Trump isn't going to go for of trying a third term? presidents have extended their terms in many countries. don't believe that the United States is immune
listening to this episode made me think I was having a seizure. please fix it or remove it
no, I would not go listen to this podcast, the art of crime. the narrators voice is monotone, tedious, and exhausting.
Yet again this podcast has a firm misunderstanding of true federalism. Also Calhoun was pro union, he never "laid the groundwork for secession". At Ft. Sumter the union repeatedly kept resupplying the fort, which was seen as a sign of aggression by the seceded SC and even Lincolns cabinet told him to stop resupplying. The shelling was clearly meant for the union forces to vacate not start a civil war. the civil war actually began when Lincoln illegally sent troops to invade the south
not once was 1953 mentioned in this podcast. I get it's hard to cram in the history in 15 minutes, but this episode isnt telling the whole story.
So Chuck Yeager shot down a lot of Germans. Interesting, as Yeager is German name, and means Hunter!
communist propaganda. Che was a murdering marxist madman. bye bye short history daily.
This is an extremely rosey and probably misleading and inaccurate portrayal of Peron, Eva, and Peronism.
It's so sad that some people don't recognize that humans are being killed by this process.
Seems like this is soft-peddling things and being too easy on Ted Kennedy. My understanding is that Mary Jo Kopechne didn't die from the accident itself or even from drowning...at least not straight off. There was a pocket of air she could use that became exhausted. She was probably under there for some time before she died, but no help came.
that is the weirdest pronunciation of Donegal I've ever heard
this title popped up, looked interesting. left without trying a single episode when I saw how short they were. not nearly enough time to do any of these subjects justice
