Agenda Future
you are the most ignorant problem in our world. facts are facts. opinions are opinions. the rewriting of history is demoralizing to our white men. who can stand your voices.
Thomas Franklin

Kayl matthew
me o honestly the way u word that. who wouldnt want that. but in honest, why is their unearthed series the fan favorite. possibly because it is pure history with no bias. literally exposing what we seek and crave about the past. this is what important, measured and noted by history lovers. the hosts are weak
me o
Kayl matthew are you guys looking for a podcast that covers all sorts of Indiana Jones/Lara Croft type of adventures?

Chloe Gilmer
When he said its was 2008, I felt like I was in the future, it's now 2019 which is crazy...but I love this podcast 😁🙏🏼

Ridiculous. You spend five minutes revealing almost nothing and always say "It's a bit fuzzy" basically saying you really don't know shit except rumor. Five minutes even on Wikipedia would be far more beneficial
Paul Jollimore
do you normally have so many ads it's getting a bit out of hand
Omar Jaffrey
Love the show. Love the inclusion of more women. I'm cool w/ hosts' voices. Then again I listen for the substance not the style.
Kayl matthew
i cant take these lame topics anymore. all the history out there and it seems like they're purposely picking this crap. unfollowing
Michael Lieberman
Kayl matthew Man, that's exactly what I like about it. It's stuff I would never pick for myself. All the big stuff has been picked through.
Cassie
The name of the podcast is literally "stuff you missed in history class", and considering history class doesn't cover the female (or black or Native American ect...) experience, it should be no surprise that the topics are centered around those things. As they should be.

A lot of these events happened on and around my birthday so this was really cool to hear! Also extremely odd
Em
Am I missing something? Hosts seem to laugh just on about everything...
