The best!
John does his homework and presents his material as a master storyteller. The episodes are educational, interesting and the sound effects help to place you “in the story”. I am very happy that John has multiple different podcasts (Hero’s, Sherlock Holmes, Stories for the Road etc.) as I am rapidly moving through all of his work. Lastly, John reminds me of my Swedish grandfather who was a brilliant, soothing and charming storyteller. Thank you John Fire Captain Bill N
Entertaining, educational and amazing human drama
Can’t get enough of John Hagadorn, thank you for the ongoing treasure trove of human history. Please do a narration of the May 1972 Sunshine Mine disaster where 91 miners died and two were rescued after surviving two weeks 1600 meters underground in Idaho. The book “The Deep Dark” details the harrowing human drama. Thank you Art Almquist DeBary, Florida
Awesome
Great podcast. I love the lost treasure stories the most but nearly all the stories told on this podcast are crazy good!
Easy Listening
I particularly LOVED the episode of the generational breakdown! So much interesting info, thank you!
Great way to spend time driving!
I haul equipment for the local John Deere dealer. I travel all over Montana and there are a lot of dead spots out here. I’m glad to have your stories to fill in the quite scenery. I enjoy history and you Sir tell a good factual story. I enjoy your pod casts very much. Please keep ‘em coming! MT Trucking Cowboy
My 2 cents
Love the stories and the host. Background sound effects are way too loud. They drown out the host. Please turn them down or stop using them all together.
One of the best podcasts I’ve heard!
I enjoy every second. It’s an engaging style that is enthralling and informative. One suggestion: we pronounce my state of Oregon as “Ory-gun,” not “ Ore-Gone.” ☺️
really good podcast
Very Impressive Jon
I've heard and seen several documentaries done of the Dyatlov Pass mystery. However, none have come close to the amount of information Jon provides. Same goes for the Bridey Murphy episodes. Jon's research is impeccable. Love this podcast. Thanks.
My favorite podcast
Love this podcast because it always supplements info on historical topics I thought I knew pretty well, and brings up new topics to me that typically stirs an interest in knowing more. Thank you for your hard work in creating these great podcasts!
Off the Charts GOOD!
Well done, John! This Podcast is OFF THE CHARTS GOOD! The variety of topics is astounding. And the quality of coverage for each is equally astounding. Worth binging from start to finish.
Great Podcast!!
Great Podcast!! Perhaps a name change to 10,001 ??
Good stuff
But seriously. It’s Arnhem. Not arnheim. Otherwise I loved this two parter on market garden. That was absurdly distracting.
Fenomenal
This show is fantastic. I am kept entertained and always wanting more. It’s educational and narrator sets the tone for right fir listeners. I enjoy it. Thank you.
Great podcast!!
This has been a very enjoyable podcast thus far. The presenter is well-versed, he has a great speaking voice & the topics are wide-ranged & usually very interesting. Keep up the good work, sir!
Solid podcast
Recommend
Simply the Best HistoryPodcast!
I find myself wishing that the podcast would go on for hours!
Fantastic
I’ve been listening for two years. I eagerly await each episode and have listened to many shows over and over. Great job and thank you for what you do!

Thank you so much for the Bob Hoover story. He was a great aviator and a fine example of American manhood. Your work helps remind us “ we are not descended from timid men. “
A great listen.
I was recommended this Pod by a Mutual friend, D Brandt. 1001 Heroes, Legends, Histories and Myths is fantastic. Great stories well done. The stories are rich and full of interesting information. Thanks for all of your hard work.
Wonderful Podcast; Fabulous Stories
Just finished listening to the excellent Snow Shoe Thompson episode. I first learned of Snow Show from listening to Johnny Horton’s song of the same name back in the early 60s and this podcast filled in a lot of the fascinating background history of this truly heroic man. There is a huge catalog of episodes and we love to cruise through and pic the episode that tickles our fancy at the moment. Thank you, Jon, for your well-told, well-researched and most pleasantly narrated podcast. Keep a goin’!
Great content, awesome story telling
I love history. But I really enjoy random historic events. You do a great job thank you.
Wow!
Been listening to your podcast almost non stop for about two weeks. I really enjoy the episodes about the Old West but the Guadalcanal episode was unbelievable! Keep up the great work. I am a huge fan.
Surprised and Thrilled!
Love this show being from the Carolinas! Sadly Florence is SC, Andy and Aunt Bee where in Mayberry NC. (Mt Airy …Andy Griffins real home town). But the podcast is like listening to an old friend.
