The AskHistorians Podcast showcases the knowledge and enthusiasm of the AskHistorians community, a forum of nearly 1.4 million history academics, professionals, amateurs, and curious onlookers. The aim is to be a resource accessible to a wide range of listeners for historical topics which so often go overlooked. Together, we have a broad array of people capable of speaking in-depth on topics that get half a page on Wikipedia, a paragraph in a high-school textbook, and not even a minute on the History channel. The podcast aims to give a voice (literally!) to those areas of history, while not neglecting the more commonly covered topics. Part of the drive behind the podcast is to be a counterpoint to other forms of popular media on history which only seem to cover the same couple of topics in the same couple of ways over and over again.

Customer Reviews
Great podcast for learning directly from historians
I’ve been following the subreddit associated with it for a while and love the depth they go into on the show here. They always have her good guests that take historical accuracy seriously and usually have interesting topics. They range from moderators, redditors and event traditional historians.
Fantastic
Great interviews, great topics. Keep it up!!
Meh
One of the hosts said he works at the Kinsey Institute. Which is reason enough to distrust all of them, and the whole podcast
