Very well done!
I have a short attention span yet, listen to this podcast for hours at a time. Elliot brings life to every story. The WW2 episodes are my favorite, but they’re are all worth listening to. These heroes should not be forgotten. Great job!

I am 70 years old…
… And I thought I knew just about all there was to know about World War II, of which my father was a veteran. However, I am learning a lot more these days through your most wonderful podcast.
You supply human details that are stranger than fiction. Thank you for your excellence!

Incredible storytelling and scholarship
He tells well-researched and deeply human stories that bring the historical figures and the people around them to life in an authentic way. His narration is both objective and culturally sensitive. I appreciate that I don’t detect some of the intellectual pitfalls of many Western historians describing other cultures, especially Muslims. Very entertaining and informative. Definitely a treasure for the intellectually curious who love the human saga.

greatest stories ever told via podcast
Eliot is a master story teller, who’s passion for history grabs your attention from start to finish. Whether or not you like history or a particular podcast subject is irrelevant. Once you start listening to a heroic tale told by Eliot Gates, you’ll be hooked.

Great topic!
The host delves into historical that are not too common. I mean, who knew that Hungary was a great power that was laid low by one battle. Exciting to hear about it. Can’t wait for part 2! His voice is great. Great show!

Great story teller!
This is a wonderfully fun podcast! The narrator is a fantastic story teller, who makes history sound and feel as if it were happening right now. The well researched details and insights that he adds to the stories you think you’ve heard before makes them sound completely new. I’ve already listened to them all and can’t wait for more to come out! Thanks for your hard work!
All the best!

Brilliant show!
I really enjoy the way he discusses historical figures that people should know more about. My favorite episodes are about Skanderbeg and Prince Eugene of Savoy! Overall I’m excited to hear more from him, plus he has a great accent!

Anthology of Heroes
Enjoyable and easy to listen to podcast about lesser know historical figures. Eliot’s research is in depth and he offers opposing views of the same incident.

The storytelling is captivating.
The production quality is great.
If you like stories about freedom fighters who are not household names, then this is the podcast for you.

I was a little bit sceptical at first, because of all the fire and explosions in the description. I feared that the focus might be on battle scenes. So I was intrigued to find an episode on Ram Mohan Roy, not exactly a bloodthirsty warrior. I listened to it and I must say I was very pleasantly surprised. The narrator manages to discuss the life and legacy of this complicated historical figure in serious depth. If you then consider the range of his topics, he must have an impressive historical knowledge! On top of that, he never lost my attention: a pleasant voice to listen to (you quickly get used to the accent). I will certainly keep following this podcast!

What a cool way to learn!
I love learning history, but usually the stories are told in such a boring way. Not that way here! The host keeps it entertaining and really paints the picture for you. The stories are super interesting and some serious research and effort goes into creating this. Well done!

Not clickbait crap by any stretch
This show is well researched and engrossing. The episode about the “cannibal emperor” is dark and fascinating.

Unique among History Podcasts
Such a colorful cast of unique and fascinating characters throughout history. Narrator has a very pleasant voice & stories are fresh & interesting. Blackbeard episode is my favorite so far, but have many more to dive into!
