Awful company. Quick to take your money. Keen to keep on taking your money. Excellent at overcharging you. Rubbish at giving your money back or even acknowledging emails. Awful, awful, awfu... See more

It's nice to have access to a range of short 'explainer' type videos and I enjoy the longer more 'in depth' ones to get into topics I'm interested in. I've enjoyed the James Holland series on the Ital... See more

Overall I enjoy History Hit. Two requests: stop interrupting women guest historians and listen more as you do with male guest historians; level the audio - I couldn't watch the Lucy Worsley episode... See more

Love the Variety

I subscribed to History Hit and love the variety of topics and styles of the documentaries. My only concern is that I will never get a chance to watch everything I want too.

Exceptional Content with Impressive Depth and Range

I've been an avid listener of the History Hit network for years, and it continues to impress me more with each passing season. The episodes are consistently well-researched, beautifully produced, and thoughtfully presented. What keeps me subscribed is the incredible breadth and depth of topics covered—there's always something new, surprising, and deeply engaging. From Dan Snow's History Hit to Not Just the Tudors, every show in the lineup is top-notch—there truly isn’t a weak link in the mix.

Price and Technical Issues

Subscrption from South Africa with the current exchange rate makes it far too expensive for the average family. During the trial period, I had almost daily technical issues with the selected documentary crashing, and if you pause to make a cup of tea or make supper and want to carry on later, the documentary either doesn't start again or goes back to the beginning. Not good streaming quality with there usually being a sound sync problem.

Not happy…

Although it was supposed to be a free trial, money was taken from my account instantly. I have tried to cancel my subscription to no avail.

This is a generally good blog with very good writing. Engaging and works well with just sound and might work better just with sound as the production qualities and presentation of images is it's let down.Repeated film clips from Second World War scenes lets it down now and again.Perhaps they should think of a graphic way to replace grey repeated footage. Looks like they are saving money here and there. Perhaps we are spoilt with high production values of TV history programmes where this cannot compete.Generally good.

Absolutely brilliant content!

Absolutely brilliant content! All of the presenters are knowledgeable, articulate and engaging. The podcasts are among my go-to listens when commuting and the videos often keep me company in the kitchen.
Highly recommend these to anyone looking for an accessible and entertaining windows on the past!

Material great Tech not so much

I love the material HH presents, covering a huge range of historical subjects and periods. My one beef if the app, it’s not very intuitive and I can’t figure out how to get it up in my tv at all.

First class history channel …

This is a fantastic channel for anyone who loves history and the amazing stories it holds. I started subscribing because I wanted to watch Prof. Susannah Lipscombe's series 'A World Torn Apart' which I'd seen advertised. I'm so glad I did as the programmes were excellent and I then discovered Dan Snow's and then Mike Loades' series - all excellent, enthusiastially presented and obviously based on thorough background research. Recently, I've particularly enjoyed 'A voice for Richard'(the third), which revealed groundbreaking discoveries about this enigmatic king. Keep up the good work, History Hit!

I really like this podcast

I really like this podcast. Unlike some other History podcast Dan doesnt 'banter' with his co-hosts/guests. Wish there would be more on the history of the Middle East and Far East and Japan.

British historians

I think , it was 15 year ago when I saw the documentaries of sir Kenneth Clark, and I like them.In the same period of time I saw Bettany Hughes ‘s documentaries( she was slim then🙂.It is not a problem for me that she gain weight.I am happy that she didn’t change the beautiful way in which she tells stories)and I like them as well .I liked the way that they told the stories and since then I was focused to the Brit historians .So I was happy to find a British site with historical documentaries.The thing that makes different the British historians then others în my opinion, is: the enthusiasm.They not only love their job but are passionate about their job.This makes me pay attention to what they say.To me the site works well.I have watched some documentaries.I haven’t tried yet broadcasts.I have seen that they have interesting articles as well.So far I am content by this site and I keep using it.

Content is great

Content is great.
Many programs do not come with closed captioning, which makes them unavailable to me.
