    Come back!
    I have only just found this show and am sad that it was so short-lived. An amusing way to listen to history.

    History, Humor & Accents.
    Love this show. I hope these guys do every country. My only critique is the background music volume should be lowered a bit. Love the show. I have recommended it to anyone who has ears. Colene Kane

    Close to perfect
    I really like this podcast. It's well organized, the information is interesting, and the hosts are entertaining. My only two gripes are that the background music is sometimes too loud, and I wish they wouldn't do voices when quoting sources. It can be hard to understand.

    Hilarious
    Aside from the fantastic title, the facts discussed are - as stated by other reviewers - fascinating. The history of Australia is darker than I ever could have imagined, and I only wish there were more episodes!!

    Loads of fun!
    My husband and I will be spending time in Australia soon, since our son has been living in Sydney for a couple of years. As a person who loves history, I was searching for something to add to my knowledge, which will also add to my enjoyment of the upcoming visit. I was lucky to stumble across this very well done, engaging and humorous history podcast. I enjoyed the episodes so much, I binged them all in a couple of days, and then listened to them again. I only wish there were more!

    Great start, then nothing
    This podcast had very promising first episodes, which I really enjoyed. There has been nothing since July. How disappointing!

    Entertaining history
    The two hosts make what could be a dull lecture into an engaging and entertaining story of the characters and adventures that make up Australia's history. A good dose of humor keeps the sometimes heavy material light and accessible.
