    Great podcast
    Bailey is informative with such a cute, funny delivery. I loved her makeup vids but have turned to the podcast while working. She’s too pretty to look away from! She is so fun to listen to!

    Dear Bailey
    It’s Women in STEM fields day. And then it came to me. Why don’t you do an episode about Ada Lovelace. Guess what: she’s the daughter of a famous man we have all ready talked about.

    Why do you sound so nasally?
    Used to enjoy the recaps when she was doing makeup and murders, and rediscovered the podcast recently. I absolutely HATE how she sounds now! Like why are you forcing yourself to sound like you don’t know how to breathe properly? It’s that weird, forced, super nasally, white girl seeking attention voice and it’s so hard to listen to. Couldn’t stand to listen to it. One star because what happened?

    Love both your pocasts/videos!
    have been a huge fan on Bailey since i was a teen watching makeup videos and I'm 30 now lol. I also love true crime so i was soo excited when you started making Videos on the topic then i was easily hooked on dark history. Bailey you are the best!

    Obsessed
    I love Bailey and her YouTube and podcast. She takes complicated topics and makes them interesting and understandable. Even the darkest topics she leaves you empathic to the event but not depressed for the rest of the day. I am looking forward to the day she finds my story and does a MMM! Love you Bailey! Slayyyy

    I’ve been listening to you for years now and still love you just as much as I did when I first started listening please don’t ever stop ! You should cover Santa Cruz Ca and how it was the murder capital and how it connects to the lost boys movie
  • CeeCee_Gurl💀💀💀
    Bro, This show is bangin!
    I couldn’t recommend a better history podcast. Bailey is snarky, sarcastic and humorous. If your reading this, wondering “hmmm…Should I listen to this?” I’m telling you it’s worth it 100%

    Literally Laughing Out Loud
    Bailey is always funny. I’m continuously hurting my stomach laughing SO hard.
  • Bettina763
    One of my favorite podcasts!
    As soon as I see there’s a new episode, I go straight to that show! Very informative and entertaining. Excellent research on everything. Thank you to Bailey and her team for a brilliant show.

    Worthy
    These episodes are actually worth the listening to. I’ve been going through chemotherapy for six months and this is a podcast that don’t annoy me or get boring. Like other girls who have copied her. Trying to do. What she started
  • Ddcountry
    Informative and entertaining
    She is easy to listen to and does well researched shows. Bailey brings light to many critical events we never knew about but have huge effects on our daily lives.

    Addicting. Inspiring. Dark. Sexy.
    Listening to Dark History is like sitting down with your coolest friend who just happens to have unearthed all the skeletons in history’s closet—literally and figuratively. Bailey Sarian doesn’t just spill the tea; she brews it strong, pours it into a vintage cup, and serves it with a side of ‘how-did-I-not-know-this’ facts. Her grounded approach is refreshing—no political soapboxes, no religious rabbit trails, just the raw, sometimes unsettling truth. She’s like a modern-day history detective who guides you through the weird, wild, and downright shady past without ever losing her chill. The best part? Every episode leaves me clutching my coffee and diving headfirst into even darker rabbit holes. Who knew uncovering the skeletons of history could be so entertaining? 10/10 recommend—but maybe don’t listen in the dark unless you want to question everything you thought you knew about the world. Brava to Bailey and the whole Dark History team!

    History no B.S.
    All of the embarrassing and gruesome parts of history we didn’t learn in school. Her sarcasm and humor are so relatable. I really look forward to the new episodes.

  • ElliotBayR

    Dark history suggestion
    Hello Bailey, my name is Beowolf I I am a humongous fan and I was wondering could you do a podcast about the Berlin Wall in East Germany, me and my mom were talking about how it was A big thing in history. I think it would be cool if you did it

    Storyline is pretty interesting, but…
    Stories are pretty interesting however I hate so many commercials. I feel like if I hear one more time Smile 2 horror movie add, I am going to turn this off. Add there one or two times during an episode and we get the message, but when it’s every 3-5 minutes it’s super annoying.

    pretty good ngl

    Gotta Listen
    I love Bailey she is a great story teller. I watched her YouTube channel all the time at work (I work night shift) and loved it. When I ran out of Murder Mystery and Makeup videos I started on Dark History and fell in love. The stories she chose are always super informative and mind blowing definitely not stuff you learned in school. I love history and this is a super fun way to learn new things.

    Please get rid of the background music
    I’ve been listening to Dark History for a long time and absolutely love Bailey Sarian. I wish they had never added background music. It’s extremely hard for me to listen to her talk with the music that they’ve started playing in the background. I’ve had to skip some episodes because the background music makes the experience so awful. I absolutely could not listen to the two episodes about Stalin. Please just let Bailey talk without all that noise!

    Dark History is the Bible of dark history!
    Six months ago, I discovered this podcast after a severe injury. I was unable to work and had many nights of restless sleep. Bailey got me through this time with her wit and wisdom and I didn’t ever feel lonely while laying around and waiting for the healing process to end. Thank you, Bailey and Joan, for being the BFFs I needed!

    Hi Bailey just so you know what flugtag is
    The annual contest has teams build homemade, human-powered aircraft. Contestants then push their creations off an 8.5 meter (28 foot)-tall platform over a body of water. The goal is to see which will stay aloft the longest. The lighthearted Flugtag competition takes place in different cities around the world. I love your podcast keep it up love your humor Love,Mae
  • Akdorr80
    Awesome
    So much great unknown history! And in a super entertaining way. I love her humor!
  • LindseyMicheleLMT
    Standing Favorite
    Bailey Sarian stands out among all podcast hosts I have encountered. I learn something every episode, but she also makes me laugh every episode with her comical, quirky remarks that feel unscripted and like you're listening to a friend tell you a story. She keeps the content engaging and keeps her episodes at a relatively digestible length. Much recommended.
  • kodasunshine
    I really wanted to like this
    But, it almost seems like you’re listening to an oral report by a child. The story line is basic, disorganized, and is told in a childish way.
  • eelneg
    We need more!
    I love how soothing your voice is, great delivery very clear and engaging. You enhance our attidufes and help me unwind. Clearly Bailey sis I need you to keep coming out with more episodes girl! Like asap we in September. Here's an idea dark history of birth control, dark history of what is now known Dominican Republic and Haiti. Just please it's been 2 weeks

    Comfort
    I binged watched all of the poltergeist and got a little scared and came to your podcast dark history right after for comforting 😂😂😂
  • TrueCrimeListener19
    LOVEEEEEEE
    I love the history lessons & honestly dumbing things down for me. In history classes they would use words that I had 0 idea what they meant. I love the attention to details & creating a common ground where everyone listening understands ❤️❤️❤️
  • history_ja
    Ugh
    Wanted to like this. Gave it a few episodes. She talks like she’s on something so it’s a hard listen for me. I also don’t need her political opinions to shine through constantly.
  • Str@eberryJ@m
    Well researched, well spoken
    I’m in love with Bailey. She’s an absolute queen.

    Catacombs
    I’ve always wanted to go see the catacombs! Go and share your experience with us.
  • adorable_freak
    Idea?
    Is there any dark history about how concerts came about ? Like how did someone get heard of before phones and tv and maybe even news paper? Like did the Egyptians go on tours or sum shi😂. I dont even know if this will make any sense but I figured why not. lol.
  • Lexi V. 1995
    Love Bailey and her podcasts
    Dark History and Murder, Mystery, and Makeup are two of my favorite Podcasts! Bailey is an amazing story teller, she always tries to add a little humor to her Dark History episodes while being respectful at the same time. I look forward to new episodes every week.
  • Ruby staloch
    Love Bailey!!
    This podcast is fantastic!! Bailey is such a good story teller!!! There are a good bit of ads but it’s worth it!! Would it be possible to maybe do the dark history of a certain decade?? Like the dark history of the 50s or 80s?? Love you Bailey, you’re the best!!
  • delierious
    Episode recommendation + glowing review
    First and foremost I absolutely love this podcast. I have learned so much and it’s always entertaining. Bailey Sarian is the bff you always wished you had. I would love to have a history lesson on the cruise ship The Queen Mary. She has a wonderful history that I feel more people need to know about
  • Brandiland86
    Like your bestie started a podcast
    Bailey is like listening to your best friend give you the latest scoop.. if the latest scoop was some creepy cool history that is. Seriously love this podcast so much.
  • Lulzmanstalk
    Ad breaks
    I like the content of the podcast, but the editing is downright awful. The ad breaks are abrupt and often in the middle of a sentence. I just finished an episode that had cuts of dialogue from a completely different episode and then would cut back to the current episode. I turned it off and unfollowed the show for good. I can’t get past the ads and the poor editing.
