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

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I am absolutely in love with History Hit. I get regular updates on my favorite podcasts, which are (in no particular order) The Ancients, Gone Medieval, Not Just the Tudors, and Betwixt the Sheets.... See more

History Hit is everything I ever wanted…

History Hit is everything I ever wanted in a History channel. The documentaries are filled with actual events, insightful interviews with scholars, experts of a particular site, and the story is told in such a way as to engage, personally, the viewer. So much history delivered with much information and respect for the viewer. Thank you, History Hit, for all you do.

They won’t let you cancel

Everything was fine until I decided to cancel. You can only cancel on the website which won’t let me login. I requested historyhit reset my password but won’t, they never send me a reset email which they website says they will. Emails sent to support email are answered with FAQS which don’t work or ignored. I had to put a merchant block on my credit card.

Better programming

Much better programming than regular channels. Been trying to pull you up on Roku but no luck. Watching on tablet.

Brings history to life

I love history, so it’s always fun getting insights into many different topics with new refreshing viewpoints. Whether separating myth from facts or exploring myths to see how much truth is in them I never run out of content to choose from. They do bring history to life.

Day 26 - more rubbish about Apple.

Day 26
Another email from them claiming Apple is responsible for content - they are not — Apple deal with billing only they are not responsible for content … History Hit IS.
HH are the ones who promised me ad free podcasts once I subscribed- they are not doing this. So are in breach of contract.

They are totally ignoring the problem- dashboard won’t recognise my subscription - so pointless sending me info on how to use the dashboard to access the podcasts!
They are basically just sending rubbish replies.
Displaying total contempt for their customer.

They need to sort the problem out or refund my subscription.
Rarely have I encountered such poor customer service.

It’s quite simple- provide me with the services you said you would - ad free podcasts and stop trying to blame other companies.

Still waiting

Got a quick response via email, but it was asking questions about what my question was about. I answered that and then got another question about that response. Still waiting on a response to my initial question which dealt with using the Apple podcasts and Apple not recognizing my subscription and the question was how to get Apple to recognize the subscription is active.

Great value!

I subscribe to more than 10 content providers and no other service provides as much value as HH. The closest is Great Courses Plus, which costs twice as much and does not provide as many hours of new content each week. I watch on Roku as I exercise each day and listen to podcasts almost every day. The hosts are enthusiastic and make history fun! I am glad I found them. Great value!

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.
