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

I love the channel

I love the channel. It’s full of great content. Diverse programming about history topics. Well made. Unfortunately I can’t justify the monthly subscription for the amount I would watch it. I may reconsider again in the future.

History has always been a huge interest for me so I'm thoroughly enjoying the varied documentaries on HistoryHit. At the moment I'm catching up on my favourite periods Richard the Third and the Tudors but I will venture out of my comfort zone and explore other areas.

Very informative episodes covering a huge range of subjects. The presenters are clearly experts in their fields.
An update to the app would be appreciated to make it easier to navigate. There are some channels that are part of History Hits I cannot find on the app such as Betwixt The Sheets.

No customer service

Numerous support emails unanswered. No customer service whatsoever. Cancelled 7 days prior to rollover but still took my money. Have sent several messages to support address which have gone unanswered. Am having to go to the bank to get my money refunded. Would give zero stars if I could.

Reply from History Hit

Hi Tania, Thanks for your email, sorry for your poor experience. From what I can deduce, we did email you back with instructions of how to cancel your subscription. I can see that it was only the 1 email you sent to the support@historyhit.com inbox. However, as our response was slower than expected, I have refunded you the payment.

History hit really good value

Easy to sign up and with the code from the podcasts of Dan Snow I got 3 months off. The documentaries are well done and span from ancient Egypt to 2nd world war with particular attention to UK and American history.
There is a documentary for every taste....highly recommended for the whole family

The narrators are so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. It is impossible not be absolutely enthralled in the details and perspectives the experts bring to their respective subjects. It’s well organised, up to date, informative and the information is delivered in a way that it is accessible and at times illuminating. Even though I may feel that I have a sound knowledge of a specific topic I always learn something new. Thanks History Hit team. An Aussie fan.

I love access to all the different eras, but like a commenter above, I'd like to learn more about other European countries. Also, sometimes the direct interviews with experts are hard to follow, due to the eccentricities or presentation styles of the guests.

I like the content a lot and took a paid account. That said the own app is not always the most reliable and connection is lost. I connected my "Castbox" streaming app but I still get extra adds so not sure what I did wrong.

History - something for everyone

I am a history nerd. My primary interest is the European Middle Ages, and as a Dane my perspective is often different from Britain based History Hit.
I have enjoyed the Gone Medieval and other History Hit podcasts for a couple of years, as a subscriber I now also have access to the documentaries.
I love that new discoveries are covered quickly in the podcasts.
I have one wish: Could we have some documentaries focusing more on 'the rest of Europe'??
