Outstanding reliable source for history
Jan 31

S.V. L'Audace
Excellent written and spoken information that helps us to understand our past. Some of the information is amusing and some is very troubling, but it all gives us information that may help us to improve our ability to make better decisions going forward. Unlike many sources, it is very well researched.

Terrible interface

This app is so clunky. There is no way to search between podcast and video and article. It is all jumbled together with a huge font, and no filters beyond genre. I subscribed to avoid the ads. But any other podcast app is better than this. There’s no way to set a sleep timer or change the speed of the podcast. There is no way I can find to see a chronology of all the podcasts thru the years.Some are set up as collections & you can individually search by historic era, but you have to click on each item to see if it is audio, video, or print. This is one of my favorite podcasts, and I hate the ads, but I cannot figure out how to navigate this ad-free interface effectively.

The Middle Path with Content Consumption

I’m Gen Z and recently turned 25 and woke up realizing I had given so much of my conscious attention away to algorithmically generated advertisements and horrors. History Extra is a way that lets me get the satisfaction of finding something genuinely interesting on my phone without opening a social media app at all.
