History storytelling at its finest with Dan Snow’s History Hit

🎧 History deep dives truly live up to the name on Dan Snow’s History Hit. The British-Canadian historian and TV presenter brings gripping stories of past figures, empires, events, monuments, and more with the acclaimed podcast network.

A podcast for true history buffs: Spanning nearly 2k engrossing hour-long episodes, Snow takes listeners back in time through richly detailed accounts drawn from prominent history books and leading historians. From battles and royal scandals to iconic love stories, great war figures, and the hidden lore behind major cities, the show taps into history’s vast archive without missing a beat.

The person behind the legend: In one episode, Snow dives into the singular story of Joan of Arc — a name we all recognize, but rarely explore beyond the surface. The episode sheds light on her personal life and the impact she left behind. With immersive narration, Snow traces her life from a teenage peasant in a small French town to her miraculous way up the political ranks, eventually earning a spot in the French military, ardent as ever and driven by unwavering faith and prophetic visions to expel the English forces.

What we liked: History Hit isn’t your average history podcast.
