Hearted Youtube comments on The Rest Is History (@restishistorypod) channel.

  1. I'm a young American who was taught startlingly little about this era of history, and am so grateful to be able to learn about it with you guys' energy and perspective! I found your channel from the videos on the 1968 campaign, and have enjoyed the variety of topics I've seen covered so far - I hope you both know that people of all ages greatly appreciate your channel 😊

  3. I know I am getting old (& truly happy) when the highlight of my Saturday night is clicking on this belter.

  4. Anyone else “like” these podcasts before even listening, because you just know how good it will be! 😂👍

  5. Awwww this was a pleasant surprise - that’s where I did my tailoring apprenticeship after studying tailoring at UAL. I now run a tailoring shop in a small town in Colombia 😌

  6. If you ever wonder how you are received in America, please know that this 67 year-old who has lived in Texas 44 years, thinks you both are brilliant and your presentation is outstanding. I have only recently discovered your podcast, but I am binging past episodes with pleasure. Thank you and Cheers!

  7. People that claim that history is boring and dull, should listen to these two.
    190
  8. The history sector on YouTube has been inundated with soulless and highly inaccurate AI channels. This is perfectly paced and riveting. Thanks.
    189
  9. Hope you guys keep on doing the video format! Love it with the other „Rest is“ shows!

  10. Franks to the left of me, Saracens to the right, stuck in the middle Odo.
    174
  11. The animation definetely helped understand the layout of the battle. Was a nice touch, thank you
    170
  12. American listener here and it cracks me up every time Dominic calls us Tax dodgers or the American colonies I love his commitment to his patriotism
    168
  13. Finding this channel feels like finding treasure.
    167
  14. Ok I have only recently discovered your podcast and my husband and I listen together always excited to hear the next installment. It’s such a wonderful way to escape the 💩 that is going on in the world today. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job 😊
    162
  15. Tom killed that wolf with his bare hands, just for this episode. Hardcore history.
    161
  16. This is the only podcast I have ever paid for. I have absolutely no regrets. It is a genuine pleasure to support such enjoyable and enriching content. The rest is history will change history.
    153
  17. Ive just landed my plane to listen to this. My passengers can wait.
    151
  18. You have outdone yourself Tom! Bravo!
    150
  19. It is such a pleasure to watch the hosts spark off each other.
    145
  20. After watching a thousand movies, documentaries and books on World War 2, its unbelievably refreshing that I'm simultaneously rolling in the aisles and at the edge of my seat to hear what comes next! Bravo, you guys are spectacular historians!
    142
  21. Looking forward to the Franco Prussian War with Zendaya next week!
    136
  22. Please don’t end this series!! It’s too good ❤❤
    132
  23. Another cracking episode guys! Rather bizarre to admit, but this humble podcast has actually succeeded in helping me handle my chronic anxiety. There's nothing like hearing two intelligent and very funny historians making light of all the hitherto random nonsense that's happened over the course of history to humanity to force you to laugh at the folly of it all and, most importantly, to stop taking one's own life so seriously. I really must thank you both for what you do!
    127
  24. I can't tell you how much I love your podcasts. I am getting my son to buy me the membership. You lift my spirits and educate me. I loathed History at school but since I found both of you life just got better.🥰🥰🥰
    119
  25. Why couldn't Caligula get anything passed in the Roman Senate? His horse kept casting too many neigh votes.
    118
  26. Merry Christmas all.
    113
  27. I'm really enjoying the video versions of the podcast - I do think the images add to the the impact. I have to confess that I usually binge the episodes when they become available, and am enjoying revising the episodes again by watching them in addition.
    111
  28. I can’t get enough of this podcast. More 20th century history please!
    106
  29. Fascinating! Gripping! Hanging on to every word. I wish you had been teachers in my many history classes. Thanks so much!
    106
  30. These Martin Luther podcasts are the best Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrooke have done on The Rest Is History Podcast! I learned so much and laughed 😂a lot, as well.
    105
  31. I wish many more people hear about Dominic Sandbrook and Tom Holland. These guys are the most watchable historians on YouTube--knowledgeable, insightful, good-natured and fair. Loved this absorbing 8-part series on the Battle of Little Bighorn and watched some episodes two or three times. Not just for the light shed on the personalities and motives of the men who fought there--Custer, Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, Gall, Reno and Benteen--but also for the analysis of background events in the Grant administration that brought them together in that remote spot in southeastern Montana on Sunday, June 25, 1876. I must confess I also thoroughly enjoyed the droll character sketches of George Crook and Alfred Howe Terry. Great stuff, gentlemen. I wish your channel all success.
    104
  32. The Kaiser is the patron saint of this podcast, he's in like literally every episode, he's such a comic figure, at least before his exile.
    103
  33. I never thought American Political History could be so funny, this is by far the best I have listened to
    98
  34. Dominic’s face while Tom is singing is priceless 😂😂😂
    96
  35. This podcast is a treasure. Here’s to many years of podcasts to come.
    91
  36. I've been hooked on this series on Byron. A wealth of fascinating material and insight, exceptionally handled and presented. Im going to finally tackle Childe Harold and Don Juan. Many thanks to you both 😊
    91
  37. Great episode. It makes me think about the misinformation we are being fed today. Not a happy thought!
    91
  38. I was really having a bummer Monday man. Just a bummer. Then I saw a new video from these two. Suddenly, the clouds broke and I saw the sun shining through a clearing of trees ahead. I see a glimmer in the light. Hope is restored! Fight on!
    89
  39. Tom Hanks is the ultimate dad, I love it, he’s just so pure and genuine in his interest in history, for someone with a very fortunate and successful career elsewhere.
    86
  40. Already listened to this episode on sporify. But Tom's facial expresions while doing a german accent in the intro enhances the viewing experience.
    81
  41. Holland and Sandbrook looking elegant and polished! Be still my beating heart. Love the episode. Love the look.
    81
  42. ex pat brit living in California here and love listening to these if only to help me maintain a reasonable level of Britishness in my speech
    80
  43. Even though the outcome is no surprise I'm still hyped for these episodes. Its been a banger!
    79
  44. The two of you are so entertaining and so well informed at the same time. I so thoroughly enjoy every podcast. Thank you gents
    79
  45. Just awesome work from you two…and all the behind the scenes folks. Thank you.
    79
  46. Great episode! Love the extended length. Thank you both for your diligent work :)
    78
  47. Guess I'll be listening to this on headphones in work this morning. Greetings from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹
    77
  48. Hello guys, I'm working here in Los Angeles. Night shift enforcement. Your episodes are amazing. So much detailed information is greatly appreciated. The narration is likewise top-notch. Through your episodes I feel the emotions of the people involved in this tragic war.
    76
  49. I do hope you stick with this YT format. It's so easy to keep up with podcasts this way, and it does add to the reinforcement of the research and work that you both do for your podcast. Onwards and upwards!
    73
  50. You two have been a gift this year, thankyou.
    73
  51. I found you guys about 6 months ago and now cant go to bed without listening to a new or former episode. They are all fantastic. Thank you.
    73
  52. So far, I've watched your series on Custer, The French Revolution, and the Roman invasion of Britian. I find you guys brilliant, informative, and extremely entertaining as a fan boy from "across the pond". I can only imagine the amount of work and preparation required to produce such great content. Keep up the great work but please don't get burned out guys. Thanks again!
    72
  53. This podcast is a real grower. I especially enjoy how you guys bring life to the minor characters in the story as they experience the events that unfold around them.
    71
  54. Tom is the Marlon Brando of history podcasts
    71
  55. You guys don’t understand how much I appreciate you. Thanks for the endless hours of entertainment and knowledge you share. Merry Christmas to you and a happy new year my good fellows
    69
  56. I think Dominic's face expressed every emotion a human can experience at the start there.
    68
  57. Top bants - top entertainment - top information. How can educative podcasts be so entertaining? Hats off to you both.
    66
  58. You guys make history so interesting,it was a subject I hated at school and I now truly appreciate.
    64
  59. When I was 13 - 50 years ago, we had a history teacher who taught us about Trafalgar and the battle of the Nile for a term. I didn’t listen to one word, too busy with other thoughts. This is a 100% fascinating podcast and I so regret the error of my teenage ways.
    62
  60. Totally enjoying this series on the French Revolution ... have already listened to all 8 episodes ... and now re-listening to each one of them to see what detail I might have missed ... this series is a triumph😍 Thank you so much🙏🏽
    60
  61. Excellent formula for this one. Because it's Dom's expertise Tom can just sit back and quip for the whole thing so it's both very informative and very funny. Top job
    59
  62. Franz Josef had already been goaded into two disastrous wars in which he believed he was in the right - in 1859 and 1866. The religious sense had always been a part of Habsburg policy. An excellent episode btw.
    58
  63. How wonderfully marvelous. This story caught me in an armchair, on the deck of a cruise ship and we’re currently anchored between Tenerife and Gomera.
    58
  64. Today, I became a Friend of the Show. Cheers guys.
    57
  65. You have both genuinely got me interested in history for the first time, and even got me excitedly telling my daughter the stories I hear on your show! Thank you so much 🫶
    56
  66. Really appreciate you guys releasing these closer together. 1 day I will be a patron.
    53
  67. I absolutely love your content guys, you bring history to life, and youve given me a better understanding of western history and how it pertains to the modern day... Thanking you for your podcasts
    53
  68. Your podcast deserves far more attention and recognition than your subscription count. You should have twenty times the number. It has to be my favorite history podcast
    52
  69. Mein Gott !!! Das war wunderbar !
    51
  70. Love the banter between them and they make history fun. My favourite podcast and never to be beaten!
    51
  71. So excited you guys are continuing the FR story. I commented on a video in the first series saying I wish you guys would keep going right through the Napoleonic era, I like to think you saw that and thought what a good idea! 😊
    50
  72. I love Tom for his commitment on looking the most frankish possible without a wig. ❤ Brilliant episode, guys! ❤️
    49
  73. Thank you so much for these podcasts. You two bring life to history in such a vibrant and relatable way. I've burned through almost every podcast and thus grabbed the membership to get the newest ones. I feel like I understand the world that much more after listening and will constantly hear tangents/tidbits that I now know so much more context around. Please never stop!
    48
  74. I love this! I listen to the podcast but, these are such a bonus seeing Tom and Dom’s expressions and laughter! Thank you for uploading these videos 👍🏻
    48
  75. The way I BURST out laughing at 44:17 at Dominic’s face and the slow zoom 😂 The lovely humor and rapport of the two hosts make these podcasts so delightfully engaging.
    45
  76. This channel is exploding in popularity and for good reason!! I’ve never seen a channel quite like it, keep up the phenomenal work lads!!
    45
  77. So glad to see you're doing these again! Already listened to the episode but watching this as well! 😊
    44
  78. Gripping and exciting, wish you were both teaching history at my son's school!
    43
  79. 100k followers is weird when there are channels who cut/paste wiki to audio have 1m followers. These two are the real deal, they tell the story and the facts and the nuances, use analogues, use humour, I've watched a few of these now and i have such a clear picture in my head of the events, its come to life, i can recall them because you told them in a way that i learn, the other channels don't do that, i watch them but i never retain the info because it was not memorable. So thankyou for the education and entertainment, this is now my favourite channel on youtube.
    42
  80. This was a lovely Boxing Day treat. Have to say that I am envious of Holland's new suit.
    42
  81. Can’t get enough of this channel, keep up the good work fellas!
    42
  82. This is by FAR, the best channel on youtube and should be required watching for all. From NYC, thank you so much, great content!!! Merry Xmas to you all! Enjoy!!
    42
  83. I found your channel quite recently and I'm hooked. Keep up the great efforts Gents
    40
  84. As an admirer of LBJ (warts and all) I really appreciated this episode. A complex man who showed all the strengths and weaknesses and almost without guile or deception. I look forward to the next instalment. Bravo gentlemen.
    39
  85. YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME !!!
    38
  86. You guys are simply astounding! Thank you tremendously for the rest is history!
    37
  87. Supposedly, Kennedy said that he kept Johnson overseas all the time as VP because he couldn't stand to look at his basset hound face. Kind of hilarious.
    37
  88. Best podcast ever, glad to see more activity on Youtube.
    36
  89. I'm in the south of Brazil, it's a hot friday night, this delightful podcast has entertained and educated me for the whole week, and now, as I sit down drinking a caipirinha, I will listen to the sixth episode of this series. Thank you very much for your amazing work!
    36
  90. You two are like waking up to a glass of fine wine. Cheers gents!
    36
  91. Fascinating. A temporally prescient analysis. History doesn’t repeat itself “but it rhymes”. Bravo.
    36
  92. Can there ever be too much banter? Sitting on the couch giggling about Roman history, my family thinks it very curious. Great episode :)
    36
  93. Yessss! I've been waiting for this for months!
    35
  94. Better than watching a movie. Well done, fellas.
    35
  95. Thanks guys, seems every day is a a learning day with you two.
    35
  96. Excellent idea! Although we sometimes see Tom on our screens in Canada, I don’t think we’ve been graced with Dominic’s presence.😊
    34
  97. Funny and engaging. Can't get enough of these witty, spirited gents
    34
  98. Good afternoon from the SF Bay Area. This has been such a great series, thank you. WWI is a real challenge to understand. Keep it up!
    34
  99. I just binged these series yesterday/today (watched the last two episodes twice lol) and I was JUST about to watch another one of your series but you guys came through! Love from a tax dodger across the pond!
    34
  100. thank you for this podcast! i just found you recently, and now, at 63 years old, understand the things my teachers were trying to teach all those years ago!
    34
  101. You guys are great. Working my way thru your back catalogue.
    33
  102. Perfect! Love to see the banter!
    33
  103. picture my delight yesterday evening as I set off on a 2 hour 15 minutes drive and saw this posted with a 2 hour 15 minute run time
    33
  104. This is my favorite series of episodes from the podcast yet. I only hope you make it a 50 odd part series and include the Napoleonic Era.
    32
  105. Are there any barbers on Chatham High Street?
    32
  106. Best history podcast! Recommend you to everyone.
    32
  107. Tom clearly just popped out of that bed in the background. Brilliant transition. Good for him.
    31
  108. I am addicted to this channel!
    31
  109. This is excellent, as your work consistently demonstrates.
    31
  110. I must write it as a compliment. I've been listening to your podcasts on spotify for years now and I had always imagined you guys as 20-ish-year-old blokes because of the enthusiasm and lack of know-it-all sort of tone. When I saw your only slighly more mature faces here I suddenly understood the source of the depth of knowledge you share. Chapeau bas!
    31
  111. For one brief moment I thought Fred Astaire and Laurence Olivier had taken over The Rest Is History. Then I realised it was just Tom and Dom in posh suits.
    31
  112. Mark Felton's excellent channel has just under 2M subscribers. There's such a thirst for history on YT that the potential for this channel to grow is massive. Go big on more graphics and videos clips over narration is my humble advice.
    30
  113. Good to see another episode back on YouTube!
    30
  114. These two gentlemen are superb. I thoroughly enjoy listening to them nerd out.
    30
  115. I am delighted you are delving into WWI
    30
  116. I love you guys, always makes my day when one of these drops.
    30
  117. Throughout this series of podcasts, I have envisioned the people as Brian Blessed, Sian Philips, Patrick Stewart and George Baker. John Hurt, Christopher Biggins, and Derek Jacobi to come. Looking forward to them. Great work, Tom and Dominic.
    29
  118. This is the most interesting thing I’ve ever seen in my life
    29
  119. It’s wonderful to hear such an in-depth exploration of the politics around MLK from British historians. As an American I think we need the rest of the world’s views to give us better perspective on the issue of race, which is still so unresolved in our politics and culture.
    29
  120. I listen to them at least 3 hours a day.
    29
  121. Man i love this channel!! Thank you gentlemen brilliant stuff, good lengthy and in depth historical info, 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
    28
  122. Easily my favourite history show!!
    28
  123. Brilliant!!! Loved every minute of this. So well made! The suits looked fantastic, and the expertise was fascinating. What an incredible company! Great spin off. Dominic, you looked so handsome! Tom, elegant as ever 😀
    28
  124. Thank you for making history so much more accessible to all!
    28
  125. I enjoy all your podcasts, but the episodes on the Little Big Horn had me riveted throughout. What characters! And how you brought them vividly to life. Well done, and very many thanks.
    28
  126. Thanks very much to you both. These are terrific.
    28
  127. The intro… simply amazing ❤
    27
  128. Never been so hyped for worms in my life
    27
  129. Un véritable tour de force. Brilliant
    27
  130. Thank you so much for this excellent distraction! So well-timed.
    27
  131. Absolute brilliant content. I Got recommended by a friend to watch this episode and now you have a devoted fan and subscriber.
    26
  132. I am so glad you did this! I have not been able to face this story and will now Hochschilds book. Thanks guys! This is what history should be!
    26
  133. I love this presentation of history as a dialogue. So engaging!. Thanks!
    26
  134. Needs to be made into a "Death of Stalin" type of movie.
    26
  135. this is the best channel ever
    26
  136. I'm calling this the Wolf Coat series.
    26
  137. North American here. I feel like the 3 of us could sit down for coffee, tea and biscuits of something, and enjoy each others company. I picked up on Dom's Churchill impression right away in another video. I'm amused by 2 Brits talking about someone like US general George Custer. I love the War of 1812 and American Revolution from British perspectives. God save the Knights Who Say Ni.
    26
  138. Merry Christmas!
    25
  139. I know it's extra work, but I do enjoy video podcasts. Unless I'm walking or driving, then audio only. Cheers boys.
    25
  140. My goodness this is so exciting. I am hanging on every word like I did for the Custer series, thank you!
    24
  141. No. 1 Tom Holland fan here. Big up Dommie Sanders as well.
    24
  142. I've just stumbled upon this channel and have already watched five videos. Very impressed and hope this channel gains the much wider audience that it deserves.
    23
  143. What an exciting lesson in history, Dominic and Tom are a true treasure with a well balanced version of the revolution.
    23
  144. Absolutely the most entertaining approach to the history of The Little Big Horne battle with the British touch of humor.
    22
  145. That joke about the young fella not standing on the deck, but hopping, was brutal. 10/10.
    22
  146. Ahh, the highlight of my day
    22
  147. I love history ( though I’m not intelligent like yourselves and your listeners ) and I love the topics you cover and how you ( in a non sensational way ) keep us hanging with your series . I get excited when I see a new episode released .
    22
  148. I typically laugh as much as I learn watching you lads, but that opening was something else. Outstanding.
    21
  149. LOVE the video format.
    21
  150. This might be my favourite series yet. Thank you!
    21
  151. Great work as always lads, much love ❤️
    21
  152. Boadicea sounding remarkably like Thatcher😮
    21
  153. Terrific stuff, gents! Highly entertaining.
    21
  154. Amazing descriptions, you guys depict such vivid scenes
    21
  155. "History's greatest monkeys soon." What a cliffhanger! Thanks for the great episode on Carthage.
    21
  156. "Is there a spa?" I was saying it at the exact same time.
    21
  157. A truly excellent series - most entertaining & informative ! 👍👍
    20
  158. Brilliantly presented.
    20
  159. Appreciate the effort put into these! I like the intros to camera
    20
  160. Damn, you two make history interesting. A great pairing. Thank you for this series.
    19
  161. Until 1916, it was a statutory requirement for all members of the British Army to wear a moustache. Uniform regulation command number 1695 stipulated “the hair of the head will be kept short. The chin and the under-lip will be shaved, but not the upper lip…”. Mustaches were trimmed back or shaved with the urgent need for a good seal on a gas mask.
    19
  162. Such splendid storytelling!!! Keep at it!
    19
  163. This is a nice surprise before I go to work
    19
  164. Thank you both for so entertainingly educating us about history.
    19
  165. These 2 are national treasures
    18
  166. I've been listening to seasons 1 and 2 over and over, waiting for this day.
    18
  167. That was an adorable thing to witness. Both the History Lads looked SMASHING in their Saville Row suites, and it was an odd sort of privilege to see the process of their becoming suited unfolding. (Suitification?) Who doesn't love a glimpse of master tailors at work? And one last thought: Waistcoats ARE as elegant as eff, and Tom was RIGHT to have one!
    18
  168. I wanted to thank you for the work you put into the podcasts I enjoy, everyone. Best wishes for Christmas and the new year. X
    18
  169. Merry Christmas, Tom & Dom. Tom "Paulinus" Holland, your prose rocks! I'm reading Rubicon right now and am enjoying it.
    18
  170. Did you do the animations yourselves? Henry V's eyebrows are great. When his left eye goes up his smile broadens. I think he likes that.
    18
  171. Merry Christmas boys. There’s so little about Charlemagne in pop culture. I’ll enjoy this. 🎄
    18
  172. Brilliant episode! Just one reminder: "When you're going to San Francisco, be sure to wear flowers in your hair!!
    18
  173. Tom, how smart do you look!
    18
  174. Love this podcast form of The Rest Is History! Keep it up please.
    17
  175. What an amazing bit of history... Excellent Tom and Dom.
    17
  176. I always enjoy Tom Holland. His books are well worth reading.
    17
  177. Thank you for a thoroughly informative and fascinating episode. I recently discovered your podcast, and I am besotted. I appreciate your fascinating discussions on variety of intriguing issues and people and your courage to cover controversial subjects with objectivity. Thanking you from North Carolina 🇺🇸.
    17
  178. That was wonderful, thank you so much. I didn't know Nelson was in the American colonies when the British Navy evacuated Loyalists. Some of my grandma's ancestors were on those ships headed to Nova Scotia. Thank you for mentioning the Black Loyalists. They deserve a whole episode one day.
    17
  179. Relaxing, jovial, "light but serious", intriguing, entertaining and so informative and educational! You guys are great.
    17
  180. Holiday morning here in USA...best moment is a quote of Nelson...more juicy than any turkey
    17
  181. I could listen to the three of you for hours.
    16
  182. Another brilliant episode, thanks both we all really appreciate it!
    16
  183. Happy New Year Gents!
    16
  184. Yes! This stuff is gold! Thank you
    16
  185. Best podcast/ series I have seen in long while. Chapeau mes amis.
    16
  186. "The American Revolution . . . not all bad." Love it!
    16
  187. Believe it or not, the rest is history is also listened to by Frenchmen, myself being one of them, keep up the good work, or else…. Revolution
    16
  188. I'm from a village about 20 km from Wieluń, Poland, where the first bombs were dropped. This series is very special to me. Love your videos, keep up the good work! ❤
    16
  189. Your self-deprecation, achieved by friendly banter, goes a long way to making even the most ernest of subjects somehow palatable to either side of the argument. As a pensioner, I would say that your chemistry is pretty well unique in broadcasting. Well Done!
    16
  190. I've been looking forward the resumption of this story. A tangled tale entertainingly told.
    15
  191. This is my dream RiH series. Fascinated with that period in American history and am now about 1m pages in to the Robert Caro biogs. Here's to what I feel certain will be a Dominic tour de force!!
    15
  192. Season two!👏👏👏
    15
  193. 🎉VERY excited!!! Been looking forward to this like it was a movie to be released and I haven't been excited about a movie releaase in decades.
    15
  194. Love all the details and tagged on performance and wit, fantastic storytelling👏
    15
  195. Dom’s thumbnail face is hilarious
    15
  196. Thanks. This is the topic that I first listened to when I first discovered your channel. Happy to hear you come back to wrap up the revolution, s2 ep1!
    15
  197. A terrible piece of history told with just enough examples. Class and balance, thank you.
    15
  198. This is the most delightfully enthusiastically joyful series on you tube. I so enjoy your great story telling skills and thank you both for such fabulous entertainment 😊
    15
  199. Brilliant podcast as always Gents. 1968 was such a fascinating year, and having it recounted so richly was a treat. Even more so as I was born on the same day LBJ gave his resignation address to the nation. So looking forward to the rest of the series. 👏🏼👏🏼
    14
  200. Thanks for this! Great research and dissemination.
    14
  201. Just discovered this channel and it is absolutely perfect. So well put together and interesting. Well done
    14
  202. Absolutely thrilled to have found this channel...thoroughly addicted!
    14
  203. I missed the start, so waited for what seemed like forever for it to complete. I reckon we can safely say I am addicted to this podcast.
    14
  204. History + cheeky Brit comedy + football references = the best podcast going Much love from St. Louis, Missouri! Cheers lads and Merry Christmas.
    14
  205. I’ve been binge watching your videos the last few weeks. Best history podcast by a country mile.
    14
  206. Thank you for your hard work!
    14
  207. Best podcast out there
    14
  208. Great to see the history lads in the digital flesh. An excellent series. It would great to see something of the historical journey from Italian Futurism and the of Symbolist Movement to Fascism and Nazism.
    14
  209. I recently discovered you guys. Your presentations are quite enjoyable!
    14
  210. It's truly impossible to call who does the better impressions: Dominic or Tom. Dominic might have the authenticity, but Tom has the heart.
    14
  211. Love this energy bruvs! Monday’s saved by our favorite snobby brits 💙 Love from the empire 🇺🇸
    14
  212. ‘Pigs, chicks, ummmmm’, the three-key-word summary
    14
  213. Every day I wake up looking for a new episode. Every. Damn. Day. And today it's like Christmas has come!
    13
  214. This is a perfect way for a layman to learn history. Drama, with a good dose of humour, yet told by qualified historians passionate about the subject and who won't steer you wrong.
    13
  215. Charlemagne: The Father of Europe
    13
  216. Have really enjoyed this series! Paul Freedman of Yale has an excellent series on the period 284 to 1000 that is a fine compliment to the events here discussed for anyone looking to deepen their knowledge.
    13
  217. That opening 😂😂😂😂
    13
  218. So much better than Game of thrones 😊
    13
  219. After the series on the causes of WW1 and WW2 I feared we'd heard the last of Tom's excellent German accent. Very pleased its back.
    13
  220. Loving this series already gentlemen! Keep it up.
    13
  221. Netflix and Churchill
    12
  222. Really enjoying the video format!
    12
  223. Nice to meet you guys! 😃
    12
  224. Absolutely love your show, look forward to every episode
    12
  225. I love you, this is one of my favourite episodes of your podcast ❤ from Germany ❤
    12
  226. A series that caused me to finally become a member, truly gripping and moving stuff.
    12
  227. You have got me hooked, your faces are forever intertwined with the french Revolution 👍👍👍
    12
  228. Wow! This tale is better than Game of Thrones
    12
  229. Very well narrated gentlemen! I'm learning more and more as a result.
    12
  230. When Dominic looks at the camera with a mischevious smile in the intro, I cannot help but snicker like a child.
    12
  231. This was an emotional one , well done guys . I highly recommend visiting the Lorraine Motel ...... one of your greatest podcasts yet !
    12
  232. Superb episode. I had never heard of George Wallace before. And General LeMay... 😂😂😂😂
    12
  233. I love this channel. Thank you! ❤🎉
    12
  234. Dominic and Tom, I've read the Hornblower books and also the Patrick O'Brien books and I am not satisfied. Now your wonderful podcasts. I took notice of your reference to NAM Roger's book on the Royal Navy, 1649-1815, all 1000 pages of it. A little reading over Christmas. My daughter moved to London in 2023. She tells me she is moving to an apartment near the Royal Dockyard at Woolwich. She is also a student of history and is buying a print of Turner's Fighting Temeraire to hang on the wall. I thought you might like to know.
    12
  235. I have looked for this for like 2 hours!! Lolol
    11
  236. "The story is painted in primary colors." Brilliant.
    11
  237. Merry Christmas, I loved the festive fall of empires
    11
  238. congrats on jeopardy! what a pleasant surprise to see my favorite podcast! you guys are the best and did a great job.
    11
  239. “Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom…
    11
  240. Being married to a retired Naval officer, I've attended many Trafalgar dinners over the years. Your engaging story has brought all those boring speaches to light. Five stars! 😊
    11
  241. I just stumbled on this podcast weeks ago and its GREAT stuff. Best podcast out there! Keep up the good work!
    11
  242. A Top of the Pops episode! Great presentation!! Wonderful narration and excellent interjections of rich questions.
    11
  243. Love this form! Please keep it up.
    11
  244. Love Dominic's growling of appreciation and sometimes, as in the case of Sir Richard Waller's coat of arms, jealousy.
    11
  245. I am spellbound. I know the events for the most part, but all the details and motives bring this to life 🤩
    11
  246. Love this! Captivating, informative, thought-provoking AND entertaining. Much appreciated, guys. Thank you.
    11
  247. LOL; watching Dominick crack up infectious! I have 5 grown sons half British/half Swedish who can barely grow a beard:/
    11
  248. I am impressed with this program. I am Argentine and I can assure you that they took the subject very professionally,
    11
  249. Tom and Dominic bring joy to what is otherwise ridiculous tragedy.
    11
  250. Thank you so much guys!
    11
  251. Thanks gentlemen!
    10
  252. Everyone is here for the banter; the history is a lovely bonus.
    10
  253. This series is unbelievably good, that the rapport between the hosts is second to none.
    10
  254. These guys are so great. They give perspective but get to all the interesting and fun stuff.
    10
  255. The Texas Revolution needs a deep dive. You two are perfect.
    10
  256. Bravo Gents, your storytelling blows me away every time.
    10
  257. YOU GUYS ARE JUST THE BEST EXPLANATION DUEo IN HISTORY, SOOOO EXCITING 😊
    10
  258. I love the video format!!!
    10
  259. Thank You two. I learned some new things such as they nabbed James Earl Ray in London and that he wanted to flee to Rhodesia. Also as someone who lives in the DC Area that the areas affected by the riots really didn't start recovering from those riots until the 1990's during the administration of Mayor Tony Williams.
    10
  260. Thank god for this podcast today. Been a helluva week already. Thank you fellas!!!!
    10

  262. This is so well-timed for one of my MA assignments so thank you!
    10
  263. Love the addition of video!
    10
  264. ❤ this podcast...one of the best!!!
    10
  265. Brilliant episode. You wouldn't believe how negatively was Hariss's Munich received in Czechia, when the film adaptation came out. Even well known journalists were writing about "western revisionism". It is rather obvious that over here, old wounds are still wide open.
    10
  266. Very good gent's...
    10
  267. Brilliant Boys just Love listening! All the Best..
    10
  268. Wonderful episode. I’m happy to report, by the way, that I received for Christmas not one but a total of five books by top historians Dom and Tom!!
    10
  269. Love this channel, I always listen to it when falling asleep for the first 40min. I really missed it. It’s fun learning about history 😊
    10
  270. Good morning from the beautiful SF Bay Area. I eagerly await the next episode!
    10
  271. Incredible acting talent ... and also Tom Hanks.
    10
  272. You astound me
    10
  273. Brilliant boys !!!! I love the way you can laugh at a joke at your own expense. Again a superb podcast. Thank you !!

  274. This is a really interesting episode. I attended your concert at The Royal Albert Hall a few weeks ago and think it was great.
    9
  275. Great series
    9
  276. On a chilly early fall night in Pennsylvania in 1968 when I was seven years old, my dad called for me and my sister to come out to the front porch. In the distance was something in the sky moving toward us. Underneath it was a rotating glowing light. It looked just like the flying saucers I saw on TV and the movies. I couldn't believe it a real flying saucer! As it got closer and closer I began to hear it was a helicopter, a helicopter carrying an electric rotating sign that said VOTE FOR NIXON, VOTE FOR NIXON, VOTE FOR NIXON.
    9
  277. Wouldn’t it be more correct to say that Churchill is Dantonian?
    9
  278. 😊👍👍 Tour de force
    9
  279. Another fantastic episode!
    9
  280. More than slightly obsessed with this pod
    9
  281. Such a good series. I have really loved this. Love the long format. Great job, please carry this on!!
    9
  282. Great stuff men.
    9
  283. M’y goodness ! Having my regular breakfasts with this charismatic pair of men now. What a brilliant way of delivering such important history events , what humour, what sarcasm (« The French guards proved rather unreliable, ´we are French before we are slaves’ … it’s like policemen taking the knee. »😂👏👏!) Recommending ithe podcast now to all my friends and to my children in particular. ❤
    9
  284. I love this show! 💖💖💖 Thank you TRIH
    9
  285. Tom Hanks is a great bloke, his depth of knowledge about anything he is involved in is inspiring.
    9
  286. Amazing series
    9
  287. 'I try not to slaughter too many people...' A little known Eugene McCarthy quote. 😂
    9
  288. So looking forward to this episode I am so griped m! Well done guys I wish you both had taught me history, I am now obsessed thank you
    9
  289. Another corker! Thank you.
    9
  290. What a great historical recounting of one of the most impressive , inspiring victories by the British. Henry V exhibited great strategic leadership . It seems to be this is an example of an invading army able to use the tactical defense to force a superior force to attack on ground with more advantage to the British in this case. It does come to mind that the British in January 1815 in the BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS forgot this lesson and made a similar mistake as the French at Agincourt. Great episode!
    9
  291. You two gentlemen are truly outstanding. Please continue creating more great videos. I sincerely appreciate your work.
    9
  292. Loving this channel

  297. I love this duo. Lived in the 2nd city late 80s/early 90s, I remember going through the magnificent mile hearing the echoes of the 60s clashes, a truly haunted place. 😢
    8
  298. I have learned so much history through you two gentlemen. Bravo! Well done! Brilliant!! Good Form!! Keep cracking on! (These are only some of the brit colloquialisms this Yank loves to hear!)
    8

    7
  325. Loved this. Can't wait for the next episode. I knew very little about the French Revolution up to now. Thank you for educating me!
    7
  326. Yes finally have been waiting for this!!!! THANK YOU!!! 😁
    7
  327. Brilliant series - thank you!
    7
  328. I know this is a Frank series but with the chat of a real life Cersei Lannister I immediately thought of Irene of Athens.
    7
  329. No one can make this stuff up. Fact is stranger than fiction.
    7
  330. I don't like the sound of this Hitler fella... Get a bad feeling about him.
    7
  331. Yes! Cracking stuff. Thank you.
    7
  332. This podcast is extraordinary. I have never been so inspired and excited by history outside of Ken Burns and Dan Carlin. Love you guys and I look forward to seeing you live one day in the US.
    7
  333. Recently discovered your podcast and can’t stop listening! Any other fellow South Africans following here?
    7
  334. Thanks so much!!!!!!Captivating!
    7
  335. I am so in love with TRIH - love your work chaps. Man, I wish this had been how history was taught when I was in school (I still liked history, but this would have been EPIC - in fact history worthy!)
    7
  336. This was brilliant, gentlemen.!
    7
  337. You guys make a wonderful team for this episode with Tom's religious knowledge and Dominic's political knowledge.
    7
  338. Typical Americans attitude towards Vietnam might be compared to a typical British attitude towards the Troubles.😅. Actually, Dominic shines in this topic, as we would expect.😊
    7
  339. I've been listening to TRIH since the beginning .....It's superb ... I've learned more from you guys than i ever did at school ....Cheers 👍
    7
  340. Just returned from Paris and found this episode fascinating. As I have all the French Revolution episodes.
    7
  341. 👏🏼 standing ovation 👏🏼
    7
  342. I have really enjoyed the latest serries of videos! Keep up the great work, love from Flanders
    7
  343. Awesome. Brilliant content. Excellent live stream.
    7
  344. Very much enjoyed Dominic's "commentating on a league 1 match" set up, fantastic as always
    7
  345. Thank you gentlemen. Thank you very much.
    7
  346. Great!
    7
  347. Merry Christmas all and thank you for this ❤
    7
  348. Have been enjoying your videos on the Hundred Years War, as well as others, although wondering if there is still a video coming regarding the Battle of Agincourt? Cheers!
    7
  349. Y'all the best story tellers! You and Monty Python have taught me all I know about history. To me you encompass all the beauty that Great Britain possesses...just got Dominion audiobook...Toms voice is dreamy!
    7
  350. Im a american guy 40ish . I have learned so much and have really enjoyed finding this channel. The fieat king L vid was my introduction and been waiting for this next ep. Great job!!
    7
  351. Great episode as always. Cuts a bit close to the bone today.
    7
  352. I'm surprised they glossed over Tom's plans to invade NY.
    7
  353. You guys weave the personalities & characters so well with the broader strokes - one cannot help but visualise the overweight Kowalski, feel a kin ship with the do gooding casement & a deep sense of loathing for Leopold. Whilst simultaneously one can absorb the wider ideological, sociological background of the day. Its really expert work by two historians who are a credit to their field. Thanks again Gents 🫡🙂
    7
  354. Thank you !!!
    7
  355. Guys I am just loving this second series re French Revo. Ever since I was 20 a backpacker from Sydney, stood on Place de La Concorde, reading about its terrible history, I’ve wanted to know how they slid into the period of the Terrors. And this series is dissecting it in delicious and horrible detail. Thank you!
    7
  356. Hello from Thailand! Thanks for this wonderful show ❤

  359. Awesome videos as usual merci beaucoup
    6
  360. I’ve been binge listening to these awesome chaps for weeks now after discovering them on Spotify and still so many to listen to - it’s been amazing - then I discovered they were on here after the US election live stream (which I loooved - Dominic’s insight was fascinating) and I’m watching the videos every time they drop here now 👌 so funny, so well informed and it’s just so educational and insightful about so many wonderfully diverse topics across so much of history. It does not surprise me that this is the 2nd top podcast after only Joe Rogan (!) 😳 incredible and you should be very proud chaps 🥳 very proud you’re brits 🇬🇧 🎉
    6
  361. This is so good!

  371. This was an amazing episode! Tom was such a great guest. Both entertaining and knowledgeable, I learned some new facts about the Apollo program along the way. Keep up the great work guys! Best podcast out there by a long shot
    6
  372. FIRST AO EXCITED THATS ALL I HAVE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE!🎉
    6
  373. Thank you both so much
    6
  374. Oh, goody! A new subject to be glued to.
    6
  375. Best cliffhanger yet...
    6
  376. The Rest of History loves a sumptuous setting!
    6
  377. Wow! Loved this.
    6
  378. Thank god
    6
  379. Gosh i know this is a serious topic but golly I really found myself laughing at points - Chamberlain trying to rally the crowds in Birmingham with a tea cozy 😂 but I do have one complaint - I quite like a German spa - don't knock it till you've tried it!!
    6
  380. nice animations 👍🏼
    6
  381. Great topic
    6
  382. Thank you both. Amazing series. Looking forward to its continuation ❤

    6
  388. This channel and these two gentlemen are top drawer. We are fortunate to have them
    6
  389. Guys, you two are absolutely brilliant. The way you bring history to life is superb. Like sitting with 2 friends, and genuinely make us feel part of it.
    6
  390. Guys, you’ve done it again! Compelling stuff. Thanks.
    5
  391. Brilliant stuff
    5
  392. Since this podcast started i am looking for an excuse to do household chores so i can listen to it. Really great work!
    5
  393. Brilliantly presented. A great analysis of the evolution of the realisation that war with Germany was unavoidable.
    5
  394. This is powerful
    5
  395. such a delightful podcast. so happy for your success.
    5
  396. Love you guys and this channel! ❤
    5
  397. Absolutely fantastic series. You remind me of and then I bought the Custer archaeology book. I also quite liked your epic series on Cortes and Montezuma and the fall of his empire.
    5
  398. Dom I am loving how you say Kentucky. Don't ask me why but it sounds very different from how I say it lol
    5
  399. This is amazing.
    5
  400. I absolutely love this pod. Thank you, gents.
    5
  401. I say ni

  402. Great idea, I loved the podcast before and now even more
    5
  403. I’ve been waiting
    5
  404. Brilliant narration
    5
  405. Excellent series, thank you. I really enjoyed your lecture style. I feel sorry for both the king and queen. I don’t think they deserved what was coming for them. Of course what happened to the children was unforgiveable. Small detail. Wasn’t it Pétion who claimed that madame Elizabeth was attracted to him?
    5
  406. Thank you. I listen to each podcast with growing admiration snd enjoyment. I can only imagine the amount of background work - clearly done with enjoyment and love for the cast of characters involved in each topic - thatTom and Dominic do. 🙏☺️
    5
  407. 30 seconds in and I’ve already subscribed
    5
  408. This series is excellent, amusing and very important. Thank you very much.

  425. I never usually comment, but I just want to thank you both for these podcasts. I could listen to you both all day. History, humanities, social and politics were my favourite subjects at school... I wish I'd been in a position to carry on to university and study them, but that's life hey... Anyway, thank you for your delightful commentary on important historical subjects, and for your humour too, which makes it a pleasure to consume. Godspeed!
    5
  426. I really love you guys. This is great stuff.

  450. New listener here. Love the show. This relaxed, nuanced micro-look format is my favorite way to engage with learning about history! I ended up on the Custard v Crazy Horse Playlist but had to check out the new upload. Great choice for the next deep dive. I wanted to say thanks for the great open source content. Catching up on all you've posted will be a great Minnesota winter companion! Be well : )

  454. A perfect summary of the era, judged by someone who lived the entire era, me! I graduated university in 1968 and was as laser focused on events and their very real consequences on my life as I am today. This episode is indeed another tour de force. Bravo!
    4
  455. i give thunbs up the moment i hear the theme music. This is my comfort channel. 🙌
    4
  456. Thank you, this was a lot of fun
    4
  457. Very informative and highly listenable. The reaction of Eugene McCarthy to being snubbed by LBJ for the vice-presidency reminded me of a certain former British PM, famous for the longest sulk in history, one Edward Heath.
    4
  458. Very well done! Congratulations from Austria
    4
  459. About time.
    4
  460. Thanks for this. John Dee is one of those mythic characters that make English history compelling. Like Scott of the Antarctic and King Arthur.
    4
  461. Brilliant! Historically, the 1960’s were not that long ago but it was a very different world in many respects. Explains the Trump phenomenon quite well.

  463. thank you for these incredible series
    4
  464. A great format for youtube. Please keep the longer audio format going. I'm a recent convert to your podcasts and listen as I work on renovating our house. Up to podcast 104 so far, so few more to go. Still a lot of house to work on so keep them coming plz.

  466. You guys are my heroes

  467. I was 11 years old in 68. Lifelong white male Alabamian. George Wallace is like my first memory of politics along with the JFK Assassination. I lived thru all of it. Good job.

  468. Terribly entertaining, as usual :)

  478. In an not so recent Documentary by the superb Rich Hall (they are all on Youtube and definitely worth watching) he speaks to one of MLKs friends who was with him on the balcony when the assassination occured. The Gentleman tells Rich Hall 'Sadly, you can kill the dreamer, but I hastily tell you, you cannot kill the dream.' That's always stuck with me.

  483. Thank you so much for this episode. I'll need to search for your book on Eugene McCarthy ,Mr. Dominic. I had no idea about his private life & personality. It was very surprising. His former press secretary related that Sen. McCarthy was possibly involved in CIA type operations in Latin America. Perhaps you were already aware of that but again, I was quite surprised.
    3
  484. Outstanding listening!

  678. I love this episode SO much. I studied 3 Unit Ancient History as high school in country NSW, in 1978-1979. I adored it. Happily I won the History Prize, and with the funds I bought a copy of Robert Graves book I Claudius. The 1976 TV series was probably shown in Australia circa 1977, so I was immersed in Claudius! When I went to Sydney University in 1980 I enrolled in Ancient History but was turned off by the emphasis (as I saw it) on Marxist interpretations. Naively I thought 'What does politics have to do with studying history?!' So I swapped to Medieval History where there was no talk of political theories! And ended up getting a PhD in Old Norse Language & Literature. But I do still love Ancient History. I haven't read Suetonius since 1979, so I reckon it's time to go back - with this new edition!!

  711. Wonderful episode, even by The Rest is History's high standard. Both Dee and Kelly sound like fascinating characters, even if Kelly sounds like a real nutter. They must have been comedy gold together, looked at in a certain way. Definitely a miniseries in there somewhere.
