Awful company. Quick to take your money. Keen to keep on taking your money. Excellent at overcharging you. Rubbish at giving your money back or even acknowledging emails. Awful, awful, awfu... See more

It's nice to have access to a range of short 'explainer' type videos and I enjoy the longer more 'in depth' ones to get into topics I'm interested in. I've enjoyed the James Holland series on the Ital... See more

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 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'??

Very energetic production company making serious history content. Sure, some of the videos could well be podcasts, and some of the presenters are getting their feet under them, but the content is uniformly interesting. The lament that history is boring has no place on this content stream.

Wonderful stuff

Wonderful stuff. I particularly enjoy Dr. Eleanor Janega and Alice Loxton, remarkable and talented women, both very comfortable before the camera.

History Hit = History Geek Heaven

I love how History Hit brings history out of the dark ages in to light with full clarity. Eleanor Janega is one of my favorite since I am so interested in Medieval history. I definitely recommend to all my history “geeks”.

It's nice to have access to a range of short 'explainer' type videos and I enjoy the longer more 'in depth' ones to get into topics I'm interested in. I've enjoyed the James Holland series on the Italian campaign but would like something more that the two episodes so far - is there more? I've really enjoyed Dr Susanah Lipscombe's videos and podcasts and especially some of the interviews and panels she has done. It's nice to hear from a variety of voices on topics.

Subscription

I bought my husband a subscription. When signing up he forgot to put the code in. Worried that we will be charged twice so contacted customer services. Still awaiting a reply after 10 days! Shame as the channel itself is good.

Very much enjoying History Hit. The shows are a good length for keeping the audience attention, presenters are good, especially Dan Snow, Alice Hoxton, Dr Susannah Lipscombe and Dan Jones. Looking forward to more Plantagenets docs

No L G app

I like the programes,but Everytime I wish to look at it I can't without going on the 'net' to find it. I have an L G tv & can not find an app for this site anywere. So I will probably be canceling after my cheap sign up expire's.

Loving History Hit

I am really enjoying History Hit. The shows are factual, they do not drag on, and the presenters are not boring to listen to. You can tell that the presenters, know their work. Their information flows on and is super interesting. I love the fact that you pay for the whole year upfront.
Keep the good stuff coming, I love it!!
