Stacy2177Must listen!History Fix has become one of those podcasts that I must listen to as soon as it comes out. Shea does incredible research and makes every topic interesting and relatable. If you weren’t a history buff before, you will be after a listen.

FenyreyOne of my favorites!This is one of my favorite podcasts and I look forward to the weekly updates. As a lover of history, I love that I get to revisit these historical moments and at the same time, learn something new. I love road trips and I’m usually the one who drives, and as the driver, I get to pick what’s playing. As a result, my family members are now fans! Shea’s voice is pleasant and friendly and she brings life to every topic. Thank goodness for my TikTok algorithm. That’s how I first found her. I saw a video, followed it to the podcast, and I’ve been a fan since the beginning. Shea, we love you and thanks for the time and energy you put in every show!

KLMCLEARLove this podcastShea is a former coworker and all around amazing human. She was an incredible teacher and I’m glad she is still teaching through this podcast. I love learning about history, especially lesser known facts. She has an incredible speaking voice and is very easy to listen to. I love her view on these many topics, especially when she covers stories about amazing women throughout history. Do yourself a favor and learn something new about history with this podcast!

FoodnBooksWeekly JoyI look forward to hearing History Fix. I always learn something new. Check it out if you haven’t done so already.

CasaLAXRelatable but…Feels geared toward intro level as opposed to history buff level. Potentially dry aspects are certainly made relatable as other reviews have mentioned but there tends to be a lot of repetition. A stronger editor would help.
-
mjewell1010A teacher?I hope you prepared for your students better than this podcast. You blame not knowing about something on being too young instead of picking up a history book. You don’t bother to figure the monetary difference between pounds and dollars. I really like this podcast but I can’t continue with this laziness.
