“I am a helpless, devoted, pathetic fan. So is everyone I know. The Rest Is History takes the form of a series of witty, clever, informative conversations.”
– James Marriott, The Times
“I listen to The Rest Is History, but I think everybody listens to The Rest Is History. It’s so well done! It’s clean, it’s humble; these are not guys trying to talk about things they don’t know.”
– Rachel Maddow, in Vulture
“Possibly the most joyous and brain-enhancing podcast out there.”
– The Sunday Times Magazine
