The Duncan & Coe History Show

The podcast about Lindbergh was really great especially in conjunction with the history of that time. With the Gladiator II podcast, it takes away from your credibility when you say that Ridley Scott was just skimming a book for background unless you know that sure. Everything you say in the podcast becomes questionable when you make stuff up.

What a lovely and enjoyable show that happens to at least somewhat discuss history! This podcast is largely just two amazing historians BSing with each other and I’m here for it. It’s lighthearted fun!

Probably the worst podcast I’ve ever heard. It’s disheartening that a talented podcaster like Mike somehow thought this was a good idea. I’m embarrassed for him and can only imagine something else is going on in his life that is clouding his judgment right now. The other host has yet to say anything interesting. Hope they cancel this show and preserve some dignity.

I’ve been a Mike Duncan listener for a long time, and I wanted so bad to enjoy this show, but it’s simply that. Terrible. Frankly I’m shocked anyone would give this 5 stars. If you were a Mike Duncan fan too, this show is not for you. Mike is not an interesting guy. Excellent at written narrative and storytelling, but boring, self indulgent, and pompous in every other aspect of his life. Alexis Coe is also insufferable. She rivals Mike’s arrogance and acts like she’s the first female historian and some kind of brave trailblazer. Alexis wrote a biography on George Washington, which is one in thousands of others and adds nothing to the historiography. Alexis, You’re not first, you’re not pushing boundaries, and you’re not anywhere near as important as you attempt to inflate yourself to be. So if you want high minded arrogant and narcissistic buddy talk between two “friends” this is the podcast for you! If you’re looking for actual history, you should look elsewhere. Seriously there are hundreds of wonderful history podcasts out there.
