The mans voice is horrible, but otherwise the show is good

You packed a lot of good information into such a short series on Lincoln's assassination, but the wrap-up was very intriguing. I have studied and read about the assassination since my childhood, but I have never considered the ramifications to the country if Lincoln had lived and his wartime actions carried over to peacetime; his position on critical political speech, suspension of habeas corpus and intentions to run CSA leaders out of the USA. An unusual take and very much appreciated, especially in these "politically correct" times. Your conclusions are sure to spur many good conversations with my friends who study the Civil War. Thank you and very well done!

Wow 😯 this is the most important point in history woooaahhh keep it up your doing good

In place of simply relating the details of historical events leading to the last seconds of the life of a human being, the producers of this podcast decided to use these incidents as a means to promote their own sexual political agenda. If you want history while not being told how to vote, look somewhere other than this podcast.

The assassination of harambe needs to be talked about one of the most important people ever btw I Wrote this review with me dick #dicksoutforharambe please do an episode on harambe or just talk about him and if other people read this please tell more people about harambe

I like to hear stories about where I live and from. I thank its very interesting. But the Narrator are getting on my nerves. Lol They just speak to slow. Like A college professor. But I still like it. And it’s interesting. Just my opinion.

Entertaining and informative however I frequently find myself thinking. How do they know these detailed ‘Facts’ that seem to depend on extrapolation on ‘Facts’ that could not have been known after 100, 150, 80 years ago. How an individual was thinking, felt, said? Ridiculous. It would be nice if this (fact check) were included, especially in the circumstance of assassinations that occurred hundreds of years ago, 80, or even 50 years. I find the ‘What If’ speculation, silly and just that, ‘Speculation’. Two narrators tag team is unnecessary and annoying. I fail to understand the necessity, along with their strange, staged, ‘Assured’ tone about things that they could not know. An addition not real or or necessary.

Every time a quote is used, the guy narrator puts takes this weird pause, then does this annoying/unnecessary emphasis on the word “QUOOOTTTTEEEEE”

Apparently this channel just stopped releasing new episodes. I didn’t subscribe for content from other channels, that’s for sure.

Alternating narrators competing with each other to sound most generic and boring. It’s like listening to an audio version of a Wikipedia page. One boring voice might be tolerable; two rapidly alternating is unlistenable. Sorry. Great idea for a podcast, though.

Any chance of a Podcast on the Yablonski murder ordered by the UMW President?

Well-narrated and researched.

I always listen and appreciate your thoroughly researched episodes. I do think it’s important for people to see MLK’s name in titles and not just his initials.Until this very day, he is one of the greatest men in history. I believe he deserves to have his name in the title. I’m not feigning outrage or anything. I love this podcast. I just think his name needs to always be remembered instead of the man that murdered him. In school I was taught that it was important to remember the names of assassins, which I think is insane. Thank you for always providing great content!

The information and topics are perfect. The episodes are very well researched and very informative. The narration leaves a lot to be desired. It is a VERY dry and boring narration style and there is zero production value (such as sound effects, etc). It sounds like you’re listening to an audio textbook rather than an entertaining podcast.

I have yet to find a Parcast original podcast that I have not enjoyed. My favorite part of Assassinations is how they talk about both the assassin and the person assassinated, but they they talk about global impact and what may or may not have happened due to the death. It’s interesting to theorize and they teach you details you may not have known or considered. Thanks!!

There’s so much wrong information in the Leo Ryan/Jonestown episode that I can’t trust anything these people say. Next!

As a Floridian listener, found the Guy Bradley episode particularly fascinating. A very interesting part of history I had no clue about, love how this podcast dives into such captivating tales.

I liked your podcast up till the point you mentioned Michel Brown the Criminal that assaulted a store clerk then tried to disarm a police officer. the officer was found not guilty in his death I have unsubscribe from you podcast thank you

Love this podcast, but it drives me batty every time Kate Leonard attempts to say the word “execute” or any of its derivatives. The word is spelled with an X, NOT 2 G’s. She says “eggsecute,” “eggscution,” and “eggsecuted.” I would think, as a narrator or story teller on a podcast such as this one, you would be able to pronounce words in the English language properly. Apparently not.

Some of the stuff you do is ok as far as it goes but I find enough dishonesty in some of the historical notes that I can no longer listen. Too much supposition.

Great stories. Stop giving away the end in your intro! Defeats the point of listening to the podcast.

I typically like this podcast but one major thing stood out in this episode. Medgar Evans was not killed in a Mississippi church fire, he was shot and killed by Byron de la Beckwith in 1963. That’s what the Nia Simone’ song Mississippi Goddamn was about. A little research can go along with.

It’s really annoying that you guys are giving bs updates just to move your title to the top of the list. You either have a new episode or you don’t. Stop updating what’s available!

Goodness. Garfield defeated Winfield Scott Hancock, a Union Major General who led the 2nd corps in the Army of the Potomac and was wounded severely at Gettysburg. His namesake was Winfield Scott, the only Lt General between Washington and Grant albeit a brevet rank . . . . It’s useless. I’ll hush.

The inaccuracies of the Sam Cooke death make my head swim. How do you even classify this as an assignation? This was a self defense homicide. The girl called 911? 911 didn’t exist for decades. You diminish the quality of your work with such blatant shoddy ness.

While I enjoy most parcast shows include this one, I am really annoyed of having a repetitive 20 min section showcasing the same show. They can make you so sick of their new show before you try it. Nothing makes me not want to try a new show then being force to hear 20 min of it I over and and over. I will not be listening to Medical Mysteries. I’ve already contacted them and told them each time I hear it and and stuck listening to while driving and unable to skip over I’ll give them a 1 star review. I’m also not crazy about them asking for a 5 star review instead of just asking for people to rate & review. But beware with parcast that you will get annoyed by their over pushing of new shows. I like it better when they make it separate episode as oppose to including it in the same episode. They do both, which make no sense. The separate episode Way is so much better.

Another great podcast from parcast. I love them all. GREAT JOB👍🏽

This podcast has potential but to say the meaningless BCE instead of BC, that has been in used for hundreds of years, forces me to translate in my head what they mean. What is “The common era”? Common to what? And 1 BCE is one year before the era was common? Maybe they should call it, UE, or Uncommon Era, because the era was not yet common.

Good topics awful narrator.

This episode was a reach. Sarah wasn’t a prominent figure in history or society. She was just married to a shady lawyer. This was more of a domestic case between a married couple. Linking this to historical assassinations didn’t make sense.

I love your podcast so much it always feels like a year for the next show but it is worth the wait

Best episode! A must listen two parter from the series.

I expected a dry retelling of an historic event. Instead this was a well written informative podcasts that was worth my time.

i really really liked this one, the one about the assasination of Franz Ferdinand. i highly recommend listening to it.

I wouldn't call myself a history "buff," exactly, but I love learning about lesser-known bits of history. I love how this podcast delves into stories that I don't know much about - and in some cases, hadn't even previously heard of.

Hosts have the MOST soothing voices making the topic of murder palatable. Well researched and prepared.

Everything about this podcast is done well except for the first few minutes of each episode. From a story telling perspective, giving away outcomes or critical details about the case in the intro sequence can ruin the episode. I always skip the opening sequence because of this. It typically spoils important parts of the episode.

On the surface this is a great podcast, good information and an in depth look into the assassinations themselves and potential thought processes of the players involved. But underneath writhes the monster of political bias, it’s frustrating to have these stories slanted in such a way. It draws me in and then puts me off as more and more politics and virtue signaling is put into play. I’ll continue to listen, but if it continues I’ll have to unsubscribe as I find it disrespectful to the events and the unfortunate souls who fell on the receiving end as your using these stories to further your agenda.

I’m listening to Part 2 of the Lincoln assassination podcast right now. The narrators fo a good job as they have done with your other podcasts, but I was surprised at the factual errors given repeatedly in this episode. Rathbone was a major, not a sergeant. I was surprised no mention was made of Booth stabbing him. Ward Lamon didn’t ask Lincoln not to attend that night because Lamon wasn’t even in town at the time. He was in the Confederacy on U.S. business and publicly regretted for the rest of his life not being in town that night, stating that if he had been in town he would have been Lincoln’s bodyguard and would have prevented the assassination. Booth didn’t rip Henry Hawk’s suit with his knife, either. Also, no mention was made of Seward’s daughter being in the room while he was being attacked. I like the podcast overall, but your research needs to be a bit better.

.....it's just that good. Do you like history? Civil War buff? A student studying Lincoln? Whatever reason you have, you won't want to overlook this podcast. Check out all the topics; Well researched, powerful people's stories that are delivered in a professional manner by two seasoned voice actors. Nicely done Bill and Kate.

The information is interesting but the constant (obvious) influences of the political view of either the writers and/or the narrators only serves to detract from the facts of the events themselves. There is enough political opinions in the news today. We don’t need it in the podcasts we turn to to avoid politics. Just my opinion.

I just completed the second episode on the Lincoln assassination. I’m amazed at the poor research which has lead to inaccurate information being stated during the podcast.

In part 2 of The assignation of Lincoln it was mentioned that General Sherman caused much destruction during his march. In reality, as his army was huge, the rebels destroyed food rations and burned farms in route. This would prevent Sherman fro feeding his army.

I winced a little when they referred to the 6.5 mm Carcano rifle that killed Kennedy as a “6.5 caliber” and again when they referred to someone bring shot with a revolver as “having a clip emptied into them”. You’d think a show focused on killing people and the tools used to do so would have a slightly better technical grasp. Otherwise it’s a decent enough show. A little robotic....

I have found every episode that I have listen to to be very interesting well written and engaging. The only negative I have about the assassinations podcast is that they seem on able to keep themselves from making political parallels and show a very strong bias. Other than that it’s a great podcast.

Great content. Easy listening. Only reason for 4 star instead of 5 is it lacks the conversational quality that I enjoy in a podcast...a little too automated sounding. Sounds like Alexa and the dude in my GPS.

I’m obsessed. Everything is fact-based and to the point - a calm, cool, and collected delivery and Kate and Bill are genuinely fascinating to listen to. I’m binging as we speak!!

I enjoy the format and detailed story telling. A friend of mine was telling me the story of Malcom X. Coincidentally the Podcast of his assassination piped up the same evening and I shared the episodes with him. Highly recommend for education and entertainment.

Make one on John f Kennedy

As I listened to this podcast and their handling of the JFK Assassination, I had to wonder what kind of conscience the hosts have. As someone with a long time interest in the subject, neither myself or anyone that has really studied this event can say that Oswald was either guilty or completely innocent. The evidence just isn’t concrete. I personally would have a real issue telling the public that a man who was gunned down without a chance to have his day in court, and who vehemently proclaimed his innocence was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The claim of Oswald being a crack shot is also false. He received “Marksman” which is the lowest qualification in the usmc. His marine corps buddy Nelson Delgado also attested in film that Oswald was not a good shot, and was teased for shooting “Maggie’s drawers”on the range. We’re asked to sign onto him being a commie when he was regularly in the company of rabid right wingers. Nitrate tests show that he never fired a rifle that day.
