I’m a lover of history and always enjoy a quality history doc or podcast. I have an affinity to the Gilded era in across the world and stumbled across this but decided to start from Chapter 1. I enjoy most is how it’s such an unbiased view of history. The host is a phenomenal storyteller, I’m I love the fact that it inspires me to research more about certain events, “Never Stop Learning!” I’m just a little over a month in and I’m currently on Chapter 63.

This is an interesting and enjoyable listen, very well researched and narrated. It has really opened my eyes to the the origins of many of our modern institutions and ways of doing things. Almost every aspect of modern life was born or matured during the period covered by this podcast, and it really helped me connect the dots and see where so many ideas we take for granted come from. Also the narrative is well put together and you can tell the host puts a lot of time and effort into getting the correct pronunciation down for the many foreign names, places, etc. I really appreciate this aspect along with the attention to accuracy. Well worth a listen for history lovers and those that want to figure out how we got to the present day.

An excellent and well researched podcast that gets into all aspects of the industrial revolutions including science, technology, engineering, economics, human experience, and even touches on how religion all shaped the economy and the technological advances that shaped the modern world. I’m addicted to the clear presentation, wealth of information, the learning and thought provoking topics. After each episode I often pause to reflect and look at the information through my unique lens. Huge fan! Great job by Dave.

The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. They have greatly increased the life-expectancy of those of us who live in “advanced” countries, but they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical suffering as well) and have inflicted severe damage on the natural world. The continued development of technology will worsen the situation. It will certainly subject human beings to greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the natural world, it will probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical suffering even in “advanced” countries.

Well researched and presented with a clear love of subject. I’m a history teacher and this is my late 2020 binge.

Saying “that being said”!!!!

This is a fantastic history podcast to learn about the industrial revolution era and many of the fascinating historical topics surround it as well as the people, places, inventions, and communities. The host is terrific, easy to listen to and this podcast is well researched and a great resource to learn about an important time period.

This podcast takes a topic-oriented approach to an endlessly detailed and fascinating period in history. The causes and repercussions of the Industrial Revolution have determined, to a very large degree, the day-to-day reality that we live today. These forces are examined in detail as are the developing ideologies that shaped conflict in more recent history. A superb podcast which I look forward to enjoying in the future.

This utterly terrible and shouldn’t be ever made cause my teacher is making me do a reflection on it after I listen to it

I was a big fan of this podcast, however the constant jabs at “certain demographics” beliefs and thought processes really put me off. It’s a shame that people cannot separate their politics from a good lesson on history.

I have been binging this podcast. Other history podcast I get bored and quit. Not this one.

Excellent discussions of a wide range of topics. Admire this fellow’s desire for a podcasting career despite a pronounced lisp.

Dave is simply meant for this. His organization in chronicling the industrial revolutions, his voice itself, his love for this topic...it's all incredible. I've been a fan for a while now for a reason.

This is a great podcast series. Entertaining and intelligent. An extremely efficient and fun way to start exploring this history of innovation, including the chain of causal events and happenstances, and the people.

My boyfriend and I love this podcast. We listen to a few episodes at a time while we’re on long drives and it never fails to entertain and inform us. Well researched and well spoken, we can’t recommend this podcast enough to all our friends. We can’t believe it hasn’t blown up yet, but we’re sure it will soon. Keep up the good work! -J+H

Excellent overview with enough depth to provide a solid understanding. Looking forward to future episodes.

Stumbled across this podcast and wish I’d found it sooner! Very good presentation and perspective.

I look forward to this podcast each week. Informative and well done. And a good voice for a podcast.

I had just recently gotten into history podcasts but my favorites always seems to be about war and conquest. This is relatable to my life.

Never thought I would find something this so interesting. I highly reccomend giving this a listen.

I appreciate a detailed account of history, and that is exactly what David offers here in his podcast, ‘The Industrial Revolutions’. His passion for history is evident by how deep he digs to get all the facts and how neatly he arranges them into digestible twenty-to-thirty minute episodes. Although the narrative can be a bit fast-paced for me, it is presented clearly and confidently, with no ‘um’s or ‘uh’s polluting the sessions. This is a very well-done podcast. As a Christian, the first episode is skippable as its main theme contradicts what the Bible says about the origin of man. The bonus episodes contain interviews with colleagues of David, knowledgeable about aspects of topics talked about in the main episodes. They can be passed over if all you are here for is an account of history. David mentioned that he has 45 episodes planned for the first of at least three industrial revolutions alone, which means that he intends to make this a years-long journey through this single perspective of history. As we are only ten episodes in so far, I will be looking forward to David’s continued storytelling expertise for a long time to come. Don’t forget to subscribe!

It’s fascinating to learn how our species clawed our way out of the mud and built the technological marvel we live in today.

I love technology and seeing how it evolved throughout the years. This podcast follows the advancement of tech, starting from prehistory.

Dave has a strangely seductive voice and even though he's basically reading a script, his intonations and emphasis makes it terrifically entertaining. And the subjects so far have very interesting. Highly recommend.

Well researched and well written pod for the history nerd in all of us.

Amazingly well thought out and informed episodes, packed with great information. Each one takes you on a lovely journey. Good for anyone curious about history.

I’m learning about the first industrial revolution it’s not my favorite but it’s become fascinating to me and I can’t wait for more.

Great

If you are someone, like me, that is fascinated how humans ended up in the word we have today, especially given +90% of human history we were hunter-gatherers, this is a great podcast. It’s an examination of the last 250 years in particular, but the lead up is so interesting (I especially love the bonus episode titles “why not China?”). The narrator moves FAST but keeps your interest. And his passion is addictive, especially when he talks about his personal interests, like what would Thomas More think of our world? I’m hooked.

Insightful, engaging, informative, The Industrial Revolutions podcast is a new favorite. Dave does an excellent job of weaving a complex history into an interesting story. I’ve learned so much from this podcast and can’t wait to hear more.

This is a great new pickup to add to my other history subs (Revolutions, Hardcore History, How It Began, Revisionist History, History if Rome). I think the style, pace, and quality is very similar to Mike Duncan’s pods. I’m excited for this one to take off.

The host does a really great job of making each episode interesting for someone who is just curious about the industrial revolutions. So far (3 episodes in), there has been a lot of content from before the industrial revolutions which has been setting the stage for the main content. The podcast does a great job of explaining why this context setting is important and of connecting these earlier events to the industrial revolutions. I’m looking forward to many more episodes!

Very informative and interesting topics. Dave does an excellent job of guiding the listening through topics and does so in a very professional manner.

This historical plot is really starting to thicken!...As more thought provoking puzzle pieces fall into place, Dave continues to connect with listeners - it's like turning the pages of a book you can't put down.

Covers lots of material, even encouraging listeners to learn more! Dave clearly knows what he is talking about and the special guests are straight icing!

The first few episodes offer a great history refresher and there was a lot of information I hadn’t heard previously. I certainly feel very prepared for trivia nights!

I am loving this podcast! I’m learning so much from Dave’s entertaining way of telling about history. I can’t wait to listen to more episodes!

Nice work! After listening to chapters 1 and 2 of this podcast, I learned a lot and have a better perspective of world history. The information was well researched, and the presentation was engaging. I look forward to future chapters.

The host provides rich detail and explanation while sharing facts as if you’re catching up with an old friend. I am enjoying his breakdown of revolutionary history and I cannot wait to hear more!

It’s been a while since I’ve been in a history class but I feel like I could successfully play Jeopardy now. Dave does a great job of bringing historical information to life with vivid, entertaining descriptions and connects it to aspects of modern day life. What I love: The connection between modern day and history that are highlighted.

A great and entertaining listen. Can’t wait to see what the next episodes have in store.

This podcast is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for! It takes a big-picture, thoughtful approach to the development of humankind and society as we know it. The first couple episodes somehow weave a creative story to bind centuries’ worth of transformative history all together in a way that reflects the best of the nonfiction genre! I can’t wait to hear more.

The host has a unique perspective on the topic. I’m looking forward to seeing the different directions he explores. An exploration of these themes seems timely given the state of our world today. Good sense of humor, too!

I laughed, I cried, I learned. This is the greatest podcast ever. Well done to the content creator.
