"The hosts are so articulate and funny and their rapport is great. They are willing to admit when an author has a valid point, but they eviscerate them when they don't. I can't get enough of this show."

- Elizabeth Sumner, Unpacking Peanuts

The Rest Is History is a whip-smart, delightfully theatrical romp through the dusty corridors of the past, hosted with irreverent flair by historians Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook. It’s not the kind of history podcast that reveres its subject from behind velvet ropes—instead, it flings open the museum doors and lets the stories breathe. With a mix of scholarly insight and pub-table mischief, the hosts leap between empires, revolutions, scandals, and wars, treating the ancient and modern with equal curiosity.

What sets the show apart is its tone: lively without being glib, informed without ever becoming pedantic. Holland and Sandbrook riff like seasoned performers, unafraid to inject humor and controversy into well-worn narratives. They don’t just tell you what happened—they wonder aloud why, how, and what it all meant.

The Rest Is History makes the past feel alive, unruly, and endlessly debatable. It’s erudition dressed in wit, with just enough swagger to make it irresistible.
