Welcome to Reel History! On this podcast we talk about historical
movies and television shows, anything that claims to be based on a
true story, and we check – how bad did they mess it up? What was
life actually like during that time period? That’s why we’re here –

Irish history buffs and a Swede who doesn’t know anything about
history. Part of the Shows What You Know podcast network. Follow us
