    Very entertaining
    I was given extra credit in my class for my WAP class. Though at first I procrastinated on it. I now realize this was a glorious gift of entertaining studying!
  • Creditsrrrr
    A gem
    This podcast is a pure gem. I love that it’s a good refresher for me as a teacher, but also I can assign it to my students or listen to it in the car with my husband. She covers a lot of audiences and that’s hard to do with history. It’s also simple but comprehensive, which is also hard to do. All around just great and I’m grateful to have access to this. Thank you!
  • Schooner85
    Very good
    Really enjoy the podcast. Is there anyway to get episodes before ep101?

    AP WORLD HISTORY HELP
    THANK YOU SO MUCH for your podcast series it is helping me so much in whap!!
  • Janet Lynn Mendez
    I love the way Emily breaks it down!!
    You make learning fun! I wish you could have met my history teacher at Milby High school in Houston (Mr Bill McGill). He made learning fun and engaging. I thank you thank you.
  • GladDee
    Excellent way of explaining events
    Very easy to digest and fun way to learn Hx.
  • Vdavi1021
    Great listen!
    I really enjoy the way this podcaster breaks down complicated history. I’m an English teacher but this podcast has me thinking I should’ve majored in history instead! Love the content!
  • ThisIsBigMattA
    Love this podcast!
    This is a great podcast to get a big picture view on history and the historical context of current events. She often moves focus from people that often get highlighted to the people who didn't “win history” and get to tell their own story. Give it a listen!
  • CinnamonBun
    Historical Info You Can Use
    Emily does a fantastic job of explaining history in a fun and accurate way. It’s not completely euro centric and gives great detail about what was going on in the world at different times. Love this!
  • Tommy Stein

    The early episodes are really useful for studying and understanding the later units in AP World History Modern
  • CelticDancer
    Love, love, love this podcast
    I can’t say more. The podcast is informative and entertaining.
  • Blue Manny
    Exceptionally educational
    I just want to say that I’ve followed Emily on TikTok and liked a bunch of her content. Finding out about her podcast recently, made me want to go and give the podcast a listen and just educate myself over and over again. As a history lover, I’m always learning more and more here and will happily continue to listen to the podcast. Wishing you all the best and can’t wait for more and more content.
  • jerscoshi
    Incredible
    I’ve followed Anti-Social Studies on TikTok for a long time now and I’ve always enjoyed Emily’s content. As a social studies teacher and avid history lover, you can imagine how thrilled I was to realize she has this podcast. Just incredible stuff! A++
  • MamaCianc
    Fav!
    One of my fav podcasts. I’m listening for a 2nd time. Thanks
  • mackfish5
    YES. Finally someone like me.
    I’m late to the game. I caught onto this podcast a couple weeks ago, but I’ve already binged through half of Season 3. I love that she has the same sense of humor and dorkiness as me. It’s refreshing to find another history buff who can talk about it without it sounding like a lecture. Also, sidenote, listening to the Season 2 episodes in 2022-2023 is a brutal “hindsight is 20/20” moment. Thanks Emily!!!!!
  • EmilyAAL
    Okay I get it!
    I will watch Selma, Mrs. America, and the others you mentioned. 😜😁
  • Paul Peacock
    My new favorite teacher!

  • hannahf1989
    Fantastic resource
    I am a middle school US history teacher and I listened to all of the world history and US history episodes to help me review for my National Boards certification exam. These were super helpful, entertaining, and honest about our history. I appreciate the time and effort you put into this, Emily and admire your work. Keep it up! Your students are lucky to have you.
  • ray dass lover
    AMAZING
    This podcast is the best. I used this to review for the AP World exam last year and the APUSH exam this year and it was extremely helpful (I got a 4 on World and a 5 on APUSH), as well as entertaining. Emily is an awesome host. I’m not in history class anymore (maybe there can be an AP Gov edition somehow?), but I’m still listening to the new episodes because of how fascinating it is! Thank you for making this :)
  • nicole0030
    making learning fun!
    I absolutely LOVE this podcast! I came for the US history content, but I am definitely going to go back and listen to the world history content! I love the context and insight provided by Emily, it’s always simultaneously hilarious and poignant. I plan to talk the ears off of all of my friends about this podcast because it’s just that good! :)
  • Misslauralouwi
    Awesome!
    The history is on point, the humor is hilarious, and the pop culture references make my history nerd heart so happy!

  • marianna Rojas 🏐
    THE BEST HISTORY PODCAST
    I learned about Emily’s podcast after listening to her live review sessions for AP World History which helped me understand the course so much better!! This history podcast has great content, and at the same time is hilarious. I recommend this podcast to anyone seeking a bit more knowledge about the past and a laugh too.
  • snehaa_t
    Incredible!
    Just finished my AP World course and after binging all of her youtube videos I couldn’t get enough so I’ve started listening to these podcasts. They’re absolutely wonderful so funny and informative! Hope she never stops!
  • Claymore75
    So Awesome!!!
    This is by far the coolest thing I have listened to in a long time! These podcasts are informative, accurate and very, very palatable. I am also an AP High School teacher and I am so excited I found these and will be using them with my students and recommending them to anyone who enjoys history. Keep up the great work!
