This channel is special. It feels like you're sitting right there in the room with an interesting teacher who's got a passion for the subject. It's much different from the over produced documentaries and things you find on KZread.

And you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. -Jeremiah 29:13 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life. - John 3:16 Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out. - Acts 3:19 If you’re in North America, please go check out any of the churches available to you: PCA, OPC, Rpcna/Rpc, Urcna, or a canrc church (These are conservative and actual Presbyterian churches) If you can’t find one of the conservative presby churches then, maybe a Lcms Lutheran church. If you are Scottish, I recommend the Free Church of Scotland and the APC. (Different from the Church of Scotland) If you’re English I recommend the Evangelical Presbyterian Church in England & Wales and the Free Church of England (Different from the Church of England) Also online you can look up church finders for each of the groups, it will show you locations. :)

@@thehistorysquad oooh that's one for Xmas eve then...you know I love your videos, I know I've said before, and I don't do it flippantly, it's more than deserved.. my favourite history themed channel by far even over Lucy Worsley and Mary beard and even Tony Robinson. You rank alongside them in terms of quality, education, entertainment and have that same down to earth approach although I must say you are a better storyteller than those 3 and draw the viewer in to the time, it's so encapsulating and of the time u can almost smell it..😉 but really you do draw one In and hold the audience attention. Thrilling and fun. I can say I've never been bored watching one of your videos so all the very best at this seasonal time of year..have the very best time and enjoy your break..and we will all rejoin you in 24 for some more uncovering of history..and thank you so so much for all the time,.energy and hard work you put in..the heart and passion comes across in every episode , it's obvious you love making these videos ...happy Christmas, all the very fondest wishes to you and yours. 👏❤️

I’m 49 and until the last 10ish years was not in the least bit interested in history. I usually watch Absolute History but you popped up in my algorithm and I’m loving this channel too!!!! My dad was a history buff but more about wars. He would be so proud of my interest in it now. I wish I would have had a teacher like you in school. I would probably have loved it then.

I always gauge how gruesome Kevin's tales will be based on his costume and the props on the table next to him. Seeing his dapper first costume, I was lulled into a false sense of security. I knew we were in for some spine-chilling terror when his costume changed and a severed head and little effigy of a woman at the stake was revealed. Thank you Kevin for your amazing story-telling!
