who's the loud bro-y dude with off-color jokes? (mark, i think) how incredibly disrespectful... consequently very hard to listen to because of him. maybe he's not this way in all the episodes but i just listened to the Kowloon walled city episode and man he made my stomach turn. if you're gonna talk about people, do it in a respectful and humble manner ... hard pass for me

The info is awesome. Love the subject matter and the depth but one of the three hosts keeps smacking while he talks. How has this not been addressed?!? If this doesn’t bother you - highly recommend. If you have misophonia or just hate THIS STUPID NOISE, maybe skip this one.

Please do more!!!!!!!!!!!

Love listening to the guys talk about random places in the world. They go deep.

The best history/geography podcast I’ve come across. Officially addicted, all I talked about to family this last holiday

Can you guys please post a new one I am hooked

This was a great find! I hope they keep It going!

It is great to learn about so many new places. The show always finds interesting things to talk about as they look at parts of the world that aren’t necessarily on the front page of the news.

Very fun, very entertaining. Great way to escape and mentally prepare for travel. Very informative.

I love this podcast it’s so unlike anything else out there . The research is excellent and gives me so much knowledge about places I know very little about . It’s also delivered in an amusing manner . I know it’s probably the economics of it but if only the episodes and series could be more regular

Love this podcast! As a travel blogger I appreciate people who can tell a comprehensive history in a way that keeps my attention. My favorite podcast right now.

Listened to this in quarantine loved it. Would love to see u guys back for another season

...looking for more information about Liberia. Now I’ve listened to all the episodes because I love learning more about little known places! After each episode, I look at their YouTube links which usually leads me down a rabbit hole watching travel documentaries. I listened to the Utah episode before I went there this year and was spitting facts I learned in this podcast the whole trip. Def worth a listen!

I've been listening for a few years and the hosts do a great job presenting the histories in compelling but balanced ways. The music choices are often times excellent and the diversity of locations is insightful. I would highly recommend!

I can’t recommend this podcast enough. The hosts do a deep, deep dive into the far-flung locales they spotlight. Ever informative and always entertaining.

Very entertaining and informative. Love listening to your podcast!

Great podcast to listen to at work.

I love this podcast

I found this podcast whilst deep in the bowels of Reddit and have since binged through a season and a half between two lonely 7 hour drives; it is quite possibly the only thing that kept me sane during this time. I am consistently surprised by each episode and wholeheartedly plan to listen to every episode out and every one that will come out. As someone who finds myself often lost in the Wikipedia page of a random country, this podcast is everything I could dream of in learning about the intricacies of a people's culture and home. As a broke college student this is about as close to world travel as I can do. I am beyond thrilled to keep listening and will definitely share with anyone/everyone, these guys deserve it!

Granted I'm a big geography nerd, but this is a great podcast. The guys have a laid back but thourough approach and they pack a TON of info into each episode. Keep 'em coming!

And it’s fun, funny and interesting. Oh and mesmerizing!

If you are the type of person that loves to continue learning and enjoys history and geography, this is the podcast for you! Why listen to that same mediocre song you heard yesterday (and the day before that) when you can travel the world with these guys? I spent the summer falling in love with this podcast. I hope you will give it a try!!

This podcast is so wonderful. The young voices putting faraway places into context for me. Thank you! A+!!

I found this podcast after the gentlemen posted on the Faroe Islands subreddit and I could not be happier that they did. I LOVE this podcast! Fantastic information about history, culture and current situation of smaller places around the world. Can’t recommend it enough!

Seriously it’s hard to think of enough superlatives for this great podcast. The three guys put on a tremendous show that’s both fun and educational. Well done lads!

I’ve tried to write a review on here a few times but I’m terrible with technology so I don’t think they ever got posted. I was shocked to find this podcast years ago because it seems aimed specifically at me. I love love love learning lesser known histories and exploring the hidden corners of the globe. If you love travel or history it’s the best out there. Also incredibly funny. Every time a new episode comes out it’s like receiving a present. I can’t wait to get swept away to another faraway place.

The only request I have is to please pleaseee include the well known places, not only the little, forgotten ones ! I love this podcast. I am learning so much. An objective, comprehensive description of a ton of different locations around the world. So helpful and slowly coming out of my bubble of ignorance :)

Great podcast. The three hosts work really well together to cover each location in an informative and sensitive manner. Adds a wider perspective about the world to my teaching. Thanks!

If you are one of those people who kills time durring breaks by browsiing around Google Maps and Wikipedia, this one is for you. The hosts are engaging and the places are fascinating. A solid show.

As someone who works as a geographer, I love this podcast. I always find I learn something new and useful for my field, and the information is presented in a very entertaining manner. I recommend anyone who wants to learn more about the world we live in to give this podcast a listen.

While watching a documentary, I realized I wanted to find a podcast (if one existed) to give me the “Wikipedia version” history of places around the world. Google led me here as it is kind of close to what I originally wanted. The coincidence? The documentary was about Namibia. Episode 1 is about Namibia. The universe has spoken

Very informative and interesting. The format is unique compared to many history podcasts in that it takes you through all the history of a particular place in a single episode. I’m a fan and recommend this podcast.

The best geography podcast out there. If you have any interests in geopolitics, international studies, history, or random trivia this is the podcast for you. Educational and entertaining presented by three Irish guys. Definitely brings to light many less talked about places across the globe. 10/10.

Does exactly as it says on the tin: 80 Days is a thoroughly researched deep dive into places you’ve maybe never heard of, recounted with attention to detail and storytelling.

I highly recommend this podcast to anyone interested in history or travel! I have learned so much from listening!!!

I have learned so much about many different countries from listening to this podcast! Especially countries that are lesser known to most westerners! Fascinating!

One of the many things that I love about this podcast, are the passionate hosts who present geography in such a fun and delighful way! Keep up the great work guys!

If you love geography and learning about the world, definitely listen to these guys. Super informational and interesting facts and they’re fun to listen to as well! There’s a ton of small, interesting countries so I hope for many, many more episodes!

Fellow geography nerd here. I love this podcast. Keep up the good work fellas! I like that you pick the lesser known countries/territories because their story is little known and the research into them is not nearly as easy. When I listen I'm literally hearing some of these histories for the first time which makes it fascinating. Thanks!

In my trivia league, everyone is terrible at geography, so I though I wouls study it a bit to get a leg up. It turns out that memorizing maps is pretty boring. This podcast is great because it provides just the right level of context and detail to keep things interesting, and doesn't assume this listener is already a history or geography buff. Thanks, guys! Keep it up!

I wish history class had been more like this when I was in school! Joe, Luke and Mark have clearly done a lot of research on these episodes, but they make it conversational and fun. Also it's just cool (and appropriate) that they record remotely from three very differently parts of the world. It's like traveling without having to actually, you know...travel.

Absolutely riveting! Anyone that loves history and geography should listen to this. Very informative and great pacing that keeps it interesting.

Very informative and very well researched. Also, great chemistry between the hosts which makes for a great listen.

Big picture; this podcast works. 3 guys talk about a little known place in the world. In the pocastwold its a nice change of pace - this is an informative podcast, not a school lecture, it’s much more light hearted and fun. For those who want to learn about interesting places, or just want to hear a great conversation, this is it.

I aspire to visit as many countries as possible. These guys have such awesome chemistry and insight on countries that are less known but still as amazing.

I love the idea of doing a podcast on countries whose histories are less widely known. If you're looking for a travel guide, this won't quite be what your'e lookign for, but if you're looking for a really fun informative podcast to learn more about places on the planet you might not have learned about in school (unless you live in that country), this is exactly what you've been looking for.

I'm looking forward to learning more about all the countries they're visiting. It's been fun and educational so far!

Suggested topics: Falkland Islands, palenques in Colombia, Zanzibar, Georgia Armenia & Azerbaijan, welsh settlements in Argentina, Missourian French, Madagascar, Lesotho, Friesland, bikini island.

80 Days: An Exploration Podcast is a very enjoyable format. The hosts have good chemistry, and their episodes are well planned and educational. If you enjoy traveling the world, plan on traveling the world, or like to learn obscure world history, you need to subscribe to this podcast.

Bravi, and encore! If you're looking to better understand the planet you live on, I should say that 80 Days offers well-nigh unrivaled return on the investment of half an hour. Very pleasant, very informative; if these three bold explorers follow this concept for, shall we say, two hundred-ish episodes, they shall have created a unique trove of entertainment and learning.
