The Backstory with Patty Steele

25

Love a good, juicy story that goes beyond what we already know? We're talking scandalous presidential family members, a mass murder at a world-famous architect's home, stolen inventions, nude athletes at the first Olympics, compulsive liars, the arrival of the bikini, and so much more. History fanatic Patty Steele tells you the inside backstories you didn’t know you needed to know.

    Trump watch
    This podcast has a gross commercial for Trump watches. Don’t like that they are promoting a criminal’s merchandise on this podcast.

    More length, less ads
    I started listening to this podcast after hearing Patty talk about it on the Elvis Duran Morning Show, as I really enjoyed the concept and was intrigued to learn more. While the narration is great and the stories are interesting, I really wish the topics were a bit more broad. Sometimes I feel they are a bit too narrowed and the episodes are too short. If the topics were slightly more general, I think they could easily span 20 minutes. This brings me to my next point: the ads. Four minutes of ads is pretty normal for most podcasts that are 20 - 30 minutes in length. These episodes however are 8 - 10 minutes, meaning almost half the episode is filled with ads. This is far too much, and I’ve found myself disappointed that the actual contact was no more than 5 minutes long. TLDR: make the episodes slightly more general to lengthen them, which will make the amount of ads more bearable.

    Almost half of the podcast is ads.

    Learned About Honda Sales
    I tried so hard to enjoy the content, which was super short and so quickly delivered. I learned more about what ads iHeart has to sell than anything else. Kinda ridiculous.

    Ad to episode ratio is impossible
    For such short episodes, the amount of ad time for this show is utterly ridiculous.

    Great show
    The topics are varied, so I’m always intrigued. The narration is great, too.

    Captivating but too short
    I love how entertaining this podcast is, I just wish the episodes were longer.
  • xtina621
    Love it! Need it to be longer.
    Intriguing podcast but I with it was so much longer!

    Where are the episodes?
    I really enjoy this podcast, much different than the true crime podcast I usually listen to. I’m confused as to where are all the episodes. I thought the host said there were episodes twice a week but I only had 4-5 episodes. I’m I missing something? Want more 😊😊

    Like it but…
    The background music is distracting and too loud.
  • Clint.Lorance
    Short and powerful
    Refreshingly educational, yet not so long as to lose your attention or disrupt your day.

    Great Premise, Little Substance
    I heard an ad for this show and and was excited to check it out. The stories/themes presented so far are interesting, but the episodes leave much to be desired at only 6 minutes long. You can basically read the episode overview and learn everything you’ll hear in the show. The FLW episode was especially disappointing. If you have a short attention span, maybe this is for you.

    Interesting, but the delivery…
    Steele speaks with an unsettling amount of relish about horrible things. It comes across as sensationalism. Perhaps this could be adjusted?☮️

    Abraham Lincoln
    I heard you on Elvis Duran show this morning talking briefly about Abraham Lincoln’s shooting. You are a wonderful story teller and great voice for story telling. I look forward to listening to more episodes.
