The Dollop

The Dollop is a history-focused podcast presented by the All Things Comedy Network. Hosted by comedian Dave Anthony, the show features Dave reading a story to his friend and co-host Gareth Reynolds, who does not know the topic in advance. The podcast explores American history, while occasionally branching out to stories from Australia, New Zealand, and parts of Europe. Its schedule is described as bi-weekly, with a playful note that the timing is whatever Dave wants it to mean.

The Dollop also offers The Past Times, a companion podcast in which Dave reads an old newspaper to Gareth and a guest. Past guests include Karen Kilgariff, Naomi Ekperigin, Dave Holmes, Ronny Chieng, and Sarah Tiana. The brand’s website provides access to podcast episodes, tour information, and merchandise, and promotes a book about the surprising stories of history. The site also features information about workshops and demonstrations, along with contact details and social media links. Through its podcasts and related offerings, The Dollop presents historical stories in an entertaining, conversational format.
