About this listen
Exclusively on Audible, hilarious history for ages eight and up
Did you know that most of our dinosaur fossils were discovered because two grown men absolutely hated each other? It’s true!
Rivals! Frenemies Who Changed the World is a riotous audio exclusive, like if Monty Python taught your history class. Each volume of four 30-minute histories will dig into the petty name-calling and grumbling grudges that led to many of the world’s greatest advancements, all delivered with a cheeky sense of humor.
Choose sides: Cope or Marsh, the jerks who discovered so many dinosaurs; Hamilton or Burr, whose rivalry fueled American politics; Queen Elizabeth or Mary Queen of Scots, who fought to rule England; Adidas or Puma, whose rivalry changed the world of sports and fashion.
Kidnappings, rock fights, duels, and explosions, Rivals! shows world leaders at their absolute best and their worst, often at the same time.

So entertaining!
I loved this book and how it was performed, with all the extra characters and background noises. The stories were very interesting to listen to and I really enjoyed learning about some history!

Fun Podcast
This recording seemed to me to be four funny podcasts that mixed humour, fact and sound effects in good measure.

Amazing
Seriously buy this. This is a such a fun listen. The narrator is great and the random voice actors and sound effects make a great impact and reinforce what the narrator says.
As for the content, they are classic rivalries and I need a movie or play about the bone wars and the Puma vs Adidas rivalries. They are wonderful stories.
Personally, children younger then 8 could listen to this, a lot of the jokes are childish. But some jokes could be a little riské and there is mention of womanizing and seducing of people.

Informative and funny
This book doesn't go light on the subjects, but it still manages to be legitimately funny. I loved this!
