Just finished the last episode

Thank you Ray and Cam for the last 9 years! What a journey, I have loved every minute of it and you had me laughing so many times along the way. I am a massive fan of your work, which has greatly increased my love of history. Again, thank you both - what a perfect podcasting duo!

Greatest Podcast of All Time

I never would’ve thought that ancient history could be interesting. Now I listen to 2-3 hours of Roman history a day as I commute to and from work. I’m still catching up but I’m already looking forward to Cam and Ray’s other podcasts. Cam and Ray are so good they even pop into your head at inappropriate times, in particular them laughing about the quote “passengers are never allowed on board until the hold is full”.
This podcast is the most entertaining podcast I’ve listened to and is massively binge worthy. Well worth a listen.
