Customer Reviews
Amazing, awe inspiring, ALEXANDER!
I want to start off by saying this is probably the best history podcast I have ever listened too. I am hooked! Michalis has got the formula down perfectly. Length of episodes, humour, facts, proper pronouncing and most importantly the ability to keep the listener engaged. Historical podcasts are notorious for being mono tone and boring but not this one. It’s important to learn about the foundations that were laid for Alexander to become great and this podcast does an amazing job. So much so, it’s been a tease to finally get to Alexander! I am a huge fan of Alexander the great; so much so I named my son Sikandar after him. I also emailed you a sincere thank you for creating an amazing podcast of my favourite person in history. Keep it up. Can’t wait to hear more!
Great, very insightful podcast!
Great host, detailed and interesting content. Highly recommend.
Fast becoming my favourite podcast
Alexander the Great podcast is extremely informative and in depth without being boring. I’ve tried listening to audio books as well as other podcasts on Alexander the Great, and I either dislike the hosts or I am bored out of my mind. I like how Michalis tells things how they were without sugar coating it. He also uses frequent humour you wouldn’t normally hear while trying to learn about Alexander the Great.
