Customer Reviews
I love this podcast
Interesting. In-depth. Love ittttttt
Very good
This podcast is very well done. Would highly recommend it.
I Am Everette, I Am Emperor (of podcasts)
The Michael Jordan, Babe Ruth, Wayne Gretzky of Napoleon. Thorough and detailed in the most perfect way. Thoughtful opinions with no bias. A born story teller, who has managed to literally define how a historical period and biography should be presented. Consistent uploads in the most frustrating way - even though new episodes are always uploaded at the end of the month, I check midweek with my fingers crossed. Hats off to the creator, I await the next episode with jittering anticipation.
