I love this podcast of French history

Well produced and well paced. I’ve learnt so much since I started listening a couple of years ago. Especially enjoyed the early history with Gaul and the Romans

I just can’t …

I lost interest after 20 or so episodes … not sure why but I could not be drawned back in … it would put me to sleep while driving, as many podcasts do - and I did not fancy the special editions so I decided to bail …

Great podcast

This is a wonderful history podcast. The author has definitely found his stride in story telling. His academic background comes through but well paced with a great sense of humour. Bravo!
