I had been looking for a good, in-depth podcast on Napoleon, and after asking on Reddit, I was told about this one that had just started. I was hesitant, as I tend to be when finding a new podcast I know nothing about, but I was convinced from the first episode on that this was gonna be a great one. Good narration, good audio quality, love the pacing, and the episode length is just right. It's indeed very in-depth, the host is engaging and active on social media, and you never get the feeling that he rushes through something to get to the more famous bits. I know this one is gonna keep delivering the goods for years to come, and I think it will appeal to any history fan.
