The History of Rome

This show’s a cheap imitation of Mike Duncan’s “The History of Rome” (go give it a listen, it’s actually good.)

They’re literally just reading off chat gpt, this is horrendous

If you’re looking for a cheap imitation of a masterpiece, then sure, give A. Martin’s The History of Rome a listen. But let’s be clear: this show is a blatant attempt to siphon off the legacy of Mike Duncan’s The History of Rome, the original, true, and best podcast on the subject. Duncan’s work isn’t just a history podcast—it’s a soul-filled labor of love that takes listeners on an unparalleled journey through Rome’s infancy to its decline. Every episode is crafted with care, precision, and an obvious dedication to historical accuracy and storytelling. A. Martin’s show, by contrast, feels hollow and uninspired—a pale shadow of the original. Worse, its title seems like an opportunistic ploy to confuse listeners and steal plays from Duncan’s monumental work. If you want to experience the history of Rome as it was meant to be told, with passion, depth, and integrity, skip this pretender. Instead, listen to Mike Duncan’s The History of Rome. Accept no substitutes for the real thing.

95% sure this was made with Google’s AI tool that tries to replicate a casual conversation. If not, I’d love to hear feedback from the creator. Until then I can’t listen…
