Absolutely one of the best podcasts on the platform a must listen
Truly Fantastic, can’t say enough good things!!
I found this podcast a few years ago and have loved it since, well researched, in depth, super interesting. The only knock possible is that sometimes it takes a while between episodes but at almost an hour per episode I’d imagine gathering sources would take a while
An excellent, interesting & informative podcast!
This is a great podcast, well made and well researched, whether for die-hard history nerds or for newcomers wanting to learn more about the man and his time (as well as countless other personalities & events of the era). The author also produces episodes with diverse subject matter to add to the general topics by of military & political history, such as fashion and dating in the era and other interesting topics. Also the character arcs keep things interesting such as on Toussaint Louverture or Horatio Nelson. Overall this is a great podcast that I would definitely recommend to anyone.
