Providing great entertainment while maintaining a convincing scholarly standard, the History of Byzantium represents considerably more than just the continuation to Mike Duncan's History of Rome. I very much enjoy Robin’s carefully paced narrative, subtle sense of humour, emphasis on human perspective and willingness to consider and discuss alternative views wherever they might come from. Especially since the subject is such an exotic, obscure, neglected matter. The successive additions and innovations to the core narration should also be commended: the end of century retrospectives, the backer’s rewards episodes, the interviews with leading scholars, the supporting maps and resources on the excellent website. I won’t presume to compare different podcasts on objective terms, but for my subjective perception Robin’s show is there on the podium with other outstanding creations such as Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History or Mike Duncan’s Revolutions. Thanks to Robin’s efforts, I can actually look forward to ironing my shirts or solving similar, otherwise deeply hated household chores while I’m listening to the story of the Empire recounted in his calm, conciliatory voice. I wholeheartedly recommend it!
Lovely
