I love his style of storytelling. It’s incredibly clear that narratives, context, and characters are extremely well researched. What’s even more impressive is that it does not come at the expense of engaging storytelling. I admittedly am a history nerd, but I finish episodes wanting more and have binged this entire series over the course of a month. One of my very favorite podcasts ever.
Easily worth Paying For

While podcasts will always vary in quality, The Age of Napoleon is the only one I’ve found (so far) that’s easily worth paying extra for. (In fact, the Patreon subscription is an outright bargain.) I’ve never been particularly interested in Napoleon, but this podcasts is engrossing, peppered with human details, and narrated with an obvious passion for the subject.
Highly recommend

I’ve been a podcast listener for many years, and I can honestly say I’ve rarely enjoyed one as much as The Age of Napoleon. The narration is thorough and compelling, striking the perfect balance between depth and storytelling. I’ve learned an enormous amount—and been consistently entertained along the way. Highly recommended.
