The Napoleonic Wars Podcast

Zack’s passion for the subject, along with his wit, sarcasm, and vocal disdain for Ridley Scott’s Napoleon film permeates his episodes and presents the era in a deeply fascinating, entertaining, and easily digestible manner. His guests are amazing and makes me wish I followed my childhood passion for history into adulthood.

Outstanding podcast, really great information and discussion. Broad variety of topics and they get quite deep into them. Sometimes fascinating topics you’d not expect. Great for the Napoleonic maven or the casual listener. That said, the host requested reviews, saying that if every listener were to leave five stars, this would be one of the top podcasts or perhaps *the* top podcast in Europe. Europe? I’m sorry but the host is British, the podcast is in English, and BRITAIN SAW NAPOLEON OFF, THANK YOU VERY MUCH! WATERLOO, 1815, HAVEN’T HEARD FROM HIM SINCE!

If you are even casually interested in the Napoleonic era, you owe it to yourself to listen to this podcast. It goes deep on any and every issue you can think of regardless of how esoteric, and manages to avoid coming off as dry, stodgy, or pompous while it does so. Dr White and his expanding team of hosts do an excellent job of wringing as much information as possible from their guests as humanly possible, while also having quite a good bit of fun. I would rate this show 6 stars if I could!

As a massive fan of this period I was nervous about podcasts as many are very weak and amateur. This is a tour d’force. The guest go deep into the subject matter but in an approachable way. I already have quite a knowledge base but I found much more of interest than I imagined. Some topics areas i was not interested in until I heard about them on some of the podcast.
