Really thought I’d hate it

I had no interest in Napoleon or his times at all, but I gave this a shot. Man, I regret not starting it sooner! Every day I’m thinking about Napoleonic history now, absolutely crazy how much I look forward to new episodes. Everett does a great job of getting outside of Napoleon’s head, which I imagine is hard when covering a figure as totalizing as… Napoleon Bonaparte. I’d recommend for anyone who wants any level of knowledge about how the modern world was born, because this podcast is as accessible or as deep as you want it to be. Great stuff!
Amazing Podcast!

I was uninspired by the movie but interested in learning more. I feel like I hit the mother lode! Exceptionally well done content and delivery. Thank you from me who somehow missed world history as I was studying less important, but useful things.
