Customer Reviews
Extraordinary!
This has been a fantastic journey. The delivery is engaging yet informative, which isn’t always a given. I’ve reached the point where Napoleon has become first consul, and am already dreading the day when I’m caught up and no new episodes are available. Highly recommend!
The Age of Napoleon
The presentation is good. However, the podcast home offers the episodes in an other than sequence order. You cannot simply scroll through the episodes and find the next podcast.
I have lost my way in the sequence. I have no desire to sort it out. Au revoir
Fantastic Podcast
This is a wonderful, informative, and entertaining podcast. I especially enjoy that it covers the social, economic, political, and military situations of before and during Napoleon.. Everett Rummage is a pleasure to listen to and quite learned on this topic.
