Excellent way to start learning Roman history

This podcast is perfect for someone who doesn’t know where to start. I’m a college classics student, and I needed more Roman history. Mike Duncan crafts episodes which are eminently understandable and compel your interest.

Best Podcast

This was my first ever podcast and the first time listening I was hooked, Simply Amazing.

My first history podcast is still fantastic

This is the first history podcast I listened to… in maybe 2014

Now I’m listening to it again as I walk around traveling Europe and it’s still great. Except this time I’m listening at 2x speed!
