Informative and entertaining

This well produced pod cast covers a remarkable amount of information in a serious, but, easy to understand format. I would recommend it to anyone.

Love the Mongol Info and Passion of Ben

I have listened to many podcasts on Mongol history and have read into it as well.
This is by far the most detailed and well organized history of the Mongols. I wish I could rate it 5 stars more than once.
