Thank you for taking on this project and your continued work on the topic.

I really enjoyed the podcast. I initially started because I wanted to know why we entered the conflict in the 1990's. Any updates?

Enjoyable every time, and puts together a compelling narrative in each episode.

One of the best history podcasts I’ve listened to Unfortunately it stops early in WW2, PLEASE come back and finish the story

This podcast is unlike anything I have listened to in a very long time! It is very well put together and the story telling is relatively humerus but still telling the real history of the region! You HAVE to listen to this!

Alex, I love your show! I’ve listened to it twice, and it was just as good the second time XD I started listening while traveling in Croatia, and it has inspired me to want to travel to the rest of the Balkans as well. Please keep going! Can’t wait to continue the story. Much love from California.

My husband and I were on vacation in Croatia and Bosnia and in our quest to better understand the region, discovered this podcast. It’s really well scripted, with good information, and is told in a way that is engaging and pulls you along. We’re only through season one and are already back home, but we plan to listen to the whole series! Really really good.

Love this podcast. Well balanced history but we are just getting to WW2 and no more narrative episodes. Is it done ?

Great work!

As a Croatian-American, I’ve always wanted to learn more about my culture, but the sources available in English are limited, especially if you want to go before the 1990s. And as important as the 90s are, my family left during the WWI era, so my own ties with the region predate the conflicts of my childhood. I really like seeing how the Balkans functioned under the various empires and great powers, and how the various nationalist movements began. I appreciate how Alex gets into the history, rather than going “the Romans conquered the region which formed the provinces of Illyria and Dacia... then some Slavs moved in... one, two, skip a few, 1914!” which is how trying to learn about Yugoslav history often goes, at least outside academia. Very fun, engaging, podcast to stand as a counter to “they just have been fighting for thousands of years” ahistorical takes.
