I like it
It’s funny to me that he has this axe to grind with Diocletian and calls him Dioclese.
It’s a good podcast
Great podcast
This is a great podcast, as good as Mike Duncan’s “A History of Rome”. The only drawback is that he never finished it, but what we have is great. Well told, goes into more depth in some areas, skips some things not relevant to the story he is telling. Love it!
Best Rhine you’ll take in
I drive for work so binging podcasts is a thing. This podcast has been super tasty. Unlike pork rinds you’ll be coming back for more. The info is presented well and the man delivering this tarty dish isn’t dry. He does his best to bring what facts he can from a time where thing didn’t look always get written down. As alway remember there are sides to all history and you should listen to them all. Please sample this great dish and may you learn about people that have hard names to pronounce.
