My favorite podcast

As a true history nerd, I was so happy to find this very well, very interesting podcast. Keep up the good work! I even subscribed for all the extra content I love it so much.
Good show, too short not enough detail
Apr 9
Only complaint is that the episodes are too short. Would prefer a longer format that goes into more detail on people and events.
Short podcast, aggressive advertising
Mar 25
The podcast itself is well written but annoyingly short, especially compared to other narrative history podcasts. It’s also being used to “Trojan horse” another podcast (The School of Greatness) as “bonus content” that has absolutely nothing to do with history and is utter crypto bro flavored garbage. I like Dan Jones, but give this one a big swerve- it’s not worth the debris in your feed.
Brings ancient history to life

Well written and excellent story telling. Better than any TV mini series. Totally binge worthy. Highly recommend!
