Having been a history fan for over 40 years, your podcast is the only thing I have been inspired enough by to write an e-mail to thank you for your excellent work. High praise indeed!

I agree with Hardcore gear. The first few episodes i missed “A history of Rome” alot and did not like your style. But now im an addict and i really really like this show. Something that is especially impressive and rewarding for me is that you avoid just telling the history of the emperors, you cast a wider net, or so it apears to me at least. That must be really difficult to acomplish. You are simply the best.
