The History of Byzantium 
At 35:13, the narrative briefly switches from second-person to first-person.
Very enjoyable episode. 🙂
I like George.
Thank you both
You don’t know how happy I am to see a new episode! Thanks for all your dedication!
You’ve outdone yourself with this one sir, and that’s no mean feat. I didn’t think you could top the episodes about the plague of Justinian, but I’m glad to have been wrong.
🙂
Felt compelled to leave a comment after hearing this for the first time just now. You’re an astonishing storyteller and I feel very lucky to have discovered your podcast 🙂
You’re very kind
I’ve been binging these for weeks now and I’m nearing the current point in the narrative. I just have to take a moment and leave a comment that I thought this one was particularly enjoyable before I continue !
Great episode in a great series !
I ship these two! 😉 just kidding, but I love this. I’m getting a “Sixth Sense” about it. 20 minutes in.
Lol 🙂 very good
Can someone explain the ending I’m confused 😂
Which bit?
You said “he finally understands” after seeing an icon at the end. How did he get to the city?
He sees an icon of St George and realises that the young man who showed him around the city was St George. The main character died in battle and had this vision of a trip to Constantinople as he died.
Lovely story, cool way of taking us through the city!
Thank you so much
Outstanding work! My 13 year old daughter listened to the whole episode and was so engrossed in the story. We had quite the discussion about the events and what was happening to the protagonist. She may have just been bitten by the Byzantine bug.
Thanks so much 🙂
That was such an enjoyable journey. Was glued to the city map while listening along.
Thanks so much
