“... Now I have another historical interest to soak up my valuable reading / listening time! I heard about this podcast from a friend and fellow ancient history enthusiast, but I was lukewarm to the idea of devoting time to a 20-episode podcast. I must admit, my view of the Byzantines was decended directly from Edward Gibbon's dismal view of them, which is well summarized by Lars Brownworth in this series. I was shocked to find that I had been giving short shrift to a fascinating and extremely influential historical era and civilization, and I could hardly stop listening to "12 Byzantine Rulers" until it was finished.
This podcast is fascinating, fair-minded and, based on the little I knew about the Byzantines prior to listening, very accurate. The presentation in the first couple of episodes is a little uneven, but it rapidly stabilizes and Mr. Brownworth performs very well from then on. Very interesting and easy to listen to. I cannot recommend "12 Byzantine Rulers" enough.”Read full review »

“This has quickly become a hit with me and all of my friends, even with those who don't like history so much. Enjoying history is all about hearing it from a good storyteller and Lars is tops. The other history podcasts, including those from famous universities pale in comparison to the high...”Read full review »
