A Door to a Lost World
With our Euro-centric view of history very little is learned about the Roman Empire after Rome falls in the fourth century. Well, the Romans go on to thrive and fail in Constantinople, the gateway between the east and west, for another millennium. Mr. Brownsworth provides a peek into this fascinating world in an engage-able, approachable manner. You may just be left in tears hearing about the siege & fall of Constantinople in 1453. The push and pull between the dominating powers of the east and west have been going on for thousands of years. Lastly, the most important insight I gained from listening to this podcast is that a nation is the most vulnerable to external foes when a nation is divided within. I hope the US comes together.

Where was Brownworth when I was taking history in University?? He's a first class presenter with the right mix of personal commentary and great history. Its something that even my kids enjoyed listening too. Think we can get him to do the US Civil War next?Read full review »

I downloaded this podcast just to hear what it was about and now I'm 'hooked'. Lars Brownworth makes me want to read the history books from this period. Well spoken, clear voice, interesting content. Congratulations to him and good for us.

Not updated nearly enough, and the little excerpts on his web site should really be in the cast, but the content and production values are top-notch. I usually listen to each Podcast multiple times and this is definitely one of my favorite PodCasts!
