Educationally rich and flawlessly crafted!
Ancient Greece Declassified is like an American version of In Our Time, with all the decorated and illustrious (and sometimes literally the same) guests, only it's produced by one person, alone, doing everything. Lantern Jack is an excellent, thorough, informed, and fun interviewer - he knows exactly how to introduce and guide a discussion along so that it's comprehensible to the relative layman, and simultaneously be courteous to his guests. Though he's a PhD steeped in the field, and prepared for each topic, he never loses sight of the show's central aim: bringing the world's strongest classicists and experts on the ancient world to the general public, and having comprehensible discussions about their areas of interest, and the marvelousness of ancient history, in general. This is an incredibly useful, generous project of public scholarship - I hope he's able to continue it forever, and other classicists take note, because AGD is exactly what the field needs. And holy cow, those subject introductions at the outset of each episode are well-written, effective and delightful!Read full review »

I have just discovered this podcast and was delighted. It is clear, and goes into depth on a fascinating topic. Sound quality is good, interviews are engaging and the host is fantastic. The Bronze Age Collapse and the Illiad were both extremely well presented. Can't wait to listen to more.Read full review »
