“1. He has a bad audio manner -- lots of coughing and throat-clearing, which might not be distracting in a live lecture but get in the way in audio-only.
2. I really wanted a course in ancient Greek history, not a primer in modern American Conservative thought. Really, do I need to hear about the Founding Father during a discussion of Bronze Age Greece? Yeah, no. There are plenty of appropriate places for those topics.
3. Most damning, he makes a lot of assured statements on topics outside his field where he is simply wrong. Europe did not defend into chaos and abject ignorance for centuries when the Western Roman Empire ended; there was lots of stuff going on. A lot of his assertions about the structure and beliefs of non-Western cultures are also wrong or so simplified as to be meaningless. This makes me seriously question his presentation of what I came to learn. If I "catch him out" 2-3 times an episode for the first three episodes on things I know, how can I believe what he is telling me about what I don't know?
An enormous disappointment,”Read full review »
