“Some history podcasts put me to sleep no matter how fascinating the story content. This one wakes me up. Their pacing, rhythm, comedy, and personalities are perfectly crafted for keeping the story moving. They drill into the history hard and then have a quick exchange about it just at the point it starts to get difficult to process. Their banter is fun, like a snippet from an entirely different kind of podcast, but then they dive back into the history before the commentary and jokes go on too long. The voice of Julius Caesar is simply brilliant. Not just hilarious. It’s really how that guy was, in all it’s 3rd person absurdity. Fleshing our the person with relevant story-driving humor. So good. I really wish it wasn’t entirely focused on western history because there’s so little Asian history out there in English that isn’t tediously boring in it’s delivery. This podcast is crazy good at ancient western history. It pushes against the ridiculous male-centric narrative (ugh) so well. It fills in as many gaps as it can. I just want my hemispheric void of ancient eastern history to start getting filled by podcasters as engaging as these. Perhaps that’s out of scope. Or maybe I missed those episodes. Anyways, love it! Side note: I want them to interview Dan Carlin. It’d be like Olympius and Atossa (or Cleopatra, take your pick) talking to Cicero (or Churchill). Fertile ground there. Me thinks Dan could use some challenging along these lines. And he’s such an ancient history fan boy too. Basically I want Ancient History Fangirl to be a bigger force for good in the podcasting world, and to have a legion of imitators.”

“I love this so much. The information is fascinating (and often titillating) and the delivery is absolutely top-notch. These are two very funny ladies in addition to their being knowledgeable.”
