“Whether you’re an ancient history student, or just interested in ancient history the bite sized history you get from this podcast is excellent.
When I was studying Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome, these podcasts gave me some insight and ideas of where to look for my papers.
Very interesting...”Read full review »

“Really enjoying this podcast. He takes on a variety of topics that don’t see much light and conveys the information with humor and insight. It’s well-researched and perfect for binging. (His rapid-fire delivery in the first few episodes soon moderates, so dont let that put you off).”

“Well researched and fascinating podcast. Everything from big sweeps of classical history to the small things of every day life in antiquity. Not saturated with advertising or premium tiers, but an author who is passionate about his favorite subject and wants to share.”

“Excellent content. It is always nice to have another option for those who have an interest in ancient history.
The presentation would improve if the Podcaster provided less attempted witticisms, some of which are cringe worthy. The material presented is interesting enough on its own behalf.”

“Ancient History Hound is eminently entertaining and informative. His tone and topics are more akin with erudite bedtime stories for adults rather than the all to often listing of occurances of well worn over typical stories that one may encounter.”

“An amazing look at the underserved areas of ancient life. Neil (and Emma) is a fantastic storyteller and his slang is hysterical. If you listen from pod 1 the style changes over time. But the first couple of pods are unlike anything you have ever heard. Great stuff.”

“Great topics but the gentleman is talking too fast when recounting events. I know Greek history pretty well but, when listening to the Sicilian expedition episode, it was difficult to follow the rapid-fire narrative. A slower, more conversational style, would make this poddie a winner.”

“Uniquely interesting, entertaining & insightful.
My only question is: why does this podcast only have 8 ratings (as of today) and only one review? Even if it were half as good as it is, unreasonably far fewer posts than expected. Perhaps there’s a glitch? Worth looking into imo.”
