Mixed bag
Harrison's podcasts are alternately enlightening and maddening, sometimes filled with insight but more often than not unstructured and riddled with loose, rambling, Romantic digressions. The show on Byzantine culture is a good example: where a program like In Our Time would give an amateur listener a fair picture of the subject, start to finish, the Entitled Opinions approach resulted in a jumble of the two academics' favorite areas; detours into University-sanctioned hot topics (religious identity, administration); and a dismayingly small amount of historical information. Harrison clearly loves the sound of his own voice and his own opinions, which can be rewarding--but only when he attempts to meet the listener halfway.Read full review »
