“I discovered it less than a year ago, and Binge-listened to several, since then. As a History-buff, I appreciate how it is instructive, clean, and the Podcaster’s English is Gorgeously-spoken.”

“Keep them coming. The only downside is that you have to wait for new episodes forever. But then you receive quality over quantity.”

“Very well done! High production values, good narration, in depth episodes!! Hardcore History got me deeply interested in WW1 and this podcast has gotten me deeply interested in the Bronze Age and Fertile Crescent civilisations! Now looking for a book on the topic :) Highly recommend!”

“Moving, admirable scholarship, modest… this is a true hidden gem, finding this took toiling through so many overdone history podcasts that are more focused on entertaining than evoking the true spirit of these lost civilizations. Quintessential texts recorded and stories from these ancient times...”Read full review »

“Take for example the conclusion in episode two on the collapse of the Bronze Age. Amazing. Going over all the interlaying factors that would and could cause such a collapse. Explaining it all in such a clean and organized fashion it was easy to digest and understand. I’m blown away by how well...”Read full review »

“Please keep the episodes coming! Can you do one on Chaco canyon New Mexico? I think you’ll be amazed on what you’ll find out. Can you ask the British Monarchy to return the statue to Easter island? It’s not right in this day and time that they still have it. Thanks”
