“Loved this show until this complete joke of an episode.
The History of the Ottoman Empire (Aug. 8, 2021) is fall of falsities, double standards, ignores any truth and the “interviewer” is too afraid to ask any real questions. If you’re going to review any European empire from Ancient Greece -colonial BRITAIN under a 2021 lens, do the same for a Islamic empire.....The guests brief and misleading coverage of the conquest of Constantinople & the total lack of questioning by the host is a joke— the guests acts like they willingly handed over the keys & nothing changed, despite accounts of mass rapes, murders, plundering, selling children into slavery by the Islamic Ottomans..., after 3 sieges..Including rapes of all ages & genders of Christians hiding in the Hagia Sophia, which the host shamelessly passes off as Muslim architecture. This happened in the 1400s if Christopher Columbus is fair game, why not the ottomans for their war crimes & atrocities?
A quick google search will show the Ottomans religiously, no pun intended— loved forced conversions like thru their system of devşirme where Christian boys in Europe were kidnapped, forced to convert & trained to kill their countrymen, as well as other mass forced conversions to Islam in the balkans and Eastern Europe. Or the Barbary slave raids where Ukrainian and polish girls where kidnapped as sex slaves (google Hurrem Sutan / Roxelana) Not to mention the numerous Roman and Christian sites, like the Hagia Sophia that the ottomans co-opted and passed off as their own architectural ingenuity....meanwhile any European empire from Ancient Greece & Rome - 1975 gets examined under a 2021 lens.”

“This is a bit like the magazine on which it is based. The topics centre around UK history (ranging from Big Ben to Henry II to the history of swimming) and they are generally competent but not too in-depth. An easy half-hour's listening but if you are looking for academic grunt or the passion...”Read full review »
