“I tried to make it to episode 4, but can’t get past hearing the Socialist BHO’s voice projected as “great” among all of the other legitimately relevant historical audio clips used during the intro. The content is fantastic though. Just my individual opinion.”

“I hope he’s not done with this show and will make a return at some point, because HITM has answered so many questions I had about ancient Greece. This will be a show I’ll listen to more than once; phenomenal job and great presentation.”

“Really well researched and well presented. I find few history podcasts in this format can hold the listener’s attention but the presenter does a great job of keeping me engaged. His passion for it comes through
Also with the references - no easy thing in audio - he keeps you in the loop as to...”Read full review »

While the shows name makes me feel a certain connection between the present and the ancient past (in this respect, the connection of government, of our ideas of justice, our ideas of...”Read full review »

“Found this recently having just read Thuycidides and Donal Kagans book, Tje Peloponnesus War. It is a great exploration of the same topics and themes but in easy to digest chunks that make too incredible (but complex) books much easier to think about. An amazing show for a good description of a...”Read full review »

“What makes this podcast so special is how well it transports you into Ancient Athens. You are the citizen at Ecclesia. You are the wife waiting for your husband to return from war. Alas, you are the soldier at sea in the midst of battle. I don’t think I’ve been so eager to learn about the great...”Read full review »
