“It is definitely one of the best podcasts I have listened to. If you enjoy The History of Rome, Revolutions, or History of the Great War, I am sure you will enjoy this one as well.”

“This is one of my favorite podcasts. I love Sharyn’s cadence and tone. I love how she sounds ever so slightly bored in the intro when she says “History of the Crusades.” Truly I adore it. The history is incredibly detailed, but easy to follow. I get tripped up in some other podcasts detailing...”Read full review »

“Informative and well presented. Often funny, but in a way that doesn’t take the attention from the history.
I used to listen to it in real time, and now I am listening to the next series, about the reconquista and it’s just as good.”

“One of the best podcasts I have ever heard. Each episode takes a single topic in this historical epic and gives enough detail to understand the regional, political and religious factors of the armies and people involved, without losing the narrative in too much detail. If my college professors...”Read full review »

“I read some young adult book on the crusades, back in another lifetime. This has quenched my hunger for more on the Crusades. And Bonus! She then went on to crusades I had only barely heard of, in France, and then Lithuania & Poland. Looking forward to her next podcast - Reconquista after...”Read full review »

“Complete and utter propaganda than only brainlets could enjoy. Anyone giving this a 4 or 5 star you can rest assured has an IQ sub-80.
