Great history podcast
This podcast is a worthy addition to the Mike Duncan and David Crowther family of history podcasts. Additionally, Dirk employs a bold and nuanced approach to this narrative - he admits and embraces the fact that the subject matter of German history itself has a difficult history, having been used for various political propaganda campaigns, most notoriously in the twentieth century. Nonetheless, Dirk’s narrative tries to practice a disciplined historiography by abound what C.S. Lewis and David Crowther call “chronological snobbery”, and instead of endeavors to understand the past on its own terms and in its own context. It is a surprisingly excellent podcast, an excellent addition to growing tapestry of anglophone historical podcasts.

More reviews of History of the Germans
A very witty telling of the people, habits, wars and intrigues that formed not only Germany, but large bits of Europe. Dirk, for those not on FaceBook, please also post pictures etc elsewhere. Thanks and keep going!

What makes a great history podcast? Good, well researched stories, humor, nice voice. Oh, and no irritating personal political comments. Dirk has it all. I am completely addicted to this and about 4 other podcasts for these reasons.
