“If you’ve ever wished your history was served up by a Canadian hipster sporting a slightly effeminate vocal fry, well wait no longer!
According to the (presumably hand-picked) reviews on his site, at least one listener adores his voice.
I am not among that crowd. But such things are personal tastes, I suppose.
What I will say is that the author of this podcast writes well, and presents the material in a very engaging way.
And the subject matter — medieval travellers in a surprisingly interconnected world — is fascinating.
The only comment to new listeners of history podcasts is that he makes a lot of name-drop sort of references that many people won’t get. If you have a general sense of medieval history already then that’s all for the better (and I like the style actually), but if this is your first foray into history, prepare to get a little lost. But that just means you have more to learn about.
So would I recommend this podcast to a friend? Yes, yes I would. Vocal fry and all.”
