Literature, History, and Philosophy in One Quality Podcast Package
This podcast has quickly become one of my favorites! Mr. Metzger does a marvelous job of melding literature, history, and philosophy into an enjoyable episode each and every time. Add to that his musical talents and you get a podcast that has very few equals. The production value is amazing, which makes this easy to listen to and allows you to focus on the content itself, literature and history. The podcast has already covered a broad array of ancient sources, including engrossing trilogies for both the Iliad and the Odyssey. I’d highly recommend this podcast if you want an engaging summary of ancient literature that you have never read, but I offer fair warning that Mr. Metzger’s well-written and produced summaries will make you want to read the originals for yourself! And even if you’re familiar with the covered literature, his witty and knowledgable treatment of the material and its historical and philosophical context may shine a new light on things for you. In any event, you owe it to yourself to hit that subscribe button!

That alone would make it one of the best history or literature podcasts out there, but we also get excellent (self-composed?) incidental music, a great podcasting voice, and to top it all,...Read full review »

I've long been shamefully ignorant about "classical literature", always considering it to be a bit dull and dry. Well, I was wrong, it's not. Doug Metzger makes a fantastic job of bringing the tales of antiquity to life and relating them to the world in which they were created....Read full review »
