Amazing!
Can’t say enough good things about this podcast. The best! Deep and wide, impeccably researched, VERY well-told and immensely entertaining. Sober and comedic at the same time. Don’t skip the songs - some of them, such as the epic rap battle between Greek luminaries, are brilliant literature (the lyrics, that is) in their own right, and hilarious. If you’re interested in the history of western literature, or in theology, philosophy, music theory, cultural development or any of a number of other related humanities topics, this is your podcast. University degrees should be handed out to anyone who listens to the whole thing and passes the accompanying quizzes.
