“This podcast was a big disappointment, I downloaded about ten episodes to listen to at work. I dont know how it has some good reviews.
Firstly, the narrator, he speaks like a 14 year old version of myself, liking history, liking Age of empires 2, but knowing very little 'real' truth and having no broad understanding. The narrator lacks any kind of character, warmth, humor or enthusiasm, truthfully, he makes great history a bore.
Worst of all, his knowledge base is very, very shallow, I sat listening and actually started to get rather irritated. Hageman makes alot of historical rooky mistakes, putting across alot of not quite accurate, shallow pieces of basic information full of common misconceptions and worse, inaccuracies as fact, many of which are matters in conjecture. Most obvious to me, as an ancient history graduate, were the inaccurate and clearly unresearched (except by watching gladiator or scanning wikipedia) statements made.
The script and subjects are chosen apparently at random, 11 unique warriors for example, I expected the most out there and unique units in history, yes Ninjas- good thats a good one. But hoplites, preatorian guards (basically Roman soldiers equipment wise)- they are not the unique units I want to hear about, they're common very widely used units, interesting yes, but not interesting for being unusual, they dont fit the description. He just picked the 1st 11 he thought of, then described them in a few sentences and added not a sausage to my knowledge.
Look elsewhere if you want intellectual and honest history, rather than a bland account that teaches you nothing whatsoever.”

“Full of errors, empty of substance. Most history buffs could do a better job extemporaneously on any of the topics. Before one undertakes a military history podcast; it would be a good idea to learn to pronounce “Antietam” correctly.”
