“My wife & I have been hooked on this podcast & listen every opportunity we have. We were concerned as we approached the last episode only to just see a new episode. Oh joy (or whatever a Greek or Roman would say)!”

“Natalie is bright, hilarious and doesn’t dumb it down whilst still making classics available to all.
Natalie, we don’t know each other but you are welcome anytime at my house for a family dinner and chat on the sofa :D”

“I’ve just discovered you(through History Extra podcast), so I’ll have a few days’ worth of listening. But it seems this one has ended last April. I think you’re terrific. I’m about to buy your latest books. Thank you from an ex-classicist and retired professor of Italian studies.
Edited to say,...”Read full review »

“Funny, engaging, intelligent, but riddled with politics and an inability to read ancient literature without superimposing a modern, moralistic, worldview.
Do better.”

“This podcast is my favorite. It’s the one I rationed out episodes and didn’t let myself binge so I could make them last! Natalie and guests take a topic that is full of life but has been sold through most of our educational experiences as fusty, old, arcana and entirely revives it. Every episode...”Read full review »

“A bare faced lie. Entitled “…stands up for classics” it would be good if the show were a genuine look at classics on their own terms. However this is, from start to finish, a relentless deconstruction thorough the lens of feminism. When will BBC commissioners (who are without exception graduates...”Read full review »
