“This is definitely not a bad podcast, and it offers a good combined narrative of both the Latin and Byzantine perspectives (The History of the Crusades focuses on the Latin and Islamic perspectives, while the History of Byzantium’s coverage naturally focuses on the Byzantine perspective), but...”Read full review »

“Nick Holmes delivers an amazing story of the history of the crusades all the way to the fall of Constantinople in 1453. The pacing is great and he provides a perfect amount of detail along the way. I particularly enjoyed learning about the Seljuk Turks. Overall a great historical podcast”

“I gave 5 stars. I’m a massive fan of Robin Pierson’s History of Byzantium podcast and I don’t think anyone can beat his Byzantium podcast content, but this one comes close. Or rather, they're a different enough style that they wonderfully compliment each other. I really enjoy both of them.

“As far as I can tell, it’s not possible to change the settings to play the episodes from oldest to newest, at least using Apple podcasts. That makes this podcast absolutely useless as far as I’m concerned.”

“Essential as an introduction to the formation of the western world as we know now.
Should be taught in schools more often.”

“I’m astounded at how many positive reviews have been given to slanted propaganda Crusader hit piece. Do two minutes of research and you’ll plainly see that Runcimen’s two books are regarded by all(but Holmes) as extremely bias towards the Catholic Crusaders. You can audibly hear how it pains...”Read full review »

“Nick helpfully summaries the events, which makes it very listenable. Far easier to follow than other podcasts which go into more detail and require more of a commitment to listen.”

“I enjoy the podcast very much and I’m giving it five stars but if I were to make one request, it would be that he slows down when reading from the adapted text, as he sometimes accelerates during the exciting parts and I personally need a few more pauses or slower cadence to digest what I have...”Read full review »

“Absolutely fascinating. I listened all day long...episode after episode. I just needed to know what happened next! Quite randomly, as is my wont, I decided I had to find out a little bit more about this period of history. I feel I was pretty lucky to come across this podcast first.”

“This is an extremely detailed and well-balanced account. Am binge listeing to this. Learning a great many things and understanding nuances which are lost in other writings on the subject, which tend to be regurgitations of previous authors' works. This is such a refreshing listen.”Read full review »
