“My favorite podcast ever. I love Roman Emperors and there stories.Mice Duncan’s history of Rome is good, but it doesn’t go into detail on the emperors life’s, it also doesn’t cover the byzantines. You guys are also so funny. Thank you for doing this podcast.
I also think you should the Ottoman...”Read full review »

“Recently discovered this very informative, accessible and humorous podcast. As an American puts me in the mind of Roman History considered by a couple of The Beatles.”

“I found out about this podcast on Reddit and it’s now probably the most frequent activity in our household. The history keeps me listening and the ridiculous humor keeps me coming back. My only beef is Elegabalus should have gotten Je Ne Caesar.”

“I have been listening to this for the last two years and it has sparked such an interest in ancient history. The hosts are funny and silly at times, but so much information in every episode without being boring!”

“Guys are hilarious, every episode makes me laugh out loud at least once. I wish I had two teachers who liked history and entertaining as much as these two. Finished all of the American presidents series and the first 10 emperors, I’m loving it! Keep it up.”

“I was so happy to see the Roman Series come back after all the Eastern emperors were ranked. The approach combining history with humor, with understated real-time context, helps this American listener cope with our current troubles. I love the Presidents series too, and the patreon content is...”Read full review »

“Love listening to Rob and Jamie they keep me company working from home.
I have a passing interest in Roman history but had no idea there were quite so many emperors!
We visited Rome and Pompeii some years ago and I wish I could go back again post listening to this Pod.
Great work.”

Properly researched and structured, with side commentary on each that brings life and personality to characters of the episodes, from the dynasties themselves, to the ordinary Roman legionary. I’ve listening to them on long runs as I...”Read full review »

Jeff and Roger need at least one more friend, perhaps a monkey for royals sent to monasteries or nunneries, and an official eye-taker for Byzantine blindings. (I’m not too...”Read full review »

My absolute favorite thing is...”Read full review »
