“I stumbled upon this podcast by accident while preparing for a trip to Corsica. I initially intended just to listen to the episodes on Napoleon's childhood in Corsica, but it immediately sucked me in!
First, I really like the structure of this podcast. Other historical podcasts that I've seen flit around between different topics and eras (15 minutes on a 20th century American figure one week, 15 minutes on a 12th century Japanese figure the next week). I really like that this podcast gives a deep dive, describing the characters, events, and context in detail. Unlike the other deep-dive podcasts I've seen, though, which have multi-hour marathon episodes, this is broken into nice bite-sized pieces for easy listening.
Napoleon is a fascinating figure, living in a fascinating time, and the author does a great job of describing this in a well-paced, narratively interesting way, not just dryly reciting names and dates. Listening to this podcast made me interested in looking for other history podcasts, and I have yet to find one I like as much as The Age of Napoleon. Great work!”Read full review »

“This is really good. The host is smart, level-headed and engaging. He’s great at explaining how international, national, and local developments dovetailed into what became the French Revolution. The material is erudite and accessible.”

“I found this podcast after the host was a guest on Chapo Traphouse and I'm really happy to listen and support it. Episodes are sensibly paced and of a digestible length.
Obviously all history podcasts get compared to Dan Carlin's HH. I think AON compares favorably for its timeliness and sense...”Read full review »
