“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 »

“It's unreal how much of an impact Napoleon had on the history of Europe and European colonies. Having only the most cursory knowledge of napoleon's story seems this seems like a disservice to history the more this podcast fleshes him out. While still an early podcast this is very...”Read full review »
