“This is a great podcast that gets better with time. My only complaint is that it has male, elite, religious, and military biases. I would like to hear more about the history of our modern/Arabic numeral system and maths in the ancient worlds, the lives of rural women and girls, how ancient...”Read full review »

“My first podcast was “S-Town” a well-done show. I am thrilled that the podcast world has matured and grown to provide programming like this show. Everything about it is excellent-from the subject matter, to the research, the guests, and the presenter.
I’m enjoying the Old Testament series which...”Read full review »

“Self-Centred, socially oblivious, colonial pieces of garbage. You will not learn history here. You will learn about archaic British Colonial interests and propaganda. There are better places for you to learn history. You have been warned!”

“Highly dependent on the speakers. Some brilliant communicators others not. The parthians was a difficult one to listen to it’s all over the place. When they talk as though we are beginners without possessing an academic education on ancient history it makes it much more engaging. Otherwise it’s...”Read full review »

“The presenter dude says ‘It’s the ancients’ near the start. I’ve never heard anyone else say ‘It’s the ancients’ like that.
It’s ok if you like old stuff but it doesn’t cover much modern stuff.”

“In general, a great show. It should have been called European Ancients. If there’s another show about Troy, Rome, or Boudica I’m ready to puke. Yes there were a few episodes on the steppe people, Neanderthals, and Bactria
The scope is very limited. Weren’t there ancients in the recorded...”Read full review »

“Great topics, informed commentary, but a very PC, anachronistic tone. Describing the average Roman as “homophobic,“ as a scholar on the most recent episode does, is to use a descriptor and category that would have baffled the ancients.”

“I love this podcast and can’t listen enough. Luckily there is a huge backlog of episodes. The quality of the interviews with eminent academics and the topics chosen are perfect for ancient history nerds. Persians, the Neolithic, history of the bible, classical Greece and Rome. Keep up the good work!”
