“Tristan, you always ask for a lovely review on Apple Podcasts, so I’m here to do my best. As an armchair ancient history fan, I listen often and learn a lot.
Here are some of my favorite things:
1. Tristan, I love how you ask questions and then just listen. Thank you for giving guests as much time as they need to talk, even encouraging them to go deeper into detail. It’s very refreshing.
2. The guests are so knowledgeable and authoritative. Most are also sweetly passionate about their specific subject. Even if I’m not so interested in the subject, I like to listen to how enthralled they are by it. I like that positive intellectual energy.
3. The tone of the show is wonderful. There are no outsized personalities or outrage machines. Instead, there is a deep respect for the study of history, for the people who lived in ancient times, and for the listener.
4. Finally, Tristan, when you introduce every show with “I really do hope you enjoy…,” I get the impression that you really, genuinely, in-real-life hope that I enjoy!”
