Necessary, but production isn’t great
The history podcast world is sadly lacking in many, many stories, while grossly over-representing others. That Bulgaria gets its own podcast, from an expert, is a blessing. Like other reviewers have noted, as a listener of the Byzantine History Podcast, it’s also very illuminating to listen to a history in parallel. That said, the audio and narration are sub-par. The podcast sounds unedited: long pauses and repetitions are frequent. Early episodes especially have a lot of echo, or terrible audio balancing (I’ve been deafened more than once when a notification popped up on my phone). The narrator also has the unfortunate habit of talking down about himself and laughing nervously, which is perfectly understandable, but these are very easy things to edit out or cut. The history is excellent, but the presentation gets distracting.

More reviews of The Bulgarian History Podcast
Despite my only connection to or inherent interest in Bulgaria being its interactions with Byzantium and Greece, I've found this podcast captivating. Well-presented and researched. I now appreciate the role of Bulgaria much better.Read full review »

I was born in Bulgaria and left when I was very little - I listen to the podcasts and connect with my “roots” — beats dry stuffy books on Eastern European history - that usually only mention Bulgaria n passing - anyway! Kudos!!
