Gem!
I stumbled on this via the Sulla collaboration with The Ancients podcast - so glad I did! There’s a few (absolutely brilliant) history pods around that combine entertainment with the history and that’s wonderful. I’m in! However, I find this “history lecture done with charisma” show a brilliant addition to my collection. Wonderful detail, I love the Plutarch angle and format, I enjoy the subjects covered and especially the deep dive you get with the multiple episodes. And, hey, as a Brit I find Alex’s voice/accent like mature honey relaying these erudite episodes which are wonderful company on long walks. Highly recommended!

I love this pod. Not just a wonderful retelling of the greats of the past, but so many relevant learnings and lessons for today

This podcast is a top contender for the title of “#1 History Podcast of All Time”. Alex masterfully explains the Classics with a knowledgeable and balanced perspective. Hopefully the podcast itself becomes classic along with the likes of Mike Duncan’s “History of Rome” and the other greats.

Keep it up Alex. Your podcast is a fantastic source of information of these great periods in history, and as a plus you do a great job in pulling out the lessons we can take from them. Look forward to all the stories in parallel lives :)
