Production quality not up to par
History buffs looking for an excruciatingly detailed telling of the Roman Empire may be satisfied with this show. Lots of research was done for sure. Unfortunately, the quality of the actual show is lacking when compared to presentations made by contemporaries. Noizer has a fantastic podcast about Napoleon. The narration is professionally recorded with a talented performer. Music and sound effects are used to bolster the information and the occasional expert interview is woven in for additional context and balance. This podcast pales in comparison. It sounds like a graduate student reading from their notes preparing for a doctorate thesis presentation. Stiff readings that are poorly recorded. You can hear the script. The vocal quality is sibilant and thin. I can here the reflections of the room it was recorded in. Obviously not a professional recording studio. Podcasts have really matured in the last 10 years. Unfortunately this one sounds like it was made 11 years ago.

Ton of great content. Stick with it...Patrick gets the sound quality right by the third episode.

Incredibly insightful and easily accessible look into a period of time typically condensed into a few small paragraphs in any high school text book. Great stuff Pat! Keep it up!

Excellent content. You can tell the podcaster really enjoys his work and this time period. Well worth a subscription.
