Direct and detailed. Thank you
I thoroughly enjoy this podcast. It’s exactly the scope I was looking for that includes sociology with political history. I like that he identifies the inflection points that result in significant culture changes. It’s a rich story that he tells. For example, I would have never read Caesars Gallic Wars. Gary walks through Caesar’s account in detail, with the necessary fact checks, and even pronounces Vergincentorix for me! I would like to hear more about the daily life of the everyday person. For example, what is lost and what is gained by the average Jean-Luke as the Roman influence wains and the new political order takes hold. But what sets this podcast apart are the interviews that punctuate the narrative with vivid color. Everyone should have a Dr. Taylor Marrow in their life. These podcasts are the new history textbooks. Imagine if your teacher assigned an episode for home work each night then discussed all the details in class. It’s a powerful way to learn. Chip in $5 every month. It’s worth it. I throw in $10. Thank you for the hard work.

I lost interest after 20 or so episodes … not sure why but I could not be drawned back in … it would put me to sleep while driving, as many podcasts do - and I did not fancy the special editions so I decided to bail … Richard de la Blasienne

Unironic use of the term “cis” when discussing Joan of arc. We cannot support this kind of language.

I have been listening for a while and will continue to do so. The core history episodes are as good as any other podcast, but the more thematic episode are especially value-added. I enjoyed the recent series on the Norman kingdoms in Sicily, Southern Italy, and elsewhere in the Mediterranean....Read full review »
