“No complaints with the CONTENT. Ryan Stitt's podcast content is every bit as good as Dominic Perry's History of Egypt and Mike Duncan's History of Rome podcasts. I can give no higher praise.
However, Mr. Stitt READS his content in such a bizarre, unnatural cadence that it makes following his thoughts frustrating. I feel like I'm being forced to re-assemble a string of audio sentence fragments back into the very coherent thoughts Stitt has written. I often find myself frustrated to the point I think, "Aaargh, I wish this was a BLOG so I could just read it myself!" I'd also echo other's critiques that Stitt's pronunciation needs substantial improvement. Mispronunciations do tend to undermine a person's claim to authority on a subject.

“Amazed that the ancient Greeks themselves have taken this long to get a podcast of their own. So far, I like this one, as of Ep 7.
Pros:
- Thorough, without bogging down.
Cons:
- Jarring pronunciation. It might just be my own ear, but his way of saying 'burial' drives me nuts. And every...”Read full review »
