“It honestly took me far too long to get into this show. I have been a long time listener of Mike Duncan and for some reason never gave the History of Byzantium a shot until about a year ago. It is well worth the listen.
Robin Pierson has stayed true to Mike Duncan’s THoR style, but added some new elements that I’ve really enjoyed and I think even improves on THoR. He often will dive deep into certain events (I found the episode on the plague / Yersinia pestis incredibly fascinating), answer a TON of questions from listeners, and break up the narrative to focus on some particularly interesting individuals.
Only criticism that I can think of is that the first ten or so episodes were tough to follow along easily (but I find this true for almost all new history podcasters). After that, Robin hits his stride. Easy 5/5 podcast.”
