“Audio quality (esp volume) leaves a lot to be desired, but other than that it’s really good! The narrator has a nice voice, and the content is broad, but with enough details when zooming in on specific events. It’s a really good balance.”

“A very colourful telling of the history of Rome. You had me laughing out loud on several occasions with your perfectly placed dry humour as well as totally captivated by your storytelling. You have become the standard from which I’ll be judging history podcasts going forward. 10/10”
