digestible, informative, and impartial
What's so great about this podcast? Well, if you're trying to understand Ancient Rome, you have to wade through a lot of lies and myths and pufferies that Romans wrote about themselves. Mr. Duncan summarizes what happened, why, and uses a lot of anectodes to make the history move along like a story, almost like the summary of a movie. He never talks down to the listener, though.

It's as if your best friend, a good story-teller, knew everything there was to know about Rome and he was telling it to you over a glass of wine after dinner.Read full review »
