These podcasts strike exactly the right balance of interesting content, avoiding unnecessary minutiae and smooth storytelling pace. Each podcast episode is a standalone story. Well done.

Excellent and informative podcast The amount of information and best guess speculation given todate on ancient maritime history which has little historical records is truely amazing I have enjoyed the pictures he has created of these early sea craft and their sailors Hamish Mackenzie Auckland...Read full review »

I came to this podcast seeking information concerning the ship building and navies of medieval times, but was delighted to see multiple episodes on the Phoenicians and Carthage. I’ve learned more about Phoenician culture in a few episodes than I ever did with my cursory web searches. The podcast...Read full review »

Brandon does a great job of making the subject interesting. He has a wonderful voice that I could listen to all day. I have listened to the entire series of podcasts twice. I’m a big fan of history podcasts not so much a fan of Maritime history. But I am beginning to be. Keep them coming!

Weirdly fun.
Maude The Third via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/26/21
Brandon’s years of efforts in producing this wonderful podcast have provided me with immense enjoyment and relaxation these last months. It has taken me 3 months to hear both series and in that time not only have I recognised a new interest in history and particularly as related to maritime...Read full review »

Lovingly put together! Well structured and concise without sounding like a textbook lecture. Pace and language is accessible and detail is clearly well researched.
Skylander5 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/05/20
As a maritime history buff , I have finally found my ideal podcast. Brandon goes into the right amount of detail to be interesting and informative for the informed listener, but puts it into a broader context and explains the fundamentals so the newbie listen can follow along too.

I love this podcast
Lindy99883 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 11/21/20
This is a must listen if you enjoy history podcasts. Often we get bogged down into localized politics, movements and the like. However, these are often adjusted, readjusted and motivated by external changes. These changes come via technology, networking and expansion. In many cases, this is...Read full review »

Very intelligent podcast! High quality production for an independent podcast and very well-researched. Loving it so far!
CharZhao via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 11/16/20
A different look at how maritime commerce war and exploration have shaped our world. A solid companion to Mike Duncan’s the history of Rome or Ryan stits the history of Ancient Greece and more. Well done and I need some new episodes
harold hatefoot via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/11/20
Love this, I travel a lot and this is wonderful to listen to in any setting. Love the sea people’s and Phoenician history. Highly recommend.
phranque13 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/31/20
If you are tired of other history podcasts, give this a try. I like the pace and story telling. I like the topic, no other history podcasts really mention maritime history. I am only on segment 12, but cannot wait time catch up to current episodes.
Phagerty1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/02/20
An excellent podcast, extremely well researched and presented.. always look forward to the next instalment, some truly fascinating maritime history accounts..
thomas melbourne via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/30/20
I found this gem of a podcast about two weeks ago and I've since devoured at least 2/3 of the episodes. It's literally all I am listening to these days. I love travelling back in my imagination to ancient times, especially the Ancient Mediterranean. Brandon “navigates” (cheesy pun...Read full review »

Very informative podcast about maritime history.
Sandkar86 via Apple Podcasts · Netherlands · 06/01/20
One of the top podcasts our family listens too. Brandon gives great details of the naval battles that my grandkids enjoy. Really like the trireme construction episode and hope to hear many more. Thanks Brandon.

Really had me binge really easily, short but serial in the sense (made to be heard from 1 ideally, unless you have the particular educational desire. He sites his sources. Nonfiction,story like with analysis. I love ‘The Discoverers’ too, forgot about it since my teens, thank you for that, the...Read full review »

I found this looking for podcasts that discussed ancient civilizations. This is so well done and I appreciate the podcasters pace, production quality and touch of humor.
Amazing History via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/23/20
Highly recommended. Brandon does an incredible job of finding the balance between depth of detail and moving the narrative along. Very well researched. The show is highly “bingeable”, as Brandon’s voice and the format of the show make for a nice listen.

As a 64 year-old still amazed at technology that allows almost immediate access to information, this podcast helps keep us history fans focused in the technological candy store that replaced yesterday’s card catalogue.
jhbailey1956 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/16/20
I enjoy this podcast both for its history of the sea, but also because it is simoly a good history of the ancient world. We done.

Please continue this podcast. I really enjoy this podcast. It’s a great history lesson worth every minute of my time and attention.
PEEDIZZ via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/11/20
I’m a Naval officer and I was looking to a pod to enhance my knowledge of maritime history from ancient times to modern. Brandon is very thorough while keeping it interesting. He looks at subjects with an attorney’s detailed eye. He’s essentially digesting huge amounts of maritime history and...Read full review »

I love this podcast but I’m starting to miss it. Is it still active?
AtlantisMage via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/30/19
I have always enjoyed ships and is great to see a history podcast focusing on this.
David Poduska via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/28/19
This podcast works so well with other history podcasts to complete the picture. Thank you for your efforts.

I’m a big fan of the show. Finally caught up to the current episode (started at the first)! Keep up the good work Brandon!

Excellently and carefully researched with an engaging delivery.
ArchyAce73 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/11/19
It’s taken quite a while to get to the more interesting bits of maritime history — far too much time is taken on side topics — but overall this is a great exploration of maritime issues. The speech is painfully slow (I comfortably listen to it at 2x speed), but every word, phrase, and sentence is...Read full review »

The narration is understated, and the content appealing - especially for those who value good research and consistency of quality. No ads, no jokes...it’s a carefully scripted series of talks, all around an hour each.
