“I follow quite a few history podcasts and have always been interested in Greek history & literature. This podcast is a beautiful mix of the retelling of the full story of the Trojan War (not just the Iliad) in easy to understand language while also providing the historical context of the...”Read full review »

“Hi Jeff,
I’m up to episode 8 of your podcast, after just completing Stephen Fry’s version of Troy.
I can’t get enough of this story and all it’s insights on human behaviour.
I love your take on it and the language you use to bridge the gap of thousands of years to our current life time.
I...”Read full review »

“My boyfriend recommended your podcast on the Trojan War to me back in October 2023, and I've been engrossed in the world of Greek mythology ever since. I was always interested in learning more about their culture and all of the different myths, but I had no idea where to start. These podcasts...”Read full review »

“I greatly enjoyed this podcast, Jeff brings the story of the Trojan War in detail, telling the backstory of all key characters and delivery engaging non-stop. I was particularly inclined with Jeff’s perspective on the change of the Bronze to the Iron Age. Indeed history’s most awesome epic!”

“Jeff is by far the best, most captivating storyteller I’ve encountered. Having listened to both the Trojan War and Odyssey podcasts, that’s about 50 hours of podcast and it ended too soon! I sneakily played just part of one episode for my dad while we were driving, and in a moment of silence in...”Read full review »

“I was not interested in Greek mythology or the Trojan war when I began listening. My daughter was playing the podcast on a recent visit and it was the fun, witty telling of the story by Jeff Wright that sucked me in. I love this Podcast. I would say it has renewed my interest in Greek mythology -...”Read full review »

“Jeff Wright the storyteller really brings the story of the Iliad to life. It’s witty and engaging, but at same time I felt it was respectful to the source material. One of best historical podcasts I have come across also does the Odyssey which is equally brilliant.”

“I found Jeff's podcast mucking through Quora. I began to listen every night after dinner and the dishes put away. You don't have to be a kid to be told a story. He really brings this to life and his 21st century expressions sprinkled in, don't detract from the tale, they enhance it....”Read full review »

“A highly entertaining, detailed, and compelling rendition of the story, particularly for those who are new to the epic and its surrounding mythos.

“One of the best podcasts about the whole War, before and after as well! It’s a “dramatic” retelling of the story so if you are put off about that stuff it may not be your preferred choice but I say give it a chance nonetheless! The narrator you can tell is very passionate about what he is saying...”Read full review »
