You asked for feedback: keep doing what you’re doing, and what seems good to you. You’re a natural. This quickly became one of my favorite podcasts. I’m as pleased when I see there’s a new episode up as when one from Mike Duncan (History of Rome, Revolutions) or a Hardcore History appears.
Most podcasts I listen to while I’m active, working or what have you, but this one I find perfect for winding down after a long day. Quiet time, when u can relax and focus. Thanks for that.

This is a fantastic series. It has given me new understandings of European/Western history. The world is a more explicable place.
