great podcast but you have to find a way to get the volume louder. itunes sound boost at 100%, laptop volume 100% and still very quiet.
keep up the good work
Fantastic podcast. Love how thorough it is. Just out of curiosity, are you going to cover the battle of Belgrade 1456?
Thanks for your comment. Belgrade is a possibility. A definite is The Battle of Nicopolis 1396, as part of covering the Ottomans and Balkans. Interested to know why you ask about Belgrade in particular? Carl
The battle of Belgrade didn’t lead to any border changes or shake up of status quo but it stabilized the border of Christian Europe for another 50 years, and showed that Hungary was a solid military force. I feel like it is overlooked a lot of the time. Maybe not worth a whole episode but perhaps a mention? Thanks
