I feel like I’m a little late to the party, but what an interesting podcast! Well-paced, deep insights pulled together from many sources. Highly recommend!

I’m new to podcasts, being mainly a reader, and I stumbled across the Ancient History Hound on IG and just had to subscribe. I’m really glad I did.

The AHH is top notch in both aspects. I look forward to the completion of the ancient Sicily mini series!
