Reviews
- Great fun and amazing erudition
Dalrymple and Anand have a great double act. Why are history podcasts so male-dominated? Anita Anand is a breath of fresh air. William Dalrymple is a font of information and has a personal anecdote to add to a conversation about almost anywhere.

I chanced upon this and was absolutely floored by the effortless style and unique perspectives with a evenly layered chemistry that could be a podcast in itself. However, then you are served historical events with the level of detail and nuances that in very many ways is like when my great grandmother would tell me stories from her long and well lived life. more

The hosts are delightful, their banter and their guests are always an added bonus. I learn so much from each podcast and tend to listen to each episode more than once in case I missed anything. My library has also expanded as I end up ordering books they suggest or those written by either of the hosts or their guests. A wonderful podcast series; one that I continue recommending to friends and strangers!
