Great podcast, excellent guests.
Really enjoying this - great guests & variety of all things Napoleonic. Going through back catalogue. I like the shows on individuals like Murat, Ney etc but also others that I would like to know more about such as Lannes. A great find.
Podcast hosted by a History teacher with a friendly and soothing voice, with well researched episodes and biopics, including special guest experts.
Highly recommended!
I have listened to this show for a No of years now and have been impressed with its gradual maturity into a really informative and considered show.
Well done John.

The show offers in-depth explorations of Napoleonic history through expert interviews, battlefield analyses, and leadership discussions. Episodes frequently center on key figures, campaigns, logistics, and the broader political-military context, with guests ranging from university researchers to noted historians and authors. The format blends detailed historical explanation with accessible storytelling, and occasional sponsor integrations or book promotions add texture without sacrificing depth. A standout aspect is the sustained focus on individual actors and less-covered episodes, providing a human-facing lens on a vast era that often gets summarized by famous names alone.
