While I liked the ambitious range of topics explored, I did not enjoy the delivery. Too much time was taken up in side-bars and imagined hypotheticals which made the narrative feel choppy.
Thank you for a thorough podcast, just what I was looking for - thank you
The description of the podcast says it will cover from the fall of Constantinople through the Greco Turkish War in 1923
However they start much earlier and go over many of the major players (mostly) during the Byzantine or Eastern Roman period
Fortunately they deliver an interesting and well prepared podcast very well and should be humming along for awhile since they’re up to the second crusade as of mid April 2024
This podcast is a gem. They do a great job of identifying the underlying issues that influenced historical figures and put historical events into context. Their passion for learning and good storytelling comes through in every episode. I highly recommend it!
