  • Outstanding history, entertaining storytelling

    HOF is one of my absolute favorite podcasts! I only wish there were more episodes, because I truly cannot get enough of the way Daniele unravels each story with facts, excitement and references to pop culture that help modern day people understand the past. So glad I found this podcast from a deep dive on Caravaggio. Daniele is the kind of storyteller you’d want to listen to for hours.
