  • Informative and enjoyable

    I very much enjoy the show and look forward to the release of new episodes. The subject matter is well researched and the hosts have a great rapport, which makes sense as they are father and son.

Constantine, Magnus and Diocletian come to mind. That said if you find Roman history, interesting I ... more

The show could be outstanding if it were just one of the dudes talking for each episode. One dude talking to the listener. That is, instead of the goofy back and forth conve... more
