  • Brilliant!

    This podcast is a top contender for the title of “#1 History Podcast of All Time”. Alex masterfully explains the Classics with a knowledgeable and balanced perspective. Hopefully the podcast itself becomes classic along with the likes of Mike Duncan’s “History of Rome” and the other greats.
