One of my favorite podcasts ever. I’ve listened through its entirety sever times, and to parts of it 4 or 5 times over. It’s been a huge comfort through the years. Robin presents Byzantine history in such depth and color, all while keeping the narrative fun and compelling. This pod is the reason I’m now obsessed with this time period and this empire
Spectacular!!
Used to be worthwhile but clearly went downhill once £££ became the overriding priority. Ruined by ads and needlessly long breaks between narrative content.
I hope you continue the story under the Ottoman Empire.
This is one of my favorite podcast ever. For so long I have wanted to learn more about the history of Byzantium but could find the time, now I can hear this masterpiece while walking around or even training. I highly recommend it. Thank you to the author!
