I’ve been listening to the podcast for the past six months or so. I have immensely enjoyed it and reminds me of my lectures from university. The professorial panel of Charles and Alex is exceptional and brings critical insights as the episodes navigate the period three months at a time.
The guest appearances and deep dives are also interesting and well worth the ‘narrative’ pause. Without these, we wouldn’t get to understand the world of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
Thank you so m... more
I have a deep fascination with the Napoleonic period and this show does an outstanding job of breaking down the period and its people and events in often highly granular detail. To a person the hosts are engaging and thoughtful, and the guests captivating and informative. Thanks for doing a great job educating people about this amazing corner of history!
I have been a keen listener for a couple of years now. The format means that there is plenty of material to go and continue to look forward to listening.
Found this podcast in 2023. Finally caught up listening to all the episodes today. Alex Stevenson has done a masterful job lining up experts from all over the world to present. As an anglophone, this variety gives perspectives often overlooked from a purely English speaking perspective. No doubt his professorial panel (Charles and Alex M) are a strong help in this. Well done!
