  • Love the show, but...

    Please lower the volume of the electronic music as you introduce the episode. I love your vocal delivery for the remainder if each ep, but the music level is too high for me in the beginning. I was just at Hadrian's Wall and we listened to a couple of episodes in the car to provide context!

  • Fascinating!

    I’ve heard lots of podcasts about the fall of the Western Roman Empire or the end of the republic, but finally I get a thorough and engaging history of the important time between, the Pax Romana.
