Dan is the very best at explaining what is normally fairly dry and boring history. I’m already a big fan of Dan. You can’t go wrong.
This is the best History podcast, and the best podcast full stop, that I’ve ever listened to. Dan Jones brings these historical people and actions to life. I urge anyone listening to become a Patreon subscriber because you get humorous and informative content on a wide variety of subjects from special guests Dan interviews and responds to. It’s absolutely addicting if you enjoy learning, and sharp wit.
Although I have read Dan's book on the Plantagenets, listening on a Podcast you pick up some more details perhaps so explanations of exactly what was been going on have been great. Looking forward to the next series.
Dan Jones and his various producers are great and bring such nuance and sometimes fun to history.
I love this pod it is so interesting the only small con is that if you don’t subscribe you have quite a lot of absences and adverts
I simply can’t afford to pay for this even though I do love it I have to stick to the free
