  • Rich in topics and guests

    Although brought to his sphere through his YouTube channel toldinstone for his Ancient Rome material, I can appreciate the different levels of gusts and topics encompassing these episodes. They are all knowledgeable and clear in their delivery, and with such broad topics, you never know what’s coming next

  • A great podcast from the best Roman and Greek antiquities YouTube

    His voice is clear and soothing, his information is presented in an entertaining manner and is confidently authoritative when possible and conditionally modified appropriately when it isn’t. But his book, it’s great! (Interestingly, I bought it before I realized the author was the same guy I was listening and watching on the reg, a lovely discovery)
