This is the podcast that introduced me to history podcasts and the one that made me love the genre. This is widely acknowledged to be the first hugely successful podcast and the first podcast to set a bar of standard to compare against all other history podcasts. The sources and materials are presented and discussed. Plenty of relevant details. A good balance between character/event driven narration of history as well as an analysis of the socio-economic forces at play. All of that in a easy to absorb delivery with the right amount of well placed humour.
