So Mike Duncan is compiling and publishing all the transcripts from the History of Rome Podcast in a four-volume set. http://www.revolutionspodcast.com/2016/06/the-history-of-rome-vol-i-the-republic.html
He's also writing "The Storm Before The Storm" about what led to the conditions that allowed Augustus to turn the world's most famous anti-monarchist republic into a monarchy. [spoiler]It's also doing some classic historical writing and trying to place America somewhere along the timeline of Roman history, to see what the possible future might be[/spoiler]

Has he crossed the line into 'actual historian' yet, or at least 'more respected than Dan Carlin'? Also, general hype. For all the errors in the first episodes (which are being corrected in the book) I thought he did a good job of moving at a respectable speed through centuries of history and drawing out some important lessons.
