Im 47 minutes in and he still hasnt started talking about persians.
This board is obsessed with Persians and Romans.
I stopped listening about 1h 20 minutes in.
He still hasn't started talking about the persians...
Talk about going off on a tanget... And then tangents within tangents. What a snoozefest.
By far his worst podcast (of his 'modern' ones)
Talks a whole lot of shit about nothing for a for a few hours, without any coherent story.
What's the consensus on him anyway? I just finished the ones about WW1 and they were great.

he's very entertaining, but he doesn't give you anywhere near as much insight as reading books by actual historians.
real stuff here

I love how long he makes them. Great for having when working

I like the episodes of Chivalry, Elinor of Aquitaine, The wealth of nations and Frederick the great. If you find an episode of something you're interested in you'll probably like it.

he never talks about anything. he just does his batman voice and makes banal platitudes.
>>785518
Literally any that interest you.
This one was sadly one of the least interesting episodes he has made in a long time. I feel bad for him.
The long winding intro is meant to explain the vacuum into which Cyrus expanded and where his lax policies on religion etc. were appreciated when compared to the assyrians I think.
I really hope it gets better.
Am I the only one who really liked 2 hours of rambling about the politics of the Iron Age Mediterranean?
