Listener Reviews

Hello, Just started listening to this podcast:

-I love your sound effects, you got a nice voice.

- You got a natural sense of humour. I am on the 14th episode, enjoying every bit.

Even though you are slightly bias for Britain. I want to point out in episode 13: you state that it is unrealistic for Suetonius to have only lost 415 men in the fight against Boudicca and her rabble.

I argue that this is not an insanely low, it is actually within the number of causalities for an army of antiquity in VICTORY. The reason being is that most men do not die in actual battle, the die (vast, vast majority) on the route. When one side breaks is where the slaughter takes over.

We can compare this low number to Alexander the great who also had few casualties spanking the persians. Also we can compare the number with Nikephoras conquest on the Arabs and many others.

But besides that. I find that I agree with you in 95% of your "guesses" when sources are lacking.

You show good promise in reading between the lines and coming up with your own conclusions. One example is your analysis on Boudicca and whether she was a leader or a figure head.

Anyways I cant wait to get caught up in the series. I am also a big fan of the Byzantium podcast and you are almost on the same timeline as he is. Keep up the good work, Reda

One of the most comprehensive British history podcast out there. Well-researched yet unpretentious, this is the cream of the crop. If you like history, you have to listen to this podcast.

Great podcast, massive detail and thorough research. So much work goes in I'm in awe.

Also curious about what happened to the Decode the News podcast with Zee. It was great for a few episodes, very helpful in putting all that crazy stuff into context, then stopped without any explanation I can find.

Great podcast, not only delves deep into the roots and causes of events in history but also brings to life the characters and tales that are missed in history classes

Very informative but entertaining as well! I have been listening for little over a year. Reminds me of a history teacher I had in 6th or 7th grade. An old guy that truly loved history. And knew things most didn't.

In advance of a trip to England I came across this podcast. I was going to be driving around to a few ancient sites and I wanted to more deeply understand what was going on at the time. I have barely scratched the surface of this resource, but it is damn entertaining! Thank you, Jamie, for your years-long commitment to this, and for making commuting and chores so much more enjoyable.

I love this podcast. It’s witty, very well researched and presented. I like how Jamie presents differing arguments or theories and supports each one with the evidence. And just when you are feeling overwhelmed by all the craziness of the Roman era he sums up what he just said and gives you that “ah-ha” moment.

I have a BA in History and I love the depth of this show! Plus I laughed out loud at the gym when then Goths cane and he played the Smiths and Depeche Mode. Awesome!
