I really love the podcast and am trying to get through the best ones first.
It's slow paced and voices are calm. I find it relaxing, interesting and soothing. There's a huge back catalogue to explore.
I'd put him up there with all of the very best historical/period podcasts - Hardcore History, The Rest Is History, In Our Time, You Must Remember This, Once Upon A Time In The Valley/At Bennington, History On Fire, Martyr Made, Fall of Civilizations, The Rialto Report, We Have Ways Of Making You Talk etc.
