Everywhere around us are echoes of the past. Those echoes define the boundaries of states and countries, how we pray and how we fight. They determine what money we spend and how we earn it at work, what language we speak and how we raise our children. From Wondery, host Patrick Wyman, PhD (“Fall Of Rome”) helps us understand our world and how it got to be the way it is.
I love a good historical podcast and this is one of my favourites! I love the narrative form where they explain the big picture of certain events in history with cause and effect. The ads are just something I take with it in order to enjoy it for free.
Great show

I stumbled upon this jewel after Mike Duncan’s recommendation
I like the narrative structure and the sound design of the show and am more than happy to endure the ads in order to get this quality show for free.
The content is thoroughly researched by a clearly knowledgeable guy passionate about his topic(s).
I went through all the episodes (and those of Fall of Rome by the same narrator) in three weeks ...
Keep up the good work!

Very mixed feelings about this one. I think the goal of presenting these parts of history is highly admirable. The presentation is too slick and more "Dan Snow" than I like. But the random and unannounced inserts of advertising make this simply impossible to listen to, alas.
