PodcanonPodcanonTom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook bring the past to life, from the fall of Rome to the rise of the Nazis — wit, scholarship and the odd tangent.
The Constantinople two-parter is the best narrative history I have heard all year. Crowley as a guest was inspired — you can feel the walls.
Reliably excellent. Occasionally the tangents run long, but the chemistry carries it. A fixture of my commute.
Rigorous without being dry. The kind of show that sends you to the library afterwards.
