I really appreciate the way you both are able to express disapproval of bad people/actions without putting on the performative outrage most modern history enthusiasts use

Dan Carlin brought me to this podcast and I never left. Best podcast on the net. Greetings from Bosna i Hercegovina.

Russian person here. The way we were taught history in school is that the personal lives of historical figures (and great writers, composers, etc) were never discussed because ‘they have nothing to do with history’. So Alexis was always just this incredibly weak and sorry excuse of a man. It was amazing to learn more about Alexis and that side of Peter. <br>P.S. thank you for injecting humor when discussing gruesome torture and surgical scenes - I couldn’t have lasted through this series otherwise 😅

As you are so keen on a Swedish empire, why not do a series on the Swedish rise to power in the north? Starting with the 30 year war and ending with Charles the XII and maybe a bit more on how his demise affected the years following that shift to parliamentarian power and a more or less nominal crown. :)

I love the confidence with which Tom declares that Russian Dwarf pies were actually quiches.

Bravo chaps, I wasn’t sure how you were going to top the Road to 1066 series but you managed it splendidly.

"Oh how great, something to listen to while I eat.."<br><br>... and then I heard the word 'catheter'.

I love these two chemistry and the wit and storytelling is just so fun to behold, and Dom laughing almost everytime Tom does an intro makes me lose it too😂
