Thirded this recommendation. I'm ploughing through the 5th of (so far) 10 series - the Spanish American revolution - and every single one has thus far been fascinating. I cannot wait to then circle back around to his History of Rome podcast, which from reviews looks to be held in high regard.

I recently had the pleasure of being in the Naval Museum in Cartagena. When the tour guide got to the section of the museum featuring Vernon's attempted takeover of the city, I was ecstatic. I was like, "I know about this! George Washington's brother fought in that battle!" Thanks to Mike I can be THAT guy on history tours now lol.

You are in for a treat. I've listened to the History of Rome several times, and it's fascinating each time. Enjoy!

Agree, it's a slog for the fist couple dozen episodes as Mike gets into his groove but it's really great and I look forward to listening again once he wraps up Revolutions.

By the time he gets to "the long national nightmare known as Hannibal", it's pretty good!
