Listener Reviews

"If you want to enter into a comprehensive, brilliantly presented history of global ancient history, Scott's lectures bring you back across thousands of miles and thousands of years. Awesome and fascinating." - Enkidu1988

"Superbly entertaining, hilariously dry, wonderfully researched. I have never enjoyed history more." - davidlinn

"Not enough superlatives to describe this podcast - every sentence is a gem packed with information and interest." - Podsforever

"Scott is a brilliant podcaster and storyteller. For many years he crafted and generously shared his insights; often quoting and crediting his sources he points the way to find out more. Each episode is artful, rich in content and is a high quality professional production. With enough episodes in each section to give context to the story our understanding is enhanced. Written and narrated so ancient history comes to life!" - rohair
