Popular Reviews of Empire

This is by far one of my favorite podcasts and should be at the top of your listening queue if you have any interest in world history. Dalrymple and Anand are fantastic hosts that combine their in-depth and archaic knowledge of history with their own personal experiences, outstanding use of interviews, and genuine love for the the topic material. I teach World History and am constantly going back to revise my own lectures and presentations based on the information they present.Additionally, one of the things that is often missing from history podcasts is a general sense of joy. History is hard. The topics are hard. The suffering described can be hard. Despite giving each topic the appropriate gravity it may deserve, they both demonstrate a genuine love of the material and respect for each other that makes the listening experience wonderful.
