I absolutely love BTB. Such a good podcast, especially the longer series like this one. It’s a bit of a time commitment but well worth it.
I love the podcast as well, but I was getting a bit depressed after hearing all the awful things these people did
Same. Had to take a long break from it after a while. I did discover Mike Duncan's "The History of Rome" though and gobbled that up. Nom nom nom.
I realize this is from months ago, but years ago I listened to the history of Rome while it was being created. After it was done I was still wanting more Rome history and I found 12 Byzantine Rulers. Great show that summarizes the eastern empire well.
Nice one. Though it's months later I appreciate the recommendation. I'll check it out. Thanks. :)
I can see that happening. There’s basically no upper limit to human suffering and depravity. Personally, I’ve got a decent tolerance of anything short of ‘hacking kids to bits with machetes while lighting puppies on fire with a flamethrower.’
It helps that we’re usually decently detached from the things they mention.
I listened only to their Steven Seagal one but I found one of them annoying and disruptive.
Well there’s usually three people on: the host Robert, co-host Sophie and usually a guest who’s unfamiliar with the topic.
So you might’ve disliked the guest or Sophie, who I’m not fond of either to be honest. Still, it’s a nice podcast to pass the time.
