I am a huge fan of THoR and enthusiastically listen to Mr. Duncan’s podcast every week. The reason that his podcast works is the same reason this interview was just as good, he keeps it simple and to the point. Not only that, he stays true to this fascinating period of world history and I can tell just by listening to him that he enjoys doing it just as much as we enjoy listening to it. Thank you Mike Duncan and please continue with THoR for as long as you possibly can. Might I suggest after you’ve covered Romulus Augustulus a podcast called “The History of the Visigoths”? Best of luck and continued success!

I anxiously each installment of the History of Rome. This wa sa great interview I will show my students soon, the comparisons of Rome and US are fun and predictive.

Mostly I was so happy to see someone else say that Pete Rose should be in the Hall of Fame, and I had never thought of Shoeless Joe Jackson that way. Then the steroid opinion really struck me.

So thanks for a good interview.

Followed a link from The History of Rome’s blog. What a great interview! I’ve been following THoR for a couple months now and am absolutely addicted. I completely agree with you– the podcast is compelling and completely sucks you in. Thanks very much!

Excellent interview and I love the idea of comparing Presidents to Emperors! History is one of the subjects kids will actually get on board with you. And because I'm a pedant and thirst for knowledge, I will now go and look up all the baseball reference... arizaphale's last blog post..Inside A Saturday Morning Head
