Popular Reviews of Revolutions

An excellent follow on from one of the earliest podcasts, the History of Rome. Revolutions takes it even further and Mike's work keeps getting better

I was a big fan of host Mike Duncan's previous show, The History of Rome, so when this one started up I was in. Duncan makes the history he covers engaging and entertaining, and by providing the breadth of context that he does, he gives a lot of insight into how and why different historical revolutions unfolded the way they did. This, in turn, gives us a lot of context for understanding why things are the way they are in the world we live in now, because if one thing is clear from this show, it's that all of history is connected.

It's Revolutionary!

only listened to the Haitian Revolution series (season?) but i love how engaging it is, and how it avoids the Great Man theory of history while still painting an intimate picture of various pivotal individuals involved

Revolutions may be the best history podcast out there. Mike Duncan is engaging and entertaining. He presents the complex nature of revolutions in an easily digestible way. Highly recommended. I was especially blown away by the Mexican Revolution series.

Mike Duncan's second podcast. Very, Very good.

The gold standard in history podcasting.

Mike Duncan of THoR is back and better than ever. Tracing a series of revolutions, from the English Civil War, to the American Revolution, through France, Haiti, South America, and onward, the history is every bit as well-researched as you expect from Mike Duncan and the delivery has, if anything, gotten even better.

duncan is one of the first, one of the best.....maybe a founder of podcasts

Realy informative but you get a headache if you do too many episodes in a row.

If you are the least bit interested in history, please listen to this podcast.Even if you're not, give it a shot. If you never understood how and why events that happened decades or centuries ago affected you, Revolutions goes deep into both the interesting minutia and human details while painting the grand tapestry of the ideas and groups that still clash every day in the present moment.

Listened to them all. Had tears in my eyes at the end of the last episode. Mike Duncan is not only smart and a great speaker, he has a dry sense of humor that makes you feel as if you know him personally. Bonus: unbiased politics.

This is one show that I became addicted to when I first started listening to podcasts. I love history and Mike delivers these stories with some of the best one liners that I've heard in a minute. You get all the information without the boring.

I just finished the last episode and I am sad to this one go. I have learned so much from this

I almost made it through the first season but I'm an idiot and can't keep track of all of the characters and relationships. It's a good podcast though. Maybe just don't listen to it while doing anything else because you need to focus.

Very careful research, thoughtfully presented.
