History of Byzantium Podcast

A year or so ago I discovered the History of Rome podcast by Mike Duncan. It was pretty dang amazing. It starts at the beginning and goes chronologically through history eventually ending at the fall of Roman empire. What made it so compelling was the way it was presented, feeling almost more like a story than a bunch of boring old history. It was also well researched and clearly a work of love, so that helped as well.

However history doesn't end with the fall of the Roman empire, and thankfully Robin Pierson has taken up the story where Mike Duncan left off, continuing the history of the Roman empire after it split. It is great fun for anyone who is a casual history buff like myself. Here's a link where you can find more information.
