the king of the beach
12 Byzantine Rulers

As someone who knew almost nothing about them before listening to the podcast, it seems to offer a pretty decent account of their rise from the ashes of the Roman Empire through their fall that I found pretty informative.

Does Carlin’s podcast get better? I started listening to the first of his Roman Republic episode and between the 1 minute opening and the 5 minutes talk about ambition I got bored. I’ll give him a chance, but I certainly hope the rest of the episode is about actual history (yeah, I guess Roman families were ambitious, but he sounded so over the top that it got annoying)

I dunno, I don't think you gave it much of a chance. 5 minutes of a many hours long story isn't much. Try skipping ahead I guess? If you want like right to the point, bulletpoints, he probably isn't for you.
