Napoleon - Podcast Rankings and reviews

After finishing the Titanic series, which is the best historical podcast I’d heard to date, I wanted to see what else Noiser offered and tried Napoleon. Outstanding. Again, Paul Mcgann is the best in the business. Throughly engaging story lines and immersive audio. As a custodian I listen to dozens of hours of podcasts a week and Noiser produces the most entertaining and educational content for my taste.

This show is truly extraordinary. I have read two books on Napoleon and have watched countless shows about him. This series found the perfect balance to make it fully entertaining and informative but without pointless detail and information overload. Napoleon is quite an enigmatic character and this show shines light on both the warrior dictator and the philosopher statesman. High production value, subtle sound effects and a stirring score, make this particular series stand out.

One of my fave podcasts of all time, along with Titanic. Despite knowing how these stories unfold, the content is fresh and thoughtful. Plus, I could listen to Paul Mcgann read a phone book all day long.

They go into the details of Napoleon that most overlook, such as his relationship with Josephine. They also go through different opinions with a unbiased view, allowing you to make your own opinion on the main question, was Napoleon a “good guy” or a “bad guy?”
