Very enjoyable podcast. It filled in some of the cracks in my knowledge of this period of history in a colorful manner. Perhaps best of all, it is a manageable length as well. Highly recommended.

The first history podcast I ever discovered, and still one of the best. The Norman conquests in the Mediterranean were huge events that impacted much of history, yet rarely get taught or discussed. This podcast covers that intensely entertaining and fascinating period. It's a polished but straightforward production, easy to listen to. Great both for the scholar and the beginning history buff.

Brownworth's second podcast is better than his first, perhaps because of his greater emotional distance from the subject matter. Still, like his first podcast, this one could use more social history and analysis and less soap opera gawking.

I've just discovered this podcast after all the episodes had been released. It was a truly excellent listen, full of fantastic tales of true events.
I've seen some people complain about the time it took for new episodes to be released, but coming late to the party I have no such complaints.
I'll be subscribing to all of Lars' other podcasts!

Not the best audio quality and the oral delivery is pretty bland. But if you want to learn about the Normans, there is not a whole lot else out there.
