The Lion and The Sun: A Modern History of Iran - Podcast Rankings and reviews

It's such a digestible way of listening to such fascinating stories on Iran's history. For such dense content it's extremely simple and enjoyable to follow. Looking forward to more episodes!

The history is fascinating, not something I’d have been particularly interested in before stumbling across this podcast. It’s nicely narrated, calm and ad free. Looking forward to more!

I have assigned listening to this excellent podcast to my students for extra credit. Students listen, research and present to classmates. We are learning so much together. Thank you,

I’m enjoying this podcast in learning about the history of Iran. It’s easy to listen to and easy to understand.

It would be great to have a timeline available to go along with the series.

Thank you so much to those behind the podcast. It’s a treasure!

It is extremely hard to follow what the narrator is saying, even when I’m paying close attention. I keep having to repeat what was said. I don’t know what it is, if it’s the mono tonal manner in which it is narrated or the sometimes awkward sentences that seem to like proper punctuation. I had to give up on it even though I really wanted to learn more about this subject. It takes me twice as long to listen because I’m constantly “rewinding” to try and understand what was said. It’s also extremely difficult to understand who the narrator is referring to. Perhaps better editing would help or a speech consultant.

Very interesting, good content but the ai narration is hard to take. Many words are misspoken or wrong tense.
