The Partial Historians - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Discovering this podcast has made routine tasks some of the most appealing parts of my day, because I get to listen to another installment of Roman history as told by Drs. Rad and G. They take the accounts of different ancient historians and bring them to life in such a fun way. It’s a combination of learning (quite a lot) about Roman history and just hearing and enjoying some rollicking good tales. The seem effortlessly knowledgeable and not too worried about being taken seriously to have some fun. Love it!

Doctors Rad and G are consistently clear about who's telling the story, and observing patterns in that story. The side episodes are great, and I'd highly recommend this after going through the breezy summary that is the History of Rome podcast, because the details here are rich, and they're having fun with it.

For all fans of the Roman Republic, this is by far the most detailed and entertaining way to get all the facts and gossip. Following both Livy and Dio and their own expertise, Dr. Rad and Dr. G tell the WHOLE story, year by year. All the people, all the places, with big doses of humor, to boot! I am so very thankful to them both. Buy each of them a cup of coffee a month, via Patreon, and get ready for a forum of thrills and chills!🎧🆙🆒👏🙏❤️

I’m a PhD candidate in Roman archaeology, and these women are fantastic and witty. Absolutely love this podcast and heartily recommend it to my undergraduate students.
