Thoroughly Enjoyed
I am so happy to have found this podcast. The podcaster Damon is not only good at finding interesting content but I also appreciated his delivery. He had the perfect amount of humor and was down to earth. He was also very kind if I ever emailed with a question.
Being a Patreon member was beneficial because I enjoyed being able to read the transcripts and getting extra episodes.
Originally, I came across this podcast searching for resources for a Russia unit I was teaching my kids. Unfortunately, we had to wrap up the Russia unit before Damon finished the chronology but I will definitely keep checking back in every time episode comes up. I highly recommend subscribing! You will learn a lot and be entertained!

Excellent well paced and informative
Brilliant podcast - I came across the podcast by accident searching for something else but as I knew nothing about Russia’s history so decided to give it a try out.
Well I am now 38 episodes in and hooked, now listening to an episode or two a day to catch up. Damon’s delivery is perfect with the information formation laid out like a banquet , Keep up the good work
Awesome history podcast!

Amazing
One of the greatest history podcasts around. Does an amazing job presenting the essential of the often entangled and confusing history of the russian people. I wish my history teachers would have treated the subject with the same passion and attention to detail as you do. Great job!
Presentation is brilliant!
I have been listening several times a week as I need to catch up ! Such an informative podcast and to collate it all an absolute masterpiece !
Russia or Moscow?
Excellent work! Don’t get wrong, it is monumental work to capture twelve centuries. Plus, the British tongue makes it enjoyable to follow all these episodes.
However, this is official Muscovites narrative. We’ve reached a point where a clear distinction ought to be made between “Russia” and Moscow. For past thee hundred years it has been cultural appropriation by Moscow to claim the exclusive rights for all Russians. It’s time to recognize and appreciate the rights of other eastern Slavs. At the same time, we should call Moscovites by their name. The Ukrainians and Poles still use the old
term “Moskal”.
By the same token, let’s talk about the Ruthenians
history. King Danilo? Their rights to be called Russians.

Great History - Great Narration - Timely
Recently found this podcast, started at the beginning and am almost caught up! Very easy to listen to, good humor, and in view of current events - really essential listening. Found this podcast after a mench from Mike Duncan during his Revolutions (Russian Revolution series) and glad I did! Thanks for your hard work.
