Wish they’d come back!!!

I love this podcast. Very informative and easy to listen to and understand. I highly recommend it. -Ned Barker

Love everything about this podcast. Great content and delivered with a tone that engages the listener. Well researched and as a result lots to learn.

Easy going listening with interesting content. I have been enjoying this so much I haven’t listened to any of my other podcasts!

I love this podcast! Some biography podcasts are hard to hear and ever harder to sit through. Not these! Thank you- makes my commute so much better!

Easy-to-take history - interesting bios of famous folk - likeable host and experts.

I learn so much every episode. Very informative, but it flows like a discussion rather than a lecture. Love that you guys always bring on professionals!

Love the intimate stories of important historical moments and people

These are a great introductions to people from history - always interesting - thanks

Matt Smith is a top-notch podcaster. Like his Emperors of Rome ‘cast, this one compiles the expertise of academics to introduce important historical figures. I especially enjoyed the episodes about Australian figures as they’re not part of the curriculum here in the States. No one will ever confuse the work here with one of those towering David McCullough biographies, but the short and sweet format provides a great base layer of understanding of who these people were and why their legacy perseveres.

Well-researched, but not particular interesting. Some of the subjects were new to me and very fascinating, but it felt like passion was missing from this project overall.

I love biographies and for a while I struggled to find time to read them so I started looking for podcasts. I have subscribed to a few but this is the only one I keep coming back to for a few reasons ....The figures they cover have always fascinated me but I knew little about them. On the other hand the facts presented are biographic and interesting without becoming mundane. The podcast is well presented and I admire the work done by the heads of departments at La Trobe. Each podcast spices my curiosity to dig even more the particular subject. Every biography is well researched and quite a delight to hear. Thank you and I look forward to hear more.

Excellent podcast - love the style and depth of the topics.

Just discovered this one and listened to every episode. Love it and can't wait for more. Great job by the host and always interesting and knowledgeable expert guests.

Taking both well known and not so well known figures in history and presenting their very interesting lives!

Very well done. This podcast is organized, accurate, timely and very insightful. I wish there was more episodes.

This is a great "background podcast". Requires less engagement of the brain than some other history podcasts, but still informative and interesting.

After the first episode on Spartacus I was hooked... Great podcast, keep up the good work.

Love all of these! They do a great job. Nice amount of time! And lots of info!

It’s gotten kind of difficult to sift through all the podcasts available these days and find the really good stuff- but this one is fantastic. It’s a keeper!

These re great. They seem well researched and they're're very entertaining!

Interesting podcast, easy to listen to and eye opening to new characters , you may not have heard of. History can be very interesting.

Great content the only problem is they don't put out episodes more often

@nightlightguy does it again

Magnificent. Every episode is fascinating, and is covered with extraordinary depth and detail. It’s wonderful to learn about less widely known details of history. Great work!

This is a fun podcast that breaks down the biography of historical figures. So far, that have only covered two people but I look forward to many more. Each episode is about 20 minutes and dives into interesting facts and back stories to these historical figures we all know by name. Great format, love to listen and learn. Keep up the great work.

Another slam dunk by Matt Smith. After exploring all of space and time, he's found a home in the podcast world :)

I think this is great and wonderful to listen to. The narrator is soothing and the expert has a wonderful curiosity in her voice.
