This podcast cover not only the Napoleonic wars but ranges to cultural topics at the time and even US history too. I highly recommend this for the history fan out there.

Awesome episode on the rebellion of the enslaved in Cape Colony in 1808. 👍

Great podcast.

I really enjoy this show and hope it continues to grow. I particularly like how you give a platform for academics and experts in various aspects of the 18th century. I especially appreciate how you put the perspective of ordinary people front and center. I was wondering if you guys would ever consider doing an episode about how military veterans were perceived in 18th century society. I was curious about this because I think it could shed light on a group that doesn’t always get into the wider history of the era. I also want to learn about this because I had an ancestor whose militia records describe a person with a very pronounced facial wound that I speculate may have occurred in battle but I can’t be certain. Basically he lost half his nose. I was wondering how someone with very visible scar or even a disability from military service would be treated in the wider society at the time.

Always interesting!

Came for the Napoleonic era content but love the occasional nod to the American Revolution

Luke and the other guy are amazing hosts. With each topic and each guest, they tell a compelling narrative that teaches as well as entertains. The listener is left knowing more than they did at the outset, while also having the opportunity to go further down a given historic rabbit hole if they so choose. The hosts’ banter is full of wit, wisdom, and a touch of whimsey, which brings you back for more. Bravo!

Zack’s passion for the subject, along with his wit, sarcasm, and vocal disdain for Ridley Scott’s Napoleon film permeates his episodes and presents the era in a deeply fascinating, entertaining, and easily digestible manner. His guests are amazing and makes me wish I followed my childhood passion for history into adulthood.

Outstanding podcast, really great information and discussion. Broad variety of topics and they get quite deep into them. Sometimes fascinating topics you’d not expect. Great for the Napoleonic maven or the casual listener. That said, the host requested reviews, saying that if every listener were to leave five stars, this would be one of the top podcasts or perhaps *the* top podcast in Europe. Europe? I’m sorry but the host is British, the podcast is in English, and BRITAIN SAW NAPOLEON OFF, THANK YOU VERY MUCH! WATERLOO, 1815, HAVEN’T HEARD FROM HIM SINCE!

If you are even casually interested in the Napoleonic era, you owe it to yourself to listen to this podcast. It goes deep on any and every issue you can think of regardless of how esoteric, and manages to avoid coming off as dry, stodgy, or pompous while it does so. Dr White and his expanding team of hosts do an excellent job of wringing as much information as possible from their guests as humanly possible, while also having quite a good bit of fun. I would rate this show 6 stars if I could!

If you want an informative podcast about the Napoleonic era this can be one resource. They handle the information like proper historians. However the pacing is slow with many episodes of dead air. For example the Simon Bolivar episode could have been better edited or presented with a little more energy.

As a massive fan of this period I was nervous about podcasts as many are very weak and amateur. This is a tour d’force. The guest go deep into the subject matter but in an approachable way. I already have quite a knowledge base but I found much more of interest than I imagined. Some topics areas i was not interested in until I heard about them on some of the podcast.

Great podcast with frequent special guest provides wide scope of napoleonic era!! Highly recommended!

A must for fan of the period, and highly recommended for anyone interested in history.

Ensure you follow the right feed to keep up the necessities of these stories being told!

This always has interesting information and it focuses on a pivotal period in Western history. The host really does the topic justice.

This is the premier podcast on Napoleon! Great podcast and learning about one of the most interesting and complex figures and eras ever.

This Pod is worth saving!!

Easily my favorite podcast about this era in history, great guests, expert in the field

These episodes are always scholarly but approachable, with an informality which works. Smart and educated people who can just talk to each other.

This is a fantastic listen and I’m here to help. The Napoleonic Avengers unite. Please keep going with this show as it has brought much joy to my life. Thank u for all the hard work you all put into it.

Great to hear from a variety of guests who love to discuss everything Napoleonic. Each week be surprised with a discussion that will broaden your understanding of the lives and times of this fascinating era.

I’ve been listening over the course of two years, and it’s been one of my favorite podcasts ever, especially relating to the Napoleonic wars. Zack’s podcast has such an incredible breadth of topics and guests that it’s always a treat to see who will be on next, and I love how varied the show is- it’s not the same topic over and over, but he and his guests have genuine, thoughtful conversations and riveting topics that are fun to listen and learn about. If you haven’t already subscribed, you absolutely should! Thank you Zack!

Absolutely brilliant show detailing a wide range of aspects about the period (roughly 1789-1815). Knowledgeable and enthusiastic host and expert guests. Well worth listening!

A great well rounded podcast about Napoleon and all that that encompasses. Has excellent host with great knowledge who brings in interesting guests to speak on a ton of topics. Subscribe and enjoy…

Great show! Learned a lot!

One of the best for history buffs and the Napoleonic era

Very interesting and enjoyable. Thank you.

This is an absorbing and informative podcast for those interested in history in general and Napoleonic history in particular. Enjoyable and entertaining. Highly recommended.

Great show for history nerds. Very in depth and the topics are usually very interesting. I could do a bit without the extended banter at the beginning (though I am sure some consider it part of the charm), but a fantastic listen.

I always enjoying learning so much from Zack and his guests!

Always a deep dive into all things Napoleonic, always informative and entertaining. Great job by Zack and Co.

I can assure Mr. Jones that the host is maybe the most gentlemanly man I have ever met. He cautions against the “jump on and cheer Napoleon bandwagon gang,” but does so with a wink. Zack and I are close; I am from the US and nothing he has ever said do I find insulting to America or the Army in which I taught officers for two decades. Perhaps one might pose him questions and test his mettle before slamming him on this forum.

I am in what the host calls the middle ground on Napoleon. I was surprised when the very first thing the host did was put down the people who love Napoleon. Ok, maybe the host has a personal issue there. Then the host, who is not from the US, insulted my country. I’m a refugee to the US from a prison state, and you can just take your anti-Americanism and you know what you can do with it. Still kept listening for a while though all credibility evaporated. Interesting material, nothing special presentation. Tuning out because I believe the host himself is way too emotional, and probably cannot be trusted not to spin the past to his liking.

I heard Zack speak at the Chalke Valley History Festival where he delivered a tour de force 50 minute talk on the Peninsular War. He was so entertaining and informative. This carries through on the podcast with a rich panoply of topics. If you like We Have Ways of Making You Talk, this podcast is for you.

Zack's voice and humor are ever-so entertaining. I really enjoy the history of this podcast and learning some insights during each episode. The Napoleonic era has always intrigued me and this show is interesting and I always walk away with some knew knowlege.

This podcast has come across the pond and examines the Napoleonic period with the proper nuance and finesse of a true British historian. The start of the 19th century was marked with hostility between France and England. The host humorously apologizes for boring the listener with phenomenal detail, yet clearly honors that these are not casual listeners. No apologies needed. Those who dive into this subject are choosing to transport their minds into a gruesome battle and less civilized time. As with most historical events, one must sit with the discomfort for any chance to learn from it.

Excellent podcast that covers a dizzying array of nearly all things of the Napoleonic era. A must for any enthusiast of the time period.

Great show, very informative and I enjoy the variety of guests.

Dr. Zack White is a rising talent in the field of Napoleonic history and provides his listeners with new content with other premiere Napoleonic historians in our time. This podcast is well worth adding to your list of favorites if you are at all interested in the period. 5 out of 5🤩s hands down.

Been a fan since the first episode it’s my go too Napoleonic podcast! Also highly recommend following Zack on Twitter!

Love the podcast!

Very accessible and entertaining, while maintaining a very high standard of historical rigor.

Fantastic

This podcast is excellent! It’s hosted by an actual historian and is presented in an engaging and enjoyable manner. You’ll get a great look into aspects of the Napoleonic period other podcasts simply don’t cover.

Awesome podcast in breadth and scope. Only one thing,, a lot of episodes are hard to hear on my iPhone or thru headphones even at full volume. I had to unsubscribe,sadly,since I can’t hear half the episodes.
