How Good Is It?

Even after listening to the complete podcast I find myself going back and replaying many of the episodes. Why? Because through Duncan Rome lives again! His podcast “Rules Supreme”

The History of Rome

“The Author makes the unintelligible, explicable. A ship to board through turbulent seas. “

The sound player does not work

The content is very good but the app is just a cheap webpage and the sound player doesn’t work properly. When you try to play any episode, the sound player gets stuck, doesn’t show any signs of playing back, one minute later starts playing/streaming with no indication of progress in the sound player so you can’t pause it or stop it. You have to force the app to close. I stick to the original podcast.

Love this app!

Sometimes it seems we've lost some of the best things -especially a sense of history and a love of the classics. Here's an app that presses the reset button. Give it a try! History comes to life.
