YMMV / The History of Rome

• Archive Binge: The episodes are generally about half an hour long—which makes listening to THoR for hours on end, just popping one episode after another like popcorn, is ludicrously easy.
• Archive Panic: There are over 180 episodes of THoR, now that the series is complete. It's pretty easy to be daunted—but see Archive Binge, above.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: In "Youthful Indiscretions," Mike ponders how the American Revolution will be remembered in centuries to come, and speculates about popular history forgetting about figures like Alexander Hamilton. With the popularity of Hamilton this seems less likely now.
• Spiritual Successor: The History Of Byzantium, narrated by Robin Pierson, which almost literally picks up where Duncan leaves off to carry forward the story of the surviving eastern half of the empire (a.k.a. the Byzantine Empire). Duncan himself makes a guest appearance on Byzantium for an interview and Q&A session.
