Right, well I've just listened to the first episode so far, but I think he's done a pretty good job with it! The show's clearly really well researched and he makes sure to bring in all sorts of differing views (I know the Mongols in particular have a pretty rich historiography surrounding them so this was pretty important). The only thing I don't really agree with him on is his views on revisionist history, as he sort of dismisses it as glazing over a lot of the negative impacts of the Mongols, but I don't think that's quite the case.

I'm definitely going to be listening to more of his stuff from now on though, so thanks for the recommendation!
