What? No it wasn't. They came up earlier with the Battle of Bapheus

One of the things I love about podcast narrative history is how it fleshes out eras that I only had a vague understanding of. I include Mike Duncan’s Revolutions and the Hell on Earth podcast as also being very good at this.

Quick question for those of you who actually check comment. I’m currently behind on episode 54(2014) hearing about this website called historypodcasters.com. That does not seem to exist. Does anybody know what happened to it?

First mention of the Ottomans in the narrative. It may sound cheesy, but that was an intense goosebump experience.

What was the last name of the man who took over the navy after Apokaukos was murdered? Also great podcast as always.
