I agree, I'd rather have 10 x 2 hour episodes released on a regular schedule than 4 x 5 hour ones that appear only every once in a while.

I've thought that for a long time. Really i'd like half an hour a week. It's quite difficult to keep listening and take everything in when it's as long as it is now.

I'm currently listening to The History of Rome and although it's a long finished series I can just binge, each ep is 15-20 minutes long which is perfect length when you're dealing with complex historical structures and events.

I love Carlin, he's an unmatched orator, but I wish he'd go down that route.

I forget his name, but the History of Rome guy followed it up with a series called “Revolutions” which is excellent. He’s currently on the Russian revolution but has done the American, French, Haitian and Mexican revolutions.

Is it the Italian fella?

No, an American guy. Mike Duncan.

There were also US civil war widows still alive up until just a few years ago.

Errr, what...

How is that possible. The Civil War was 150 years ago (roughly, I think). Unless I’m being dense, even if they were born and married immediately they’d have to be well over a hundred to make it anywhere near modern day.
