I’m 17 episodes In. I always start at oldest and work forward. But I just found out that after only 40 episodes, Written in Blood was cut short. With millions of stories that could be told, I am saddened that this wonderful story teller was stopped what is an amazing view in to some worlds and stories I was not familiar with. Still 💯 worth listening to. Thou just to get hooked on a dead project. All I can say, please come back to us Written in Blood!

Top notch story telling and very interesting and diverse topics, with a nice understated sense of humor. This podcast is just a great way to relax.

This is an absolute gem of a podcast! Would highly recommend you listen if you are into history podcasts. Definitely worth your time.

This is one of my favorites

This podcast does a stellar job of taking both large swathes of history, as well as small snippets, and painting a picture that’s as rich in details as it is in historical fact. Out of sheer curiosity I listened to similar stories on the History Channel podcast and could not find the devil among their details. ‘Written in Blood’ highlights the twists and turns that make history more than just a good story. And that’s a fact.

I am happy to listen to another take on Arminius and the Germanic tribes that stopped Rome. “Hermann the German” is the inspiration for The Ring Cycle’s hero, Siegfried, I do believe. This is a rich topic.0

This is a very good podcast about interesting lesser known events in history, presented in my favorite format: One person delivering well researched information about people places and things. Stephen has a clear calm voice that does not distract from the subject matter. This allows the listener to embed themselves in the story from beginning to end. I’m often saddened by other podcasters who drown their own unique content in an unfortunate and distracting format, usually two dudes riffing and laughing, or a guy and a girl injecting their own opinions into what becomes a long and inefficient way of presenting content. Written in Blood is up there with Dan Carlin, Mike Duncan, Paul Cooper and Nitin Sil. 4 stars!

Very interesting podcast, entertaining for anyone who enjoys history. Definitely does a good job of trying to portray the personality of the people he speaks about.

As you go it’s more polished, better moderated tone. It’s a good listen and very informative while not being 5 hours long.

Give it a listen. Definitely worth your time. I am three episodes in and hooked!

This is a wonderful history podcast with an engaging host that clearly demonstrates his passion for history and the topics he selects with topics ranging Patrick Pearse, Arminius, Orban, and so many others! Great job and great way of winding story telling and facts together!

Love this show. Always keeps me interested and always look forward to new episodes. -Tabby from Your New Best Friends podcast

Stephen’s flair for the dramatic shines through, even when reading straight from a history book. The way he tells history makes this podcast feel like fiction, but somehow you never forget that every show centers on real people in extraordinary situations. Here’s to more episodes, Stephen is on to something!

This was so enjoyable and educational, I listened to it twice! First by myself and second with my family on a road trip. It really is so inspiring to hear of how our ancestors survived such hardship. I can’t wait for the next episode.

Very well researched and entertaining stories with a robust lesson in history. The author really expounds on some of the amazing trials that our forefathers have faced and or suffered; things that otherwise would be lost in history are brought back to life in the retelling of these stories. Highly recommend!

Hope you keep it going 👍🏻😱
