   Guy Davenport is another fascinating essayist - a true polymath - he ties together narratives that are at first glance unrelated into a beautiful whole. I've only read The Geography of the Imagination which is 40 essays, but he has oth

    I look forward to checking out your podcast! I'm just following Mike Duncan's Revolutions podcast and he's nearly up to WWI historically, would be a nice segue to new content.

    I think 12 Byzantine Rulers - The history of the Byzantine Empire (19 episodes) is what Mike Duncan cited as his inspiration for the History of Rome (191 episodes). I'd also recommend Norman Centuries - A Norman History Podcast by Lars

    I'm a big fan of Alexander von Humboldt, this ties in nicely, interesting to read. If you go to http://darwin-online.org.uk/EditorialIntroductions/Chancello... you'll see the connection.

    So why do I have to go to a paywalled site to read about free online content? OP and NYT can both take a damn hike.
