I have been subscribing to "TPN: Napoleon 101" for about 2 years and I love it. It is done by J. David Markham, President of the International Napoleonic Society and Cameron Reilly, CEO of The Podcast Network. The trace the life and times of Napoleon Bonaparte in a fun, entertaining and very informative way. They have 53 episodes so far and they are still going.
I really like how the two hosts make the time of Napoleon and history of Europe during that era comes to life. I never was big fan of that period in history until I listen to this podcast. If you try it you will find it addicting.
There really isn't anything I didn't like. Some people would say that the episodes are two long as they often go over an hour. I personally think they are so good that you don't even notice the length.
This podcast could be used in your World History class for giving an entertaining alternative to just reading long dry books without giving up the quality of information. It could also be used as an alternative to visually impaired students. At least it is an excellent supplementry source of information.
