Colin Sanders' History Books Review has been pumping out a whole load of episodes since Christmas. He explains that he has upgraded his bandwidth and has a lot of unreleased material to make public.
One of his recent podcasts caught my eye. This describes the German tribes who the Romans first failed to conquer, then used as troops in their army and who finally destroyed the empire itself. They sound like a fun bunch of guys.

Discuss this and other history podcasts on the history podcast forum.
I do love this podcast! Gibbon is hard work to read but I find I can wizz thru after listening to this.
