It's bretty gud over all, but every now and then he has a retarded take.
My personal favourite is the ep when Caesar crosses the Rubicon, and Duncan comments on say whatever you will about Caesar, this was a profoundly selfish decision. Dismantling his army simply would have meant his political career was damaged; it's not like his enemies in the Senate wanted to imprison or harm him.
...brah, you're doing a podcast specifically about Roman history...and you don't know how Caesar died?

Also, in an early (possibly the first) ep he mentions that the 7 kings of Rome were probably either fictitious or at least an amalgamation of a much larger number of figures (a correct, but obvious take). But his reasoning was the idea of 7 monarchs reigning an average 35 years each stretches credulity. That's the LEAST incredulous part of the story of the Roman kingdom. This same guy later on did a series on the French revolution. Guess how long the 7 kings of France leading up to the Revolution lasted on average?

DESU senpai, he started as a 27 year old fishmonger at whole foods who enjoyed reading Livy at night, I’m sure he would have put more effort into the first episodes if he had any idea of how big it would be. The first five or so episodes he even had to use his internal laptop mic.

It’s kind of insane that he began THOR as a small hobby with basically one source and went on to publish weekly episodes for five years straight, covering 1229 years of history with no training aside from thumbing through Edward Gibbon as a kid.
