So I decided to take what I was reading and translate it into a podcast: “I’ll narrate the entire Roman Empire from beginning to end. Easy.” I have no idea why I thought I could pull it off.

Mike Duncan (podcaster)

American historian and podcaster

Michael William Duncan (born February 14, 1980) is an American political history podcaster and author. A self-described "complete history geek",^[2] after not finding any Roman history podcasts in 2007, Duncan began The History of Rome, a narrative podcast chronicling events from the founding of Rome until the collapse of the Western Roman Empire. The podcast concluded in 2012. A year later he began Revolutions, which ran for ten seasons over the course of nine years, covering the American, French, and Russian revolutions, among others. The series' second phase ended in July 2022 and was followed by a nearly two-year hiatus before the series returned on 22 October 2024 with a fictional account of a prospective Martian Revolution.^[3] On 16 December 2024, Duncan announced that he was continuing work on the Revolutions podcast, declaring that the Martian Revolution season would be the "intermission" of the podcast and that he would return to telling the stories of real revolutions afterwards.^[
