Cause it isn't dry purely academic history. He uses a narrative approach to describe important historical events, the new concepts and precedents they established and their consequences down through history. It's like a combination of history and theatre.
 
I like listening to him so far....

He seems to have several interesting historical discussions I am planning to listen to...

Had to google him, I don't do blogs and podcasts but I'm listening to his latest Common Sense now and am about 10 minutes in and so far I can identify with him. But like I said, I don't do blogs and podcasts so...
 
It's too bad his podcasts are so infrequent. I don't see why he doesn't split his history podcasts up into 30 minute to hour long chunks instead of releasing one massive 4 hour long audiobook every 4 or so months.

It takes a true historian to present history like that. Nicely stated.
