Reading for the Renaissance Man continues with its first substantive episode – an introduction to Thucydides and his famous history.
If you prefer audio, you can listen here:
And it should now be available on most major podcast platforms (for example here it is on Apple Podcasts).
Or video can be found here:
I welcome any and all feedback (and yes, as a couple of you have pointed out, the fan will be off for the next episode!), and if you enjoy, subscribing on your preferred platform not only will let me know how much traction the show’s getting, but also will help other folks to discover it.

You definitely haven’t eaten up my enthusiasm to listen on. It’s been ages since I logged into my google account, so you won’t get a like from me, but rest assured that you’re not just howling into the wilderness. 🙂
Will you continue announcing the episodes here?

Glad to know, thank you! And yes, I plan to keep announcing them here, as my hope is that the podcast/video episodes end up drawing people here, rather than vice versa, so I’m not worried about folks not subscribing over there because they count on getting the updates here.

Thanks for the introduction! Growing a channel comes with phases, but yeah, most certainly ask for likes and subscriptions, typically about 5m in and not at the end. For what it’s worth I gave a thumb up and subscribe at YouTube. Growing a YouTube channel is very hard work: a talented “vlogger” on a popular topic might make it their full time job and only reach 1,000 subscribers after a year.
Looking forward to the next installment!

Thanks very much for the advice and tamping down any excessive expectations. I aim to put out an episode a week, and I’ve finished reading ahead for all of Book I (originally I didn’t plan on reading ahead, but in a test recording, after going off on a long tangent that ended up being addressed a paragraph or two later, I decided it would likely be worth it).
Once again, thanks for the kind words!
