Excellent
Excellent work, with a great overview of these periods of Iranian history. With not too much details to lose the aim of having a holistic view, and enough details to not hover over important historical events.
I specially appreciated the honest (not ultra nationalistic) view of the author.
Bravo and thank you!
Just a few episodes in, but am loving it. Kudos! History nerds have long awaited such a comprehensive treatment of Iranian history. Consider this early and tentative, but wildly hopeful encouragement!
Very good
