      Oh, sweet. I was hoping this podcast hadn’t died. That’s a second relief, now that the History of Iran ‘cast is back.

      I suddenly feel spoiled with several very good nautical podcasts complementing each other very well where just recently there were none. There’s The History of Pirates which is both lighthearted and comprehensive (he starts way back with the Sea Peoples, for example). A new favorite of mine is The Maritime History podcast. Broader than just military, the most recent episode deals in great detail with how the ancient Egyptians transported their massive monumental stones by ship.
      Oh, and the Born Yesterday podcast (a general history past covering a wide range of topics) just had a lovely episode on the history of Sea Shanties complete with vocal performances. I might go so far as to call it beautiful.
      The return of this podcast rounds things out for me. I can’t wait to listen!

      Please, continue this podcast! I’m listening to a lot of them, and, I was quite surprised that yours has a quality, comparable to Dan Carlin or Mike Duncan. Seriously, most other podcasts are badly produced and their hosts sound like they’re not even interested in the subject and should take some public speaking classes, but yours shocked me with it’s awesomeness. My dad served in the soviet navy, during the late 70’s (I’m from Latvia), and I grew up, listening to his tales. So, good luck, and don’t let this die!
