    Fall of Roman Empire
    Captivating!

    Far too bias.
    I came looking for and unbiased critique of some possible reasons Rome fell (among the many) and found a much to enamored talk which left out everything critical about Rome. Even the connection between Rome and Europe is a leap. Far too biased and one sided. History should be told from the disparate perspectives of those who experienced; especially when told by a history professional. Very very disappointing.

    Interesting, but not really a telling of the fall of Rome
    Extremely interesting and pleasant to hear. Also very Anglocentric. Did I mention Anglocentric. The story is consistent with other tellings, but from the view of someone sitting in England.

    A very interesting and pleasant interview
    Not a class. There are some background noises (a parrot?) that are more amusing than annoying. Leaves you wanting to hear his whole class on the subject.
