I love this lecturer, so I'm biased right off the bat, but I love how he presents his material. It's always interesting and you can tell he loves the subject matter. I already knew a moderate amount about the Ottoman Empire, but this lecture series was still fascinating to me. There were so many details I didn't know, and he really does a great job of talking about cause and effect, trends, and keeping you in the mindset of the time. I don't know why we don't teach more of this in school, this empire lasted forever and made a huge impact on the world. If you want something different, this is a great series to listen to.

This was a brief overview, though the pacing seemed strange. He would belabor a point until I was zoning out, then breeze past several interesting things. He was also almost painful to listen to. It almost sounded like he was talking through clenched teeth and clogged sinuses the whole time.
