For each Founder I will have an intro episode that introduces the different podcast episodes, one or more that I do and then others that are on the same person. I'll have clips from each of these episodes to give you a taste of what they are like and link's to the episodes if you want to go check them out! I'm going to do these in order of length starting with the shortest and moving to the longest/series.


Wonderer's History Podcast - a 15-minute podcast that gives a little less battle info, but still has the big ones, and

goes into Skanderbeg's history, some more on the allies and european enemies of skanderbeg. Wonderer's podcast is arranged as a series of episodes that basically covers all of mediterranean history in the 16th Century.


Founders of Nations - This is the one I do, it's a 30-minute podcast that focuses mostly on his military prowess and what we can learn from Scanderbeg.


Anthology of Heroes - A 45-minute episode that has a lot of good details as well as some quotes from Scanderbeg. This "Anthology of Heroes" podcast is going through the countries A-Z looking at the most interesting person in each country.


Bulgarian History Podcast has a few seasons on the Ottoman Empire and around 10 30-minutes episodes that cover the period during Scanderbeg's rebellion including one summary episode(Episode 67) on Scanderbeg. That's the episode we'll sample. This podcast is focused, as it's name says, on Bulgarian History but does a great job looking at the Balkans in general


We Talk about Dead People - A 2-hour episode that goes into a LOT of details. The first hour is pretty much just a review of everything leading up to his taking power. This definitely is pretty biased against the Ottomans, they are portrayed as pretty barbaric compared to other people I wouldn't take too much from that, there were lots of people acting like the Ottomans were at this time. They do do a good job on Scanderbeg's info though. This podcast is basically like listening to a rock morning radio show but about historical events so be ready for silliness and steady cursing.
