I’ve been to Türkiye few times before and realised I didn’t fully appreciate my sightseeing without knowing the history. So now I’m much more excited to go back again! Thank you

I've been searching for podcasts that have a beginner's-guide-to-Turkey approach and was only finding snippets of BBC shows or podcasts that went far deeper into the culture than I was able to follow without background knowledge. This one was exactly what I was looking for and it is so wonderfully done. Extremely refreshing to hear it told by someone who is actually Turkish, too, rather than another stuffy British classicist. Serif's passion and knowledge really shines through in the narration and I wish there were more episodes! Thank you!
