October 16, 2018 Welcome to the Ottoman Empire!
I developed a love of all things history when I was in middle school. But it was in high school when I read “A history of the Ottoman Empire,” by Jason Goodwin. Ever since I’ve been hooked. I am Frank, the creator and host of this podcast. Beginning in the year 1300 with the Dream of Osman, I plan on telling, in continuous historical narration, the story of the Ottoman Empire all the way up to 1923. Thanks for stopping by.
