Revolutions' Origins
- Mike Duncan planned Revolutions while in grad school, intending it to be shorter than his previous podcast, The History of Rome.
- Life changes led him to move and pursue podcasting full-time, initially giving himself one year to succeed.
Expanding Scope
- Duncan's initial plan for a short series quickly evolved into a much larger project.
- The planned 12-15 episodes per revolution expanded significantly due to the richness of the historical content.
Growth of Revolutions
- Revolutions grew far beyond Duncan's initial projections, from a planned 15 episodes to 342.
- It became an eight-day-long audio experience with 1.5 million words, exceeding The History of Rome's length.
