Great story about Bonaparte's intimidating glare in response to the disrespectful lack of removing hats upon entry. I can just picture the holes he burned into those guys. With regard to your running over your expected time slot, keep in mind that your avid listeners aren't minding one bit if your knowledge spills over. All the better. Kudos.

Vive L’Empereur and i look foward to the next episode. Hi Guys

In the last episode their was some debate between David and his friend to who was the best Marshal.In my own humble opinon it would have to be the ‘iron marshal’ Davout eventhough my own favourite is Lannes, Auerstadt was immense, damn shame he wasn’t given a field command at Waterloo.

Again they are great. I really like your description of incomparable Josephine and the end of the episode when you say that the Emperor has always loved her (the most), it is something which many people do not know, this 'lovely Emperor'...Episode 5 was also very good, a good description of this brilliant Man and a good start of this fabulous Italian campaign... Until the next one, Vive L'Empereur and thanks again! Dear Cameron and David,

Just wanted to say a huge thanks. Please also pass this on to David. End of the last podcast David & yourself mentioned slightly apologetically about the time overrun. From me : Don't worry, you're both doing fine. Yoy guys take as long as you want - nobody's forcing me to listen after all. I play my own little inner game, where I imagine you two sat in armchairs by a fire, glasses of wine in hand, friends chatting about Napoleon. I'm also sat silently in a nearby chair, enjoying it & learning along the way - good enough for me. I'm in no rush to leave this imaginary fireside so you two gentlemen take as long as you want.

We've never been happy with the history behind the 1812 Overture either, it just seemed to fit easily. :-) Next episode I'll try The Emperor (can't promise it'll be the Willems version though) and see how it works!

Love your work and good on you both for making the effort. One suggestion. An alternative to the 1812 overture (which celebrates the Russian victory) that you could consider for the intro music is Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5 in E flat Opus 73 - also known as "The Emperor". At one time Beethoven was an admirer of Napoleon. If you don't have a copy might I suggest that you get the DVD from ABC Classics. It has Gerard Willems from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music playing a Stuart and Sons Piano (made of Huon pine) with Sinfonia Australis conducted by Antony Walker. Apart from getting a DVD of the year award last year I would suggest that its one of the best renditions of this absolutely imperial piece of music. HTH and Keep up the good work Regartds Chris Gidday guys.
