  • If only it were 😢 Murad II resigned the Ottoman Sultanate in August of 1444. In his place his headstrong and fiery tempered 12 year old son Mehmed II took over. Watched over closely by powerful Pashas, Mehmed grew frustrated that his ambitions were stymied by men he judged to be cautious and cowardly. His imperious nature, coupled with the Crusade at Varna ended him resigning and Murad taking over again. #ottman #theoffice #historypodcasts #historiansofinstagram #ottomanempire #Devlet-i ʿAlīye-i ʿOsmānīye

Who We Are

The Creator and Host

Frank Schumpert

When I was 15 years old, the History Channel had a special on the Ottoman siege of Constantinople. I remember a map of the Sublime Ottoman Porte flashing up on the screen.. and I've been hooked ever since. 

This obsession with the past infected my bloodstream, and I chose Eurasian history as my major in college (it was as close to the Ottomans as I could get). 

By day I'm a 8-5 office jock doing my best to act interested in investigative odds and ends. My true passion comes out after hours, I sit back with my Muse and together we commune with the Ottomans..

Great history but host is soo laid back

This is one of the most interesting podcasts I’ve come across- especially as this amount of detail just isn’t taught in school But the host voice is so pleasant and soothing it’s too easy to fall asleep to But I want the information. History in podcast format should be interesting!!

Short doses of unfamiliar history

For someone not very familiar with the Ottoman Empire, I appreciate the obvious time put into each and every episode. The extensive research involved is apparent and appreciated as a listener. Episodes are not extremely long so you can grab a dose of history during a busy day. Frank’s voice is calming and perfect for a...
