His lectures get a 5-star iTunes rating - Aileen Jacobson, Newsday
On the verdant 55-acre campus of the private Stony Brook School, Lars Brownworth is a history teacher with dozens of students. In the vast cyberworld of the Internet, Brownworth is a history teacher, too, with tens of thousands of devoted listeners. Brownworth's very specialized podcast series, "12 Byzantine Rulers" - 12 lectures so far, and he's only on the 8th emperor - is a big hit, with a 5 (out of 5) star rating from listeners at iTunes, where his lectures often top the Higher Educational list as most popular. (The podcast has more than 175,000 downloads per month, according to Brownworth's brother, Anders.) Wired magazine wrote that Brownworth exhibits "an infectious passion for his subject."
