As a historian, how accurate is Mike Duncan’s “The History of Rome”? How does the historical community look at Dan Carlin’s podcast?

This may fall into the category of “anecdotal” and as such- my bad. Basically, I love listening through The History of Rome and as an amateur history lover, it has allowed me to go deeper in a subject than I normally get to.

As a historian, are these types of podcasts reliable? How are they viewed by professionals? Have any other suggestions for a history geek with a commute? Thanks!
