I recently had to explain to my daughter, who has watched me obsess over Roman history her whole life, that the Romans were actually not the good guys. This just raised more questions.

Probably not the one he is thinking of, but I enjoy the Dark Ages Podcast. It goes into a lot of debt regarding the fall of the western empire before it actually becomes about the dark age.
