A relaxed journey through Roman history and mythology, hopefully with plenty of tangents, sidebars and interesting distractions along the way. Our goal- even if it ends up being unrealised- is to journey from the Theogony all the way to the fall of Constantinople in 1453 and beyond. This show is just for fun, and we hope you have fun with it too!

    I am a huge Roman history nerd and listen to a lot of podcasts with Mike Duncan being my favorite. I listened to the first couple of episodes. While the gentleman seems to be knowledgeable and have a good speaking voice, the lady is difficult to understand. What is worse is that she interrupts far too much with child like questions that even someone with very basic knowledge should know. It really killed the flow of the podcast every time.
