I love this podcast and can’t listen enough. Luckily there is a huge backlog of episodes. The quality of the interviews with eminent academics and the topics chosen are perfect for ancient history nerds. Persians, the Neolithic, history of the bible, classical Greece and Rome. Keep up the good work!
