If you want to listen to our archived Julius Caesar series (46 episodes plus 17 VIP episodes), you’ll need to sign up to be a subscriber for $5 a month. We produced this series 2013 – 2015. It started off as another serious history show, but fairly quickly we started relaxing and having some fun with it because we think learning stuff is easier when you’re having a laugh. If you don’t have a robust sense of humour – and can’t handle some commentary about contemporary politics and religion – then please go listen to something else, you poor delicate snowflake.As one review on iTunes put it: “This is what it would sound like if the morning radio DJs took over the History Channel.”Don’t be mistaken though – we take the history very seriously. Each episode is 99% serious history and 1% clowning around. Over 60 episodes we pieced together the story of the rise and fall of Julius Caesar, using a range of modern and contemporary sources as our guide. Deep history combined with some filthy humour, 80s music and contemporary political and religious commentary. If you want to have a taste test before you dive in, you can listen to the current series (CALIGULA) for free by subscribing with one of the below podcast apps.
