Against the Lore
Welcome to Against the Lore, the myth-busting ancient history podcast! Each episode, we fact check popular misconceptions around the ancient world. We take a general topic, look at how it worked in ancient history, and show how our modern world has been shaped by things that happened 2000+ years ago. Featuring Barney, Meg and Zenia, our experts on Near Eastern, Greek and Roman history, and Flo, our resident psychopomp. If you don't know what that is, you should probably listen to this podcast.

A new topic each week, viewed with an ancient slant from a modern perspective. Who can resist an “unexpected education in the cheese aisle”, or a Mesopotamian ghost ritual?
