“Oh boy, don't know if I can match up to some of the witty and ... blunt reviews left and read during the show before, but here we go:
The Life of Alexander the great came and went. Years passed, and dull history teachers came into the classroom and made school children wish they were anywhere but in the class. Anywhere else at all, no matter where that may be! After being snapped out of the la-la land of day dreaming, children found themselves hitting their heads against the desks in boredeom. "PLEASE! Oh, lord END THE DAY! Let me go HOOOOOOME!"
Alexander the Great went from a world-changing and inspiring young general who accomplished more by the age of his death than many could ever wish to accomplish in 32 life times (get it?), who inspired masses of men to take on THE PERSIAN EMPIRE, to a bunch of dull and opressive text that filled up 10 pages in a history book. Children would go on to hate the man for taking away a beautiful sunny day that could be spent outside... perhaps the history book could make a good cover for sneaking in a comic book in class?
AND THEN! RAY HARRIS AND CAMERON REILLY were summoned from the Netherworlds by Alexander's greeeeeeeeeeeeat descendents. What for? To make the long-deceased ancestor as exciting, alive, and FUN to follow as when he has breathed on this Earth. The journey with Alexander starts with his Father, and when learn about Philip lied, used great military strategies, lied, used great diplomatic skills, lied, and then brought all of Greece (well, Sparta...) into the first United Nations of the world! Well... the city-states/civilization that mattered. Who cared about the outer world? A bunch of brutes who spoke "baa baa" anyway!
These two part-time historians and part-time comedians (it seems that Cameron may also be a full-time DJ) manage to make Alexander interesting! So LISTEN UP! To all of you drained students who have had your souls sucked out by boring history classes, replenish your youth and happiness through learning history the right way! You will also learn many things about out-dated 70's and 80's pop culture, hear LONG but insightful rants about America, and learn about Ray's battles with snakes, basement floods, and perhaps one hore sized duck (as opposed to 100 duck sized horses, both species are native to Australia)
At the end, it's like a long acid trip, as well as a fun college course into the Great General! You will come out of this program dazed and confused, but also a smarter citizen of the world.
It looks like Alexander's reputation has been redeemed, the summoning was a success, and we all win!”Read full review »

“This morning I observed a strange omen, a large Eagle circled me and I beheld my wife writhing in her bed with a long and very stiff snake (which was strange as I had not found it when I patted her down looking for a sword under her clothes before we went to bed). I decided that I must consult...”Read full review »

“Follow me all you who would hear a tale of a man from Macedon,
It is guaranteed if you lend an ear, you’ll have no excuse to yawn.
He was young and brave, as bold as brass;
He conquered all he saw.
With his noble steed Bucephalus, he left all the Greeks in awe.
If you like to learn and you love...”Read full review »

Anyhow. This is a fun and informative history podcast. Ray will throw facts at you a mile a minute. Cam will spray you with something else. They're a good combo of fun and facts. Give Life of Caesar a listen to hear them for free. You've found a gem. Give it a...”Read full review »
