“If hilarious historical commentary and labored puns- followed by music right out of a Richard Simmons workout video- are your cup of tea, which they should be, then this is very much the podcast for you! Journey once more with Ray and Cam to the mystical East, saving quite a bit on travel expenses to Persepolis, as they track the campaigns of one of history's most fascinating figures. It has been said that historians often overestimate the importance of "great men" in history, ignoring the more vital sociopolitical forces that set the stage for their rises and falls; yet, in the case of Alexander, the very image of greatness that he codified became a sociopolitical force in itself. Who better to tackle such a man and such a legend than two legends of crass historical podcasting, Cam Reilly and Ray Harris Jr.
By no means a cliff-notes account, our masters of ceremonies actually go to the trouble of citing their sources, a practice which is helpful for those who wish to do further reading. My only complaint is that, on entering Egypt, our hosts did not play the song "Africa," by Toto. Still, it's not too late; worst case scenario, they can play it for the Augustus show!”Read full review »

“Totally worth the $5 a month for this podcast. These guys are both absolutely hilarious and run the show in true Aussie fashion, horrifying PC Americans while making everyone else’s day. Ray and Cam are two jokers, but despite that they are still extremely in depth and informative. Haven’t liked...”Read full review »
