“A suprisingly informative and well researched history podcast. This is especially true since one of the two hosts is a drunk who apparently does no research, and the other is some kind of 9/11 truther from New Zealand or something.

We caught whiffs of this sardonic take on the ancient world in History of Rome, but Ray and Cam have taken it to whole new level. They haven't created another history podcast, they have redefined the genre. It is worth both your time, and your money.
Looking forward to Augustus.”Read full review »
