Wonderful detail, I love the Plutarch angle and format, I enjoy the subjects covered and especially the deep dive you get with the multiple episodes.

I can’t believe this quality content is available for free. This podcast is a gem! Plutarch’s lives are illuminated and expanded for a modern audience. How refreshing to hear from a true expert how knows how to tell a story!

Keep it up Alex. Your podcast is a fantastic source of information of these great periods in history, and as a plus you do a great job in pulling out the lessons we can take from them. Look forward to all the stories in parallel lives :)
