The ’’Greats’’ of History

Episode 12: Alexander III, part 1

Let's set the stage for the most famous "Great" of them all. 

Bonus Episode: Three New Things I've Learned About Nebuchadnezzar II

You'd think that by now, I would be able to spell Nebuchadnezzar on the first try. Here's a quick look back at an old friend, and a few new things I've learned since his episodes aired a little while back.  

Episode 11: Darius I, Part 2

So Darius managed to become King of Kings. Now what? Let's find out, and while we are at it, we'll take a look back at the meaning and importance of the Persian Empire. (P.S. Get over yourself, Greece.)

Episode 10: Darius I

Confession time: I didn't want to do this one. Have a listen to find out why. (Oh, and I am glad I did.)

Bonus Episode: Three New Things I've Learned About Ramesses II

I have a few new things about Ramesses II to share since his episode aired a little while back. Have a listen, and let's keep learning together. After all, Ramesses would expect, or even demand, that we keep paying attention to him. 

Episode 9: Cyrus II, part 2

Let's find out what Cyrus is up to. Spoiler alert: it's a lot, and much more than simple conquest and martial glory.

Episode 8: Cyrus II, part 1

The successors of Nebuchadnezzar weren't quite up to the task; Neo-Babylonians might be in trouble. But there is about to be a new, new sheriff in town. Time to say hello to the Persians. 

Bonus Episode: Three New Things I've Learned About Thutmose III

Because learning a few new things about Sargon of Akkad was so much fun, I thought I would explore whether or not there were any fun new facts about Thutmose III that we could uncover together. Turns out, there are! 

Episode 7: Nebuchadnezzar II, part 2

Let's spend some time with a ruler who preferred hanging out at home to marching on campaign, and who built what might be the greatest city in human history.
