    Happy New Year. I have two interviews coming out shortly for you to enjoy. One with David Hendrix of the Byzantine Legacy website (www.thebyzantinelegacy.com) and a return visit from Father John Strickland to answer more questions about Orthodoxy.

    Both those episodes are being sponsored by Telepaideia. a collection of live online courses in Latin, Ancient Greek, and the classical humanities offered by The Paideia Institute. You can take beginner classes in Latin and Ancient Greek. Visit www.paideiainstitute.org/telepaideia to browse the course catalogue and register!

    If you’d like to hear me being interviewed about my life and the podcast then check out the Ancient Office Hours podcast (www.theozymandiasproject.com/podcast). Hosted by the charming Lexie Henning it’s a podcast that interviews academics and podcasters about their work in history. And I really enjoyed talking to her.

    Finally do get your tickets for the podcast conference Intelligent Speech. I will be live on Saturday 8th February as part of 2 roundtables. Go to intelligentspeechonline.com to find out more.

A perfect sequel

Robin picks up the story of Rome and does it justice in this perfect sequel for the History of Rome. Not simply a mere continuation, Robin introduces a new style of personal story telling that takes you to the world of Byzantium and brings the characters to life.

This podcast is the gold standard and I can't recommend it highly enough.

Brilliant

Outstanding, especially if you liked "The History of Rome" podcast by Mike Duncan. Interesting and well researched.
