There's a new Emperors of Rome podcast up!

Good news everyone! It seems in 3025 we will still be able to visit the historical site of Pompeii! Kind of.

@benaaronovitch.bsky.social What ho, Ben! I must say, ‘Masquerades of Spring’ was a most pleasing diversion. Might I ask, can we expect further editions of ‘The Quite Splendid Adventures of Augustus Berrycloth-Young’?
Toodle pip,

I find myself with a schedule gap (July) for Emperors of Rome. If you're an academic with a microphone and an idea for an episode, get in touch!

The new Emperors of Rome episode has been delayed sorry. It's edited, but I need to work on the episode after it as well, and make sure there isn't too much content overlap.

Thanks for your patience.

My partner got me little Lego versions of us for Christmas! Wheee!

Here’s my 2025 reading list as it stands. It’s ambitious for me, and subject to change.

Cheers. 😁
