The Alexander Standard

Hello everyone, we appreciate the continued support and patience and just wanted to give you all a brief update.    More from the Alexander Standard Sources Patreon Blue Sky  Facebook Instagram  Twitter  Alexanderstandardpod@gmail.com  

We felt a little wacky this episode, and we're sticking to it. We learn how loud our cat drinks water, lots of familiar people die, and we have a revelation about Game of Thrones! Oh yeah, and stuff about Philip V. This episode is brought to you by sleep deprivation!   More from the Alexander Standard Sources Patreon Blue Sky  Facebook Instagram  Twitter  Alexanderstandardpod@gmail.com

There’s been a conspiracy… in Macedon! Ever wonder what it would look like if Dustin got WAY out of control while researching? This episode. We’re traveling back in time and doing a deep dive on the “Conspiracy of Apelles” in 218. In today’s episode we have court intrigue, Aratus of Sicyon, biased sources, and Meredith investing in a cattle prod the next time Dustin pulls something like this. Come witness the dumbest rivalry in ancient history!   More from the Alexander Standard Sources Patreon Blue Sky  Facebook Instagram  Twitter  Alexanderstandardpod@gmail.com

Rule number one: When the Aetolians agree to a peace treaty, it means they are getting ready to declare war again. In other news, the scion of the House of Antigonos has appeared, on whom the fate of Macedon rests! And all he has to do is not to make friends with the wrong people. Come hear the tale of Philip V!   More from the Alexander Standard Sources Patreon Blue Sky  Facebook Instagram  Twitter  Alexanderstandardpod@gmail.com

A not so "mini" minisode! As we continue to prep for Philip V, let's learn about the first and second Punic Wars! Did Rome bully Carthage? Was Hannibal a dumb-dumb with his Dumbo's? Did Dustin ever turn the ringer off on his phone? Find out today!   More from the Alexander Standard Sources Patreon Blue Sky  Facebook Instagram  Twitter  Alexanderstandardpod@gmail.com

It’s not Demetrius II’s fault that his dad handed him a time bomb. It’s not his fault we can’t figure out which cousin he married. It’s not his fault! But it IS his episode!   Sources Patreon Blue Sky  Facebook Instagram  Twitter  Alexanderstandardpod@gmail.com

We are thrilled to welcome back actor, writer, and producer Alex Lyras and discuss the second production of his play, "Aristotle/Alexander."

It's curtains for old Antigonos Gonatas in his finale episode. Meredith's jet lag leads to interesting new historical takes such as can the Ptlomey dynasty swim? A general gets some digestive issues and so much more!    Sources Patreon Blue Sky  Facebook Instagram  Twitter  Alexanderstandardpod@gmail.com

Antigonos Gonatas plays all the hits you’ve heard before: kings abandoned by armies, uncomfortable marriages, and Athens and Sparta being stupid. Oh and an elephant plays with a baby (no one dies… promise).   Sources Patreon Blue Sky  Facebook Instagram  Twitter  Alexanderstandardpod@gmail.com

Is he our new “best boy?” Is he the “hardest working boy?” Did Dustin lose friends along the way? Is our cat a domestic terrorist? (Yes) Check out part 1 of Antigonos II Gonatas! Sources Patreon Blue Sky  Facebook Instagram  Twitter  Alexanderstandardpod@gmail.com

Meredith has overcome her fears of technology and we are excited to announce our Patreon is up and running! We appreciate everyone's continued support on this journey!  Sources Patreon Blue Sky  Facebook Instagram  Twitter  Alexanderstandardpod@gmail.com

Welcome to the finale! When Pyrrhus sets his mind to something, he sticks to it… until he sees something shiny and declares war on it! Oh, and today we cut people in half, the baby elephant DOES appear, and frisbee claims another victim (seriously)!

Pyrrhus got bored. Pyrrhus went to Italy. People died. Pyrrhus got bored. Pyrrhus went to Sicily. People died. And a baby elephant searches for mommy. It’s part two of Pyrrhus of Epirus! Sources Patreon Blue Sky  Facebook Instagram  Twitter  Alexanderstandardpod@gmail.com

The dry spell is over! And Pyrrhus is bringing the rain, even if he’s raining fire! We’ve got love, war, adventures while babysitting, and poop… this story features poop. It’s part 1 of Pyrrhus, king of Epirus (and Macedon)! Sources Patreon Blue Sky  Facebook Instagram  Twitter  Alexanderstandardpod@gmail.com

Meredith and Dustin debated what to say in this blurb, longer than Antipater II Etesias may have sat on the throne.  Sources Patreon Blue Sky  Facebook Instagram  Twitter  Alexanderstandardpod@gmail.com

Thanksgiving might be over, but check out this turkey...or guinea fowl! Turns out that being born into a royal family doesn't always guarantee success! Sources Patreon Blue Sky  Facebook Instagram  Twitter  Alexanderstandardpod@gmail.com

Remember the puppy with the flamethrower looking for a home that he could burn down? Well he’s all grown up, found a place to call home, and he still has the flamethrower. Everything in Macedon is just fine… Hi, Ptolemy Keraunos! Sources Patreon Blue Sky  Facebook Instagram  Twitter  Alexanderstandardpod@gmail.com

Imagine a puppy. Now give it a flame thrower. Now kick the puppy out into the cold night and tell it that anything flammable is the reason it has no family. That is Ptolemy Keraunos. Have a nice day. Sources Patreon Blue Sky  Facebook Instagram  Twitter  Alexanderstandardpod@gmail.com
