Description

I’m excited to share with you one of my favorite podcasts that I’ve recorded! 🎧πŸ₯‡

I hope you enjoy it and will ➑️ subscribe to β€˜Cost of Glory’ ⬅️ (listen on: Spotify or Apple Podcast) and follow Alex’s explorations of the greatest stories from Roman and Greek antiquity.

It’s like a time machine for the mind, and might inspire you to read some of the great books we recommend near the end of the podcast!

In this episode, Alex and I discuss why the Romans and Greeks of Antiquity were 𝕀𝕠 π•’π•¨π•–π•€π• π•žπ•– and his journey following in Plutarch’s footsteps β€” telling stories of real heroes and learning from their lives. Except Alex does it with a podcast instead of with a reed pen (I had to look up what they used to write in antiquity…)

There’s a lot to love about this one. One of my favorite parts is when we do a lightning-round through a bunch of big names from the era, and Alex gives a highlight on each. We discuss people like Alexander the Great, Sulla, Hannibal, Scipio, Julius Caesar, Pompey, Cato the Elder and Cato the Younger, Xenophon, etc.

It gave me a lot of context about names I recognized but didn’t know much about β€” I feel better equipped to dig deeper! I hope it’ll do the same for you.

Enjoy! πŸ’š πŸ₯ƒ
