It’s called the Storm before the Storm and covers the era of the Roman Republic and events that led up to the fall of the Republic. Good stuff.

This isn't from that Podcast series. This is a new book and he goes into far more detail about that time period of the Republic. Good listen.

Well dipshit I know that you know about Mike Duncan's 2007 podcast and listened to it cause you're the asshole who turned me onto him! Grrrrr!

BTW...and I keep telling you this. Mike Duncan doesn't have shit on Colleen McCullough. Read her Masters of Rome series. Mike is good. He's very good but he's not as good as she is. Mike Duncan is the readers digests version compared to McCullough.

Metatron has some pretty good Youtube videos on ancient history. When he can get out of his own way that is.

 

[Mott the Hoople]

Bump

Finally finished the whole podcast. I still think the Masters of Rome series is far better but I do appreciate the attention that he give to the brothers Grachi whom McCollough largely bypasses.

Errr Gracchi

How in the exact fuck do you bypass the Gracchi? Way more significant than, for example, the consulship of Scipio.

 

[BRUTALITOPS]

how do we, who are into politics, also end up being history nerds? is that weird?

Well developed people are multidimensional so no. It’s not weird at all.

Well considering the vast sweep she’s covering you have to start somewhere.

Now I want to re-read that whole series.

Is the narrator good? I listen to a lot of audiobooks, the greatest piece of literature in the world can be ruined by a bad reader.

Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a shot.

He's very good. Excellent as a matter of fact. His podcast on the history of Rome is brilliant. It's about 100 podcasts of around 30 minutes duration each. Given the vastness of of the topic he doesn't go into a great degree of detail in those pod casts.

In this one he does go into more detail in which he focuses on the events that led up to the fall of the Roman Republic starting with the murder or the Gracchi brothers, then the Germanic invasions and the rise of Marius and the Marian reforms then into the Social Wars, Sulla's dictatorship, etc,.

At least. And worth every minute too.

Thanks. I actually went to my library website, listened to a sample, and put a copy on hold. I can't effectively listen to audiobooks on YouTube.
