2024-10-22 15:19:45 +0000 UTCA positive episode where at least the soldiers who are subjects of the episode mostly made it back in a couple of pieces?! Is this the right podcast?

2024-10-03 15:18:28 +0000 UTCIn reference to the whole "lovers of greek culture" thing... So you're saying Armenians were the first Gyroboos?
Hannah Oberhardt
2024-10-03 15:16:37 +0000 UTCEvery purchased copy of Skyrim comes with an unspoken contract agreement that you will at least create one stealth archer play through. Inability to do will result in Bethesda hiring PMCs to storm your house and retrieve your copy of Elder Scrolls Skyrim and replace it with Elder Scrolls: Online. A truly inhumane punishment.

2024-09-28 15:34:02 +0000 UTCThat was great! I tried reading the Anabasis and couldn't get past the boring classical writing style with no flair or drama whatsoever, so it was good to get to hear the whole tale

2024-09-24 18:10:25 +0000 UTCThat boot has gotta be how theratopod satyrs became a thing Also I FEEL the Greeks crying out Thalatta in joy, but above all: Xenophon's frustration. Like he must have been "what God did I piss off... "

2024-09-23 04:41:51 +0000 UTCShout out to all the Skyrim references…we all know Thom and Joe both start with original builds but fall to the curse of stealth archer build’s inevitability.

2024-09-22 22:21:12 +0000 UTCAccidentally made two new fans in the most ridiculous way possible. This podcast is my sunday dicking around in the garage with carpentry/mowers and gardening shit etc. Go to. My wife happened to mishear the word anabases as "ana-baptist" and asked...oh does he mean like (J) family? ...i said no hun, but since she is coming over later i should let you listen to an episode about something called the munster rebellion....those girls are NOT having the sunday they thought they would lol

Jonathan Sutter
2024-09-22 19:49:36 +0000 UTCHe's just "Diddy" now. He said the "P" was coming between him and his fans. Which honestly seems more like an R Kelly problem.

Sean Daily
2024-09-22 17:31:27 +0000 UTCA self destruction and hemorrhaging of one’s troops for little to no gain….the Chinese Red Army must have been doctrinally Spartan I see.
William Shackelford
2024-09-22 17:00:31 +0000 UTCThis is exactly what we needed after the last 4 weeks. Bravo bravo
Jack Lipski
2024-09-22 16:49:20 +0000 UTCWhat is have surmounted from the beginning is this.“ I believe P-Diddy, due to all the lube and male sex prostitutes, was spiritually Spartan. Some might say P-Diddy is reincarnation of an officer in the Band of Thebes. We believe Bad Boy Records is the Band of Thebes reincarnate, but instead of phalanx formations and massive spears, we got fire lyrics and Usher wrestling Diddy for the Last Box of cereal.” My source to back this claim up is I made it the eff up.

2024-09-22 16:39:56 +0000 UTCI guess I should have played Skyrim back in high school like all my other friends.

2024-09-22 15:55:53 +0000 UTCIf you want to spend like 5 more hours on these events the History of Persia podcast did a less funny but more in depth series on this. https://hopfulmedia.com/

2024-09-22 15:55:34 +0000 UTCI genuinely wonder how many times Joe has said the phrase “most of their men had no water” during the run of LLBD

nughh
2024-09-22 13:52:27 +0000 UTCFor a split second I thought we are gonna look at the Long March and how the Chinese Red Army nearly annihilated itself by crossing the same damn river four times.
Le Di Chang
2024-09-22 13:50:17 +0000 UTCSo are we to believe that Sparta was governed by an… Ephor Mafia?
