Show Notes
Fall asleep as we explore the funny history of Ancient Rome.
Was it built in a day? Did anyone notice when it was finished? The history of Rome is story beloved in the modern world. But it wasn't all marble columns, organized government, and glitz and glamour. In fact, for many centuries, it was arguably quite boring.
We'll discover this and much more tonight. So enjoy this bit of history, presented in a calming, funny fashion, and nod off with a few laughs along the way to dreamland.
This should not it be taken as an authoritative source of history. It's boring history, delivered in a satirical way that's soft and slow. Perfect to fall asleep with a smile on your face :)
