10. Emperor Sexypants

This week we try and brute force massive societal change in Rome, with middling to terrible results. No one said setting up a cult was easy, rewarding or actually wanted but you just have to keep trying. Join us on the whirlwind journey of debauchery, assassination and perhaps at the end, a treasure hunt?  In other news: How to revitalise a hole, and work out why we keep talking about chimp urine. Trust me, don't be left out of this watercooler moment.  We were joined by Laura Quelch, a marketing strategist, graphic designer and hypnotherapist who can be found at:  Web: https://lauraquelchdesigner.wixsite.com/lauraquelchdesignsLinkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/designer-laura    The History Mongers, brought to you by B-Unit Productions, is a history andentertainment podcast by nerds, for nerds.
