Mike Duncan Reviews HBO's ROME E31: Lend Us Your Ears

from Remember Shuffle · host Remember Shuffle

We came, we saw, we podcasted. Huge thanks to @Mike Duncan for coming on the pod to review HBO’s Rome with us. The most expensive TV show ever made at its time, and a beautiful show which actually put its budget to good use (unlike, a certain LoTR series). The show gets the Julius Cesar story so right (with a few funny anachronisms), and adds on a Forrest Gump like historical fiction. It immerses you in the values and morals of classical Rome and we love the voodoo magic of day-to-day Roman life. Find Mike's podcasts at: https://thehistoryofrome.typepad.com/revolutions_podcast/ And get check out 'A Hero of Two Worlds' the story of Lafayette, and 'The Storm Before the Storm' for more classical history https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34184069-the-storm-before-the-storm Ben's show notes: https://remembershufflepod.wordpress.com/2023/08/19/hbos-rome-with-mike-duncan-e31-lend-us-your-ears/
