The Comfortable Spot with Tristan Hughes

Today I’m joined by historian, author and podcaster Tristan Hughes. When I was in the early stages of creating the concept for The Comfortable Spot, I always had Tristan on my list as a guest. Tristan’s podcast, The Ancients, is an amazing series that not only covers vast swathes of early history, but also perfectly manages to do this without ever taking the listener for granted as it explores subjects in an easy to follow format. Tristan is crucial in the series because of his bounds of enthusiasm, and his choice of guests is astounding. Recently Tristan has published a book, The Perdiccas Years, 323-320 BC, which covers the fallout from the sudden death of Alexander the Great and we chat about the story behind his book, as well as about a number of other great topics so I hope you are sitting comfortably and happy to stay with us.
