Hello, and welcome to. . . The History of Rome.
Mike Duncan put up and almost hour-long HOR episode of him reading the first chapter of his book about the fall of the Roman Republic. It's all about that good ol' tribune Tiberius Gracchus. It made me incredibly excited seeing a new episode pop up and though I'd share if anyone missed it.
Is it really an hour? Or does he spend half the time talking about Harry's high quality German razors?

I'll give it a listen. I want to pre-order the book to support him but the description talking about how it has relevance to our own modern day makes me extremely leery that he'll keep trying to draw modern political parallels which would be an instant turn off for me to actually read. Maybe listening to that episode will put me at ease though.

From the chapter he read, it's more "these are things that happened, these are their consequenses, I'll leave it to you draw any conclusions." it's very old school history of Rome, just longer.
