Episode 26: Rome Isn't Real

What was your favorite subject in school? I'd have leaned towards science back then, but the older I get the more interesting I find history. I think I'm well on my way towards the dad status of reading about the history of WW2 tanks on vacation. A fascinating period of history is ancient Rome. How could such a sophisticated culture decline and give us the Middle Ages? 

Easy. Rome wasn't real.

This episode we're talking about how Rome isn't real. Who better to teach us about history than a millennial mom who may or may not have a college degree?

26 episodes marks nearly a year of bi-weekly episodes. Thank you to all our rabid sheeple for succumbing to our mind control!
