  1. Emperor Augustus

    قبل ٣٩ دقيقة

    Emperor Augustus

    Augustus has often been hailed as Rome’s greatest emperor - he ended civil war, built an empire and declared a new age of peace. But behind the architectural marvels and military triumphs lies a story of ruthless power plays, propaganda and dynastic uncertainty. In this episode, we're joined by Gregory S. Aldrete, a Professor Emeritus of history and humanistic studies at the University of Wisconsin–Green Bay. He pulls back the curtain on Augustus’s rule to ask: Was he truly Rome’s greatest emperor?

Ali Watkins is a journalist for The New York Times and author of ‘The Next One Is for You: A True Story of Guns, Country, and the IRA’s Secret American Army’.

  8. Is Society About to Collapse?

    ٢ سبتمبر

    Is Society About to Collapse?

    The climate crisis, the rise of AI and the cost of living - do you feel like our society is on the brink of falling apart? Dan is joined by Dr Luke Kemp, Research Associate at the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk (CSER) at the University of Cambridge, who has spent seven years analysing 400 societies over five millennia to discover what has led to the collapse of Ancient civilisations in places like Mesoamerica, China, Egypt and across Europe. He explains the impact inequality, leaders with traits of 'the dark triad' and environmental factors have on a historic society's survival. He identifies what changes we could make to stop it from happening to us, too.
