Welcome! 

Reviewing, rating, and ranking all the successors of Alexander the Great from Perdiccas to Cleopatra VII! In each episode, Dustin recounts the story of a successor to Meredith, then they rate them in different categories. But who will meet the Alexander Standard?

We are thrilled to welcome back actor, writer, and producer Alex Lyras and discuss the second production of his play, "Aristotle/Alexander." Want to hear discussions of ancient and modern political thought? Maybe even philosophical shenanigans? If the answer to even one of those questions is "yes," then this episode is for you!

It's curtains for old Antigonos Gonatas in his finale episode. Meredith's jet lag leads to interesting new historical takes such as can the Ptlomey dynasty swim? A general gets some digestive issues and so much more!

Antigonos Gonatas plays all the hits you’ve heard before: kings abandoned by armies, uncomfortable marriages, and Athens and Sparta being stupid. Oh and an elephant plays with a baby (no one dies… promise).
