The Alexander Standard

The briefest hiatus

Remember when we posted the first episodes on a weekly basis? Pepperidge Farm remembers...
But seriously, the winter season brings food, festivities, and (for those of us working in education) a lot of work to catch up on! So right when we realized we were starting to average a month between episodes, we decided that it might be best for us to take a step back, catch our breath, and come back stronger (and sillier) than ever. Even Alexander took time off to recuperate, but that was usually after he did something profoundly stupid! We, at least, are trying to catch up on some work. 
Thus, we're gonna go on a brief hiatus. But don't worry, we'll be back in the stomp of an elephant's foot (go listen to the Perdiccas episode if you don't get that joke; hey we have inside jokes now!). We're far too nerdy to disappear for good. In the meantime, we hope everyone has a great holiday season and/or winter break! See you soon!

Antipater

Well, it took long enough! Today's episode is about the joy of old age, rebellions, sound effects, and (most importantly) love. Antipater's episode isn't as shocking as Perdiccas' antics, but maybe someone gets their tongue cut out. Plus, we tell you why you shouldn't throw rocks at people walking outside your city and why poison should only be carried in a horse's hoof.

Perdiccas

It took a while, but here we are: our first successor, Perdiccas! This episode has it all, even though Perdy didn’t last very long. We’ve got elephants, crocodiles, rebellion, marriage proposals (and rejections!), body snatching, eco-friendly footwear, and a little more rebellion for good measure. Plus Dustin reveals a dark, life-long secret to Meredith. All of this and more as we investigate whether or not Perdiccas rises up to the Alexander Standard (… he doesn’t).

Alexander the Great Part 1

We have arrived at Alexander the Great (or is he?)! How can you rank the successors without setting the standard with the man himself? In part one we follow him from young prince to his time in Egypt, where he makes a shocking discovery about his father.

Philip II of Macedon

Our second episode! "Do you know who my dad is?" Alexander the Great probably said to everyone. Well, do you know who his dad is? Join us as we review Philip II of Macedon and give our ranking categories a pilot run (can you spot where we already messed up?).
