A look at the life of Alexander the Great, from his birth in Macedonia and his conquests to the edge of the world and back.
On the afternoon of Saturday 8th June 2013 I'm coming to London! I'll be hanging out in The George Inn and I'd love for you to come out and talk about history, podcasting, or anything else really. Hannie Kirkham, our guest on Let's Talk episodes, is going to be there, as is Roifield Brown of the How Jamaica Conquered the World podcast (provided he is in the country), and possibly Peter Adamson of The History Of Philosophy podcast. I'll hopefully see you there!
A trailer for an eBook based on the Alexander podcast. You can go buy it now at Amazon, on your kindle or a kindle app. If you are an Amazon Prime user you can borrow the book for free. Also, I have a new microphone and at some point in 2013 will be re-recording the Alexander series on a new feed.
