Updates!

If you've been following the show on Facebook or Twitter you can probably skip everything I'm about to write. But if you haven't you're probably wondering what's going on with the podcast! Have I been abducted by time traveling warriors looking to rewrite history? Did I fall down a bottomless well only to end up in a subterranean world inhabited by magma people? Maybe I blew a brain gasket, unable to cope with the internet fame and glory of being a history podcaster and have moved to Lillehammer, Norway to make gravlax for a living.

Right, well, as much as I'd rather you believe one of those stories, the truth is a bit more muted. You all know that this podcast began as a way for me to cope with unemployment as I searched for a teaching position, right? Well I haven't found anything permanent yet but I have been in the classroom the last month and it's been dominating my time. It's great to be teaching again and I love my students but the podcast has been neglected. Temporarily! But neglected. 

HOWEVER!

If you've been wondering when ep.31, Athens, will be coming out, I can assure you the wait is almost over. This should be the week I get it out, promise! This is also my last week of work, so you can expect a more regular episode schedule soon! Remember when I was able to get one out each week? Ahh the glory days of unemployment. So much time...so little money...well anyway, again thank you SO much for supporting myself and the show through all this. I just wanted to reassure everyone that I'm still here, happy and well, and working hard to bring you new episodes as quick as I can!

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to seek out inspiration for the next episode in my local Greek diner. Perhaps a nice gyro and some spanakopita are all the motivation I need!

  2. Thanks for the update, Rob, and congrats on the new position! Big fan of the show and just came here wondering why a new one hadn't hit my feed in a while. I'm glad it's for a good reason on your end.

    Keep up the great work!

  4. My goodness, I've never heard anyone who's better fitted to be a teacher. I'm still in the Mesopotamian part, which normally is so thick with unknown names and people endlessly making war for little reward that it's always been pretty boring--sleep-inducingly so. I actually got through it this time due to your presentation.

  7. Well Congrats on getting some work in. I wish there were more teachers with you're Mad skills out there. But I do miss my 2nd favorite history podcast. (2nd only to Dan Carlin.) But don't take that the wrong way you are still more humorous and I've never bothered to post on his site either. Good luck with both the job hunt and the podcast!
