Have you rated and/or reviewed the show on iTunes yet?


BIG thanks to everyone out there who has taken the time to rate and/or review the show on iTunes! Yes, even you haters out there. Jokes on you SUCKAS, any publicity is good publicity!

Anyway, if you listen through iTunes and haven't done so already, please consider rating or reviewing the show! It might not seem like it, but those stars mean a lot to me. Right now I'm setting a goal of 450, but I'd have a meltdown if I hit 500. Also I know it's a longshot, but I figure with the new and improved logo and some new ratings, Apple might even take notice and put us on the featured podcasts page? Eh? Well I'll keep my fingers crossed at least.

Hope you're enjoying episode 42! Check the sidebar for updates on the next one!

42 - Alexander the Great Pt.2

"Kratistos..."
- The supposed last word of Alexander the Great
Actually, a pretty creative reimagining of the Alexander story
(Reign: The Conqueror)

Who says you can't condense the life and adventures of Western Civilization's most famous conqueror into two episodes? We wind up our travels with Alexander in this final episode. 

And this means that we're also done with Greece! It's been a long time but it's time to move on. wouldn't you say? If you don't remember where we're going after, I remind you at the end of the episode. Otherwise you'll have to dig through the website to find out :)

Oh and if you direct your attention to the right sidebar you'll happen to notice the logo at the top with the words "100% - Released!" Basically that space is going to be my way of quickly communicating how far along in the next episode I am. Right now it's in full color, but it'll turn black and white soon enough, and then as I progress, more and more color will be added until poof! Another episode. I realize not everyone is on facebook for my updates and this should be a good solution. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, it'll make sense soon. I assure you!

Ok, see you back here in a while for the next exciting chapter of TPHOOW!

New logo!



It's a new look for the show! An updated logo courtesy of Mady G. Why the change of scenery? Eh, truthfully I was getting bored with the old one and wanted something to reflect my vision of the show. If you want to see the long version then head over to my Facebook page. 

Anyway, just wanted to let everyone know, in case they looked at their podcast feed and got confused. It's still the same show! Just...new logo. Will I be going back and changing the artwork for each previous episode? I hope it's done automatically...but if it isn't? Err...maybe if I have time...or not...and we'll just look back fondly at the older artwork. 

Episode 42 is being written! I want to get it out as soon as possible so I can start reading these books I got for our next exciting chapter...

Featuring a special guest introduction from the man who created an ENTIRE podcast series devoted to Alexander the Great, Jamie Redfern! Seriously, if you want to know more about Alex's life, you have to check it out.
