We felt a little wacky this episode, and we're sticking to it. We learn how loud our cat drinks water, lots of familiar people die, and we have a revelation about Game of Thrones! Oh yeah, and stuff about Philip V. This episode is brought to you by sleep deprivation!

Come hear the tale of Philip V!

It’s not Demetrius II’s fault that his dad handed him a time bomb. It’s not his fault we can’t figure out which cousin he married. It’s not his fault! But it IS his episode!

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).

    Are You A Charlotte?

    In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
