Despite a very long year, Plebcast still runs and has continued to be so much fun. It is awards season and it would mean the world to all of us if Plebcast could be nominated for NSR best show. Everyone who has been on the show has been fantastic and worked so hard this year.

We have a new episode up! The penultimate of the year and it’s on mysteries. Think it might be my favourite so far so please do check it out! Very good if you want to know about dancing priests, Steve jobs in the pyramids or secret gardens. https://t.co/n4VYbDavDE

#ExploringClassicalandHistoricalNorthumbria visited @VisitCorbridge yesterday: St Andrew’s Church (with “reclaimed” Roman arch), the impressive ruins of the Roman site (albeit from through a fence), and a swift stop at @PeleCorbridge, a wonderfully cosy and unique pub!

This (last) week Rory steps up as host to cover for Louis, and he welcomes two new guests - Nina & Joe (a non-classicist)! It's a Valentines Day special as they chat about love stories. So sorry about the delay. Also, its episode 11 not 12 xx

1. Ovid - the ultimate dinner party guest
2. Herodotus- for the stories of his travels
3. Alexander the Great- can you imagine the drinking

[Lytham St Annes CA @lsaclassics]

Which 3 characters from the ancient world would you invite to a party? A statesman like Scipio or hero like Herakles? Clodia to spice up the party? Aristophanes for the laughs? Orpheus with the music; Locusta with her poison; Virgil's poetry? @profmcscott https://t.co/Iu9VaysORI
