Hopefully long-time listeners of The Ancient World found the ending of “The Ancient World – Thea” rewarding, since it takes things right up to the very first episode of “The Ancient World – Bloodline.” For those newer to the podcast, “The Ancient World – Bloodline” […]

I’m Very Excited
For a bunch of great reasons! First and foremost, I’ve just finished drafting Episode T10, which means I have four new episodes ready to produce. Finishing Episode T10 also gave me another piece of happy news, which is that I now believe I can reasonably […]
Spring Break
Now that we’re 6 episodes in, I wanted to give you an update on the new series and my plans for 2019. I’m planning to break “The Ancient World – Thea” into 6-episode “seasons” with breaks in between. Which is another way of saying that […]
Holiday Break
So…Egypt, huh? Yeah, that was pretty crazy. And what about this new guy, Aurelian? I can’t quite put my finger on it but he seems like he could be trouble. But I’m sorry to say it’ll be a few weeks before we continue the story. […]
Samsigeramus, Zenobia, and the End of the Bloodline
After listening to Episode B43, astute listener Jacob asked (on the TAW Facebook page): “So with the death of Samsigeramus is that technically the end of the Bloodline as far as we can prove?” My answer is a reluctant but unqualified “yes.” Samsigeramus, like Severus […]

Off Again
Just a quick note to say that the latest Episode, “The Black Stone,” will be the last one for the next month or so, due to Vacation and a few other things. Around the end of October, I’ll be back with the final three episodes […]
Another Break
I wanted to let everyone know that the latest Episode, “Perish in Blood”, will be the last one for a month or two. I’ll be off on Vacation for a while, and generally taking a break. In the meantime, I hope you’re all enjoying the Severan […]
Halftime
Episode B24, “The Yona Kings”, closes out the second story arc of “The Ancient World – Bloodline.” The first dozen episodes – which I guess you could call the “Mauretanian story arc” – covered the final years of Antony and Cleopatra, then discussed the lives […]
Thanks!
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone who donated to the TAW Syria Fund Drive. In the end, we raised over $5,000 to help preserve Syrian heritage sites and support Syrian refugees. You guys definitely came through, and I really appreciate it. Big […]
