I just got clued into this recent Mike Duncan interview on Podcast 411, where he (very accurately!) relates the story of how The Ancient World podcast got started. Enjoy!

And here’s the scoop on the TAW Wrap Party: There’s a bar right down the street, where my wife and I (and maybe a few friends) plan to plant ourselves for a few hours, in the hopes of sharing a few drinks, stories, and seasons greetings with any TAW listeners who’d like to swing by. If you’re coming from out of town, and want to make a truly “historic” weekend of it, I’d certainly recommend a visit to two of San Francisco’s best museums: The Asian Art Museum, and the Legion of Honor, both of which have permanent exhibitions with plenty of amazing ancient art. Oh, and the statue of Ashurbanipal is located right outside the Asian Art Museum, so don’t miss that! And then of course there are also the million other things you can do in San Francisco during any given weekend. I’m sure you’ll figure it out.

Damn! I just saw this. If you have another get-together, please post. I live nearby and would love to swing by.
Sorry you didn't make it David, I'll let you know if I have another listener get-together. Thanks!
Gah! Of course once I discover this exists, it has just finished and I missed the party – and I'm local to you!
Sigh. If you ever have another…
Doh! I'll make sure to put the word out if I have another get-together. Hope you're enjoying the new mini-series! Thanks
