Listen "10. Emperor Sexypants"
Episode Synopsis
This week we try and brute force massive societal change in Rome, with middling to terrible results. No one said setting up a cult was easy, rewarding or actually wanted but you just have to keep trying. Join us on the whirlwind journey of debauchery, assassination and perhaps at the end, a treasure hunt? In other news: How to revitalise a hole, and work out why we keep talking about chimp urine. Trust me, don't be left out of this watercooler moment.
