单集简介 ...

Adam meets leading classicist Dame Mary Beard, who explains what social media tells us about how emperors held on to power in Rome, why shoes are important when talking about power, how many people in ancient Rome really died by being drowned by rose petals, the important roles that apocryphal stories and outright lies play in history and why she replied to every critical message she received following the controversial comments she made soon after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.  Conversation recorded face-to-face in London on April 16th, 2024. Thanks to Séamus Murphy-Mitchell for production support and conversation editing.

  • This is an advert for Squarespace.

  • I took one look at that website and I knew that the woman I have been living with is not my wife.

  • I'd never been any good with computers.

  • So when I showed the website that I had built to sell my paintings to Tom, he just refused to believe that I had made it.

  • And he started telling people that the government had taken his wife and replaced her with an AI.

  • But Debbie had made the website herself.

  • After hearing an advert on a podcast, she had visited squarespace.combuxton and done a free trial.

  • They had all these professional looking templates there, so I chose one I liked and I started typing into it and then I dragged in some pictures.

  • I uploaded a video.

  • Before I knew it, I had a website.

  • I've seen the Matrix.

  • I know that you need big green numbers and a long leather coat to build a website.

  • It's just not that easy.

  • But it was that easy.

  • And when Debbie decided she wanted to purchase her new website, she remembered the offer code from the podcast.

  • I typed in Buxton and I saved 10%.

  • I was jumping up and down and shouting in your face at Tom.

  • And it was around then that he started with the conspiracy theory.

  • Why don't you go to squarespace.com Buxton Tom?

  • And you could see how easy it is to build your own website.
