Summary

Liv speaks with Meg Finlayson (@agameganon on Twitter) all about Alexander the Great and Macedon. They talk history and mythology, especially in relation to the 2004 movie (but you don't have to have sat through those 3 hours, don't worry!).

CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.

1:18.0	We talked through more than 150 tracks from McCartney's songbook and while we did we recorded our
1:26.4	conversations. I mean the fact that I dreamed the song yesterday leads me to believe that it's not just quite as cut and dried as
1:37.2	we think it is.
1:38.2	And now you can listen to our conversations in our new podcast, McCartney, a life in lyrics.
