Spartan slaves, Spartan women, and the role of historical fiction in our society.

All that and more on this bonus episode of Our Fake History.

Hit the bonus theme.

Hello and welcome to a very special bonus episode of Our Fake History.

You know me. My name is Sebastian Major.

And normally, this is the podcast where we explore historical myths and try to determine what's fact, what's fiction, and what is such a good story that it simply must be told.

But this week, we are trying out a little something new.

Over the years, I have been experimenting with different ways to get more Our Fake History goodness out to you.

For a while, we were doing the throwback episodes. I would record a special new introduction to a classic episode of Our Fake History, and I'd put those out between series.

Now, that was fun, and I'm definitely still going to be using throwback episodes during our season break at the end of August.

But it was time to try something new, and something I've always enjoyed doing is engaging

with the listeners.

You folks often have really great

questions for me. I have done Q&A episodes in the past, but I thought it would be fun to do

smaller series-specific feedback episodes in between our series. So I'm calling them bonus episodes.

This is the first one.

I hope you dig what we are doing here.

Now, if you're listening to this, you're like,

oh, how can I get in on the next one?

No problem.
