All right, folks, a little off-the-cuff housekeeping, and it concerns the Cleopatra series.

Now, the show you're listening to is the 12th episode in the Cleopatra series, and that makes it the longest series that I've produced since the

show's inception over three years ago.

And it could in all honesty go another four to six episodes. So here's my plan for Cleopatra. I'm

releasing this show now, the one you're hearing, and then I'm going to release

one more right after this one. And then I'm going to release one more right after this one.

And then I'm going to give Cleopatra a little rest.

And she's going to need it for reasons you'll hear soon enough.

And it also seems like if I'm going to take a break from Cleopatra, the next episode's conclusion

is a logical stopping point.

So that will be the close of what I'm going to call Cleopatra Part 1.

And then after that, I'm going to take a little bit of time,

and I'm going to publish a handful of single episode stories

and maybe some two and three part series just to get a little

variety in the mix so that nobody gets stale out there.

And let me just say here that one of the people coming up especially is somebody that you would never expect

to be in this lineup, the Giants of History lineup.

But I've just been reading so much about this person lately and there are just so many stories about them that simply must be shared and

it's fairly relevant to what's happening today.

And then after that I'm going to publish Cleopatra Part 2, and I'm going to do that all at once,

meaning that if there are four to six episodes that come in Part 2, I'm just going to release them all over the four to six days.

And we'll all go right back
