Hi, history at listeners. Everyone loves the ancients with the Tristan Hughes in the office. We call them the Tristorian.

We make fun of him, but now he's a monster broadcaster in his own right. So it's less funny than it used to be. The jokes on us.

He's an absolute legend. He convinced us years ago that there was an appetite for ultra detailed ancient history in a podcast format.

And you know what? He was right. If frankly the classical fair you're getting on this podcast is too meager,

then you need to get involved in the ancients. He goes really deep. You can love it. Check out the instance with Tristan Hughes where we get your podcasts.

It's the ancients on history. I'm Tristan Hughes your host and in Stays podcast where we're talking all about food in ancient Greece and Rome.

Finally, we're talking about the all important parts of our lives of human lives through history. Food.

And it's about time we talked about food in ancient Greece and Rome in particular today.

He's got his own podcast, the delicious legacy podcast. He's got his own YouTube channel where he releases really cool videos of him recreating ancient dishes and having, I can say, an ancient dinner party in the modern world.

And so we have Tom right on our doorstep. We have Tom at history hit. So we are the ancients team. We just like, okay, Tom, we've got to get you on the podcast.

We'd love to come over to your house. We'd love for you to recreate some ancient dishes for us for a very special podcast all about food in ancient Greece and Rome.
