Have you ever listened to an episode of Betwixt the Sheets and found yourself shouting out,

wanting to interject or ask a question?

Well, I know I have, but I'm actually there in real life.

But now you can be too, because for the first time ever, you can watch Betwixt live.

This September the 4th at the London Podcast Festival. More details will be revealed very soon,

but go and mark September 4th off in your diary right now, and I promise you there will be

everything that you have come to know, love and expect from betwixt. History, laughs, silliness and

swearing. And of course, we will make sure that there is an incredible

guest that you all know and love. For more information, follow the link in the show notes and get

your ticket before they're gone. And apparently they are going quite fast as well. So get on with it,

betwixters. Go, go, go. I can't wait to see you there.

Hello, my lovely betwixters. It's me, Kate Lister, and you are listening to Bertwixter sheets, and we are going to get down and dirty with some historical smut. And because of that, I do have to tell you once again that this is an adult podcast, spoken by adults to other adults about adulty things and an adultly way covering around and adult subjects, Newspread, adult too. We call that the fair do's warning because

if you keep listing and you happen to get upset, well, that one's on you, pal, because fair do's,

we did warn you. Right, on with the show.

Pass the wine. Don't let my goblet run dry.

If popular history is to be believed, the last days of Rome were a wild, orgy-filled, non-stop party of unbridled decadence and excess.

Sounds like a Leeds weather spoons.

But what was it really like?

How did the Romans react when the invaders were closing in?

Were they really ripping the knickers off one another?

Well, I can't wait to find out if you can't.

So let's do it.
