Welcome to the Life of Caesar podcast. My name is Cameron Riley. I'm Ray Harris. And together,

Ray and I are going to take you through 60 odd hours of the life and career of Julius Caesar.

Now, this is kind of the pre-episode to the series because we've got to, we've got to explain a couple of things, Ray.

Now, a lot of people may have come to this series because we've got to we've got to explain a couple of things ray now a lot of people may have come to this series because they've read all of the rave reviews on iTunes

or somebody's told them about it somebody said look this is a deep history podcast but it's

also funny there's a lot of swearing a lot of jokes, a lot of humor, as well as deep, serious history.

But they're going to go listen to the first episode and they're going to go, this isn't funny.

This is not.

This is not funny. So we need to explain what happened here.

So when Ray and I started this show in December 2013, we're recording this in 2017, by the way.

When we started our journey together, we didn't know each other that well.

We'd spoken together once.

So we started doing this series as a fairly serious history podcast.

And about 10 or so episodes in is where we really found our stride.

And we started to introduce the humor

and the jokes and the music and then that's turned into this phenomenon where today we do shows

on Augusta Caesar and Alexander the Great and the Cold War and the Syrian Civil War.

Believe it or not, we find humor in some of those.

So this is just a warning that if you've come to this show, thinking it's going to be full of, you know, humor, you got to give it some time. And it will. Yeah. Yeah, we thought about re-recording the early episodes, but then I thought, no, no, it's nice for people to sort of see the journey that we went on ourselves.

But this is just a warning of what to expect.

Yeah, yeah.

So, so the first 10 episodes, patches on our elbow, after that.
