Summary

On this week’s Aftermath, Rebecca Delgado Smith, speaks with Professor of History and Classics at the University of Notre Dame's Rome Global Gateway, Dr. Ingrid Rowland, about the Ancient Roman’s “science” and why they decided to live so close to what she calls a “Bad Volcano.”

Then, Rebecca is joined by Producer Amanda and Fact Checker Chris to reassess their verdict. Will they set Roman Hedonism Free? Is Plate Tectonics off the hook?

They also read a listener email that sheds light on the proper way to discuss mental illness as it relates to the Kanye/Taylor feud.

Reserve your spot for The Alarmist Live Friday the 28th at 5pm PST!

Check out Dr. Rowland’s book, From Pompeii: The Afterlife of a Roman Town.
