Bestselling authors and historians Mike Duncan and Alexis Coe are far-flung buddies who slice through centuries with the sharpness of a guillotine. In this wide-ranging series, Duncan, best-known for The History of Rome and Revolutions, and Coe, a presidential historian and senior fellow leave no stone unturned, no sacred cow un-tipped.

Mike is back from his brush with not-quite-death and Alexis offers him no quarter, immediately speculating on 18th-century treatments he mercifully avoided. The actual episode: Their rabbit hole tales of unwoe, from the lexical versatility of "slut" to a totally logical journey from Michael Caine to Mary Todd Lincoln.
In this amuse-bouche of historical schadenfreude and wild speculation about what's really keeping Mike bedridden in Wisconsin, it falls to Alexis Coe to single-handedly salvage their fledgling podcast the only way she knows how: erudition and utter nonsense.
