  Dead Authors Club E04: The Man Who Saved England Before It Existed -- Teutoburg Forest, AD 9

  Apr 20, 202639 minS2

  A Roman citizen. Roman educated. Roman knight. He dined with the Emperor. Then he went home to Germany and wiped out three Roman legions in a forest ambush. Augustus spent the rest of his life smashing his head against walls screaming "Varus, give me back my legions!" -- and that's from Suetonius, the imperial biographer, not a Reddit post. Arminius is the Severus Snape of the Roman Empire -- trusted insider who was secretly working for the other side the entire time. He eloped with Thusnelda against her pro-Roman father's wishes. Dad then betrayed her to the Romans as revenge...

  Dead Authors Club E03: The Deer Hound and the Wolf Pack -- Metaurus, 207 BC

  Apr 20, 202629 minS2

  Hannibal had been terrorizing Italy for eleven years. Not an invasion -- more like history's most aggressive Airbnb guest. His brother Hasdrubal was marching south with reinforcements. If they joined forces, Rome was finished. A Roman consul named Claudius Nero -- not THAT Nero, this one lived 400 years before the fiddle-playing emperor -- marched 7,000 men 250 miles in seven days without Hannibal noticing. He fought a battle, won, and Hannibal learned his brother was dead when the Romans threw Hasdrubal's severed head into his camp. Creasy calls it "savage brutality which deformed the Roman national character." When a Victorian imperialist thinks...

  Dead Authors Club E02: The Empire Strikes Back -- Syracuse 413 BC + Arbela 331 BC

  Apr 20, 202634 minS2

  Athens sent the greatest naval expedition in history to conquer Sicily. Every single ship was destroyed. Every single soldier was killed or enslaved. Twenty years later, a 25-year-old Macedonian conquered the entire known world in eleven years. We cover two chapters from Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World by Sir Edward Creasy (1851). Syracuse: how the heroes of Marathon became the villains. Alcibiades -- the most brilliant traitor in ancient history, who defected to Sparta and gave them the playbook to destroy Athens. The night battle on Epipolae where Athenians killed Athenians in the moonlit chaos. The Boeotian brigade that held...

  Episode #1

  Dead Authors Club E01: The Ten Thousand vs The Empire -- Marathon, 490 BC

  Apr 19, 202632 minS2

  Ten thousand Greeks against the largest empire on Earth. The vote to fight was six to five. One man changed his mind. A Victorian professor says that vote saved Western civilization. We fact-checked him with 175 years of hindsight. The Persian army numbers are wrong by a factor of four. The marathon origin story is based on a poem based on a story that never happened. But the battle itself? Still one of the most important afternoons in human history. We cover the 6-5 vote that decided Athens would fight. Miltiades -- the Persian double agent who became Greece's greatest general...

  Book Autopsy S1E03: Atomic Habits -- The Remix Album That Outsold the Originals

  Apr 19, 202640 minS1

  Fifteen million copies. The best-selling nonfiction book of the last five years. And almost nothing in it is original. We autopsied all 20 chapters of Atomic Habits by James Clear from the primary text. The habit loop is Duhigg's from The Power of Habit. The tiny habits concept is BJ Fogg's. The environment design comes from Thaler and Sunstein's Nudge. The identity insight draws from self-determination theory. But Clear organized them better than anyone before him -- and that's genuinely valuable. The 1% daily improvement math is correct arithmetic and completely meaningless biology -- your body doesn't compound like a savings account...
