This is a tribute to Ancient Rome Refocused and a story about how the Twilight Histories came into being. You'll hear stories from the earliest days of history podcasting (2007-2010), and you'll learn how the Twilight Histories was formed from those early works of podcasting history... Hardcore History, The History of Rome and of course... Ancient Rome Refocused. How do you create a podcast? How do you find your unique podcasting voice? How can you overcome those early failures? You'll discover the podcasting journey of Jordan Harbour from the Twilight Histories. You'll also hear Episode 2 from Ancient Rome Refocused called Time Travel is Easy, History is Hard. This was the seminal work that led to the final form used by the Twilight Histories and it is an incredible honour to show it to you. It has long since been taken down.

Greetings, Comrades! We've been pretty dark this year, this year has been pretty dark this year, so we decided to go completely silly. And dark. And myths. Okay, sorry about the puns. Basically, I love the British panel show QI. And like all podcasters, we do like a bit of a vacation. So, we came together with other podcasts - Twilight Histories, Astonishing Legends, Rumor Flies and Blurry Photos and made a tipsy parody of QI, hopefully Stephen Fry won't kill us. It contains a lot of facts and a lot of banter from your favourite podcasts. Merry Christmas, everyone! Hopefully, you'll get a good laugh. See you on the 28th, with our question/answer show! We'll post updates on social media on the specific times! And finally: You know, I run not only this, but also the Dark Myths podcast - https://www.acast.com/darkmyths/ It's let's mysterious than it sounds, it's basically me, interviewing other other members of that podcasting community. If you listen to any other shows in our collective, you might find... Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Greetings, Comrades! In this episode we take a look at how childhood looked like in the USSR. A fair warning, as this episode might not be suitable to children. Not because it's explicit – but because they might get some ideas about misbehaving. Then again, that's the Soviet way. Today's picture – Soviet Pioneers, giving the traditional salute, in a ceremony. And don't forget to check out Dark Myths – especially Twilight Histories and Rumor Flies, which are the recommendations for this week! Oh, and please fill our survey! Do Svidaniya, Tovarishci!

October 26, 2015 - What if John Wilkes Booth's gun had misfired? And what if we could blast off to a Mars colony founded by the Carthaginians, or head 250,000 years into the past when a race of giants dominate Africa? Writer and archaeologist Jordan Harbour, explores stories like these at the Twilight Histories podcast. And like a David Lynch film, things keep getting weirder. The Twilight Histories is a podcast, Jordan says, that should be listened to in the dark. So turn out the lights, lower the brightness on your smart phone, and enjoy our upcoming interview with Jordan Harbor... if you dare.

This week we have our second 'Let's Talk' episode; this time our guest is the host of the Twilight Histories Podcast, Jordan Harbour. Jordan and I venture into Alternative History and imagine what would happen if Carthage had won the Punic Wars. We muse over the fate of Italy without Rome, civil war at Carthage, a Carthaginian monarchy with Hannibal as king, the effects of Carthage meddling with the Jews, who would win a fight between Hannibal and Philip V of Macedon, how Europe would cope against the Huns without Rome, and of course the inevitable Buddhist Europe. Want to know how we get there, you have only to listen!

An exploration into imagination and archaeologyIn this episode Venus (the statue of the goddess) takes us on a journey across time. Jordan Harbour of the popular podcast Twilight Histories is interviewed (providing us insights into alternate histories of Ancient Rome)..https://www.twilighthistories.com/There is a book review of "A Guide to Archaeological Field Methods" with commentary by the late William Glover, archaeologist and historian.

Dramatic Narration: The episode starts out with a modern version of the Aeneid. Please forgive me, Virgil. Annie meets a guy visiting from overseas and conspires to keep him in Chicago so she can work her charms on him. It's a chicklit with the makings of a great chickflic, that is all based on the Aeneid. The author Natalie Haynes is interviewed by Rob Cain on her book The Ancient Guide to Modern Life. The show concludes with a plug for the hot new podcast TWILIGHT HISTORIES by Jordan Harbour.https://www.twilighthistories.com/The episode titled: ROME INDUSTRIAL features a Rome that has not fallen.

The episode starts with a modern version of the Aeneid. Please forgive me, Virgil. Annie meets a guy visiting from overseas and conspires to keep him in Chicago so she can work her charms on him. It's a 'chicklit' with the makings of a great 'chick movie.' Do you hear that SONY PICTURES? Mr. Cain then interviews Natalie Haynes who has written the book THE ANCIENT GUIDE TO MODERN LIFE. How modern are our lives? Or are we still living the lives our ancestors lived? Whether political, cultural, or social, there are endless parallels between the ancient and modern worlds. Whether it’s the murder of Caesar or the political assassination of Thatcher; the narrative arc of the hit HBO series, The Wire, or that of Oedipus; the popular enthusiasm for the Emperor Titus or President Obama – over and over again we can be seen to be living very much like people did 2,000 or more years ago. It’s time for us to re-examine the past.
