I just listened to two guys talking about Rome for 4 hours straight and wish I could listen for 4 more hours.
@KelticTim
Holy shit, almost 4 hours discussing Rome? What a day to be alive.
@koju737
This is Lex at his best. Finding an expert in a random but specific area of interest and doing a deep dive.
@ddjerfi
Bring this man back ASAP. He's fantastic and I'm not that much into history lol. Could listen to him for hours. Greets from Croatia.

Days without thinking about the Roman Empire: 0

I would say this is one of the best podcasts I've listened to this year from Lex Fridman. I sat through the entire 3 hours and 42 minutes, and I still wanted more. This is very rare. Gregory Aldrete is such a great speaker with a great topic. I could feel his passion for the subject, which affected me and was described so vividly. I felt like I could picture the days of ancient Rome through his conversation. Love it. Please do more podcast about Roman Empire!
@chiefinasmith
This might be one of the most interesting discussions I’ve listened to. The explanation on why Brutus felt obligated to betray Caesar was something I had never heard of before and was extremely interesting.
@gilroitto
Fell asleep with YT autoplaying, got this video and been dreaming about the Roman Empire all night
@masroor
I did not have spending 2+ hours listening to a Roman historian on my bingo card today, but here I am. Dr Aldrete obviously loves this topic and is a great story teller. What a joy to listen and thanks to Lex for having this kind of wide-ranging fascinating topics and finding the right people to explore them with. Awesome!
@death_krom_8452
Finally, the topic that is on everyone's mind!
@tommynukes6352
As a fan of ancient Roman history this is one of the best pods I’ve listened to on the topic. Just four hours of interesting facts about Rome. Great work Lex.
@JPJones03223
What a surreal feeling to see my old college professor randomly pop up on my Youtube suggestions. I'm glad I stayed.
@KrishnaKumarGreenPepper
This episode is an absolute masterpiece! Gregory Aldrete's passion for Roman history is infectious, and the way he brings ancient battles, culture, and figures to life is mesmerizing. I could listen to this for hours—Lex Fridman nailed it by diving deep into such an epic topic!
@rufussssss483
Easiest 4 hour podcast I’ve ever listened to that left me wanting more
@HyacintheDelauney
I was watching a show last night on my tablet. My husband had this playing in the background while he was on VR. As soon as I heard how knowledgeable this man was and expansive with details, etc. I turned off my tablet and started watching this instead. It was late, so I ended up falling asleep but restarted it today. Great episode, Lex. And the fact you let the man continue talking with no interruptions. He is obviously very passionate about this. Wonderful, interview. 🎉
@alexpatti1050
Dude is the most vivid story teller. Could literally make a movie just on this video alone.
@mattstakeontheancients7594
Love when he has historians on. My favorite academics being a history nerd.
@Radar0344
Dr. Aldrete is the reason I became a historian and the reason I became a teacher. Absolute legend.
@colecarter2829
Wow, one of the best episodes I've seen. What a great guest. Dr. Aldrete's passion and knowledge practically beam out of him. He's studied legendary orators extensively and definitely picked something up from them!
