Ya, I stumbled upon it in the Itunes store and gave it a try. I picked up the latest edition which talks about the downfall of the Roman empire, great stuff. I particularly like the part where a Roman diplomat was told by an Allied general "I'll get back to you on that" to a demand that was made of him. Whereupon the diplomat drew a circle around him and said that he should have his answer to him before he steps out of the circle, or else. Nice.

It's new to me. I listened to the Roman one too. Lots of parallels and stuff to modern politics to get you thinking.
It's bookmarked now. I'll be clicking around in there. Thanks.
