Happiest of birthdays to our epic motorcycle maenad-in-chief! She is the driving force behind our podcast - our editor and producer (as well as creative genius!). All of the last season - her brilliance! In addition she’s an incredible novelist, author, writer, and creative partner. We’re wishing her many happy returns, research rabbit holes filled with skulls where they shouldn’t be (cult of the severed head), and years of fighting the good fight! Happy birthday, Jenny!

An update on Equinox, my foster. I first had this kitty and his brother Sunburst this spring, and he was so frightened and shut down it seemed impossible to reach him. I had to give him back in June when I went out of town, but when I came back, Equinox came back to me by himself (Sunburst went to another foster). This time was so different! Over two months, he has really come out of his shell. This little guy is talkative, demonstrative, silly, high-energy and so big-hearted. I love seeing foster kittens’ personalities emerge as they lose their fear, and it’s been so rewarding watching him thrive.

Happy, happy birthday to our beautiful Maenad in Chief, Head War Elephant, CEO of Ghost Channeling and all around podcaster extraordinaire, Genn McMenemy! Our podcast would not be what it is without her fierce brilliance, boundless creativity, and ability to see to the red bleeding heart of every historical plot twist. Genn has had a huge year of successes and changes—including publishing the Lore Olympus Cookbook, a collaboration with Rachel Smythe and to bring readers the foods and flavors of Lore Olympus and traditional Greek cooking. And she is currently working on a hilariously funny, brilliant and steamy contemporary romance that we are confident will make a HUGE splash. We (Jenny, plus all the podcast ghosts; yes, even Julius Caesar) feel that big things are going to happen for Genn this year and we can’t wait to see what unfolds.

Genn is sliding into the weekend getting ahead (for once) on some of her projects and enjoying the nice weather. Today her work includes freelance projects, writing, AND her episodes. Here is a look at her office today. Not pictured, Jake (but we know he was around somewhere causing mischief).

It turns out the Goths are a very deep rabbit hole. We’ve got upwards of 13 episodes exploring every aspect of Gothic history, mythology and religion. This history is the backdrop of Julia and Alaric’s story in Enemy of My Dreams. Join us on the podcast to get swept up in a vast epic tale, of which Alaric’s sack of Rome is only a minor rebellion.

Here is Genn, fully in her element discussing women in mythology, mythology in smutty/spicy fiction, and dicks found in random places in Ancient Greece and Rome. She belongs to the best book club run by the epic local indie romantasy bookshop-

The Roman Empire stood for a thousand years. Many causes have been given for its downfall—but if just one group of people could be said to be culpable, it would be the Goths.

They stormed its borders en masse, scored outsized victories that no one had won before, killed two emperors and raised up their own, sacked the city of Rome after a thousand inviolable years; and built their own kingdoms within the Empire’s decaying co**se.

Their name has inspired the names of architecture, literature and fashion into the modern day. Whenever you set the date of the fall of Rome, there’s no question the Goths were instrumental in felling it. So who were these people? Who were the Goths?
In this episode, we’re going to find out.

Tomorrow we launch a brand new season: tracking the fall of the Roman Empire and the sack of Rome by Alaric of the Visigoths. Join us as we look at what caused the end of Rome’s reign. Was it outside forces? Inside forces? Natural disasters? Decadence? The greed and avarice of an empire grown too large and bloated? All of these things? None of them? And if you think there aren’t parallels to modern day… well, you’re wrong.

Get ready for a season that will show you what the world looks like as an empire crumbles, chaos reigns, and everything goes from bad to worse…

Can’t wait until Thursday? Patreon members get to listen to the episode today - a day early and ad free! Sign up: www.patreon.com/ancienthistoryfangirl

In the midst of all that’s going on lately, I’ve been thinking long and hard about how empires end. I decided to take my questions to the people who know.
