Former guests Matthijs Wibier and Christopher Burden-Strevens, prosecco in hand, return to put David in the hot-seat, where he talks about what he's learned from doing the podcast, why he got into archaeology, the modern reception of Roman Britain, cringing over old Facebook statuses, and why you shouldn't always listen to your lecturers.

Coffee and Circuses

49: David Walsh (feat. Christopher Burden-Strevens and Matthijs Wibier)

The Roman poet Juvenal once said people are entertained as long as they have 'bread and circuses'. Now we can go one better with coffee and circuses! David Walsh chats to a range of people about their interest in the Roman world: how did they end up working on it? what projects are they engaged in at the moment? where does the study of the Roman world go in future? You can contact the show at coffeeandcircuses@gmail.com, and find David on Twitter @d _ j _walsh Theme tune: 'La Calahorra' by Rolemusic (http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Rolemusic/~/calahorra)
