<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi All,</p><p>Longtime listener Detlef has set up a discussion board for talking about/around/beyond The History of Rome. If you have questions, thoughts, comments or just want a place to hang out where you don&#39;t have to worry about convincing anyone that Roman history is totally fascinating, by all means bookmark <a href="http://forumgallorum.freeforums.org/index.php">the Forum Gallorum</a> and check back often because the episodes themselves are just the beginning of the conversation. </p><p>Have fun while I&#39;m gone,<br />Mike</p><p>PS It has also come to my attention that there is a Facebook fanpage for the show. You&#39;d think that a savvy podcaster like myself would be on top of all the social media sites, but I&#39;m actually pretty terrible at these things.

about time to formally announce that <a href="http://registry.weddingchannel.com/wedding_websites/PersonalWebsite.action?occ=575684011&amp;view=wp&amp;c=575684011&amp;s=10&amp;t=100&amp;p=24&amp;l=48842">The History of Rome is getting married on
September 23rd</a>.* What I have not alluded to is that, after a brief honeymoon,
we are throwing The History of Rome’s Research Assistant in the backseat and
moving to Austin, TX.&#0160;What’s that you say? You couldn’t be happier for
us?&#0160;Well, don’t get too excited, because this does have ramifications for
the show schedule.



</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p>*<em>By an eerie
coincidence this happens to be Augustus’s birthday. The sacred chickens appear
to be gorging themselves.</em> </p>



<p><o:p></o:p>The long and short of it is that The History of Rome is
going to be off the air for about a month. The last show before the wedding will
post Sept 13 and the first show back after the break will be Oct 18. Between
the wedding, the honeymoon and the move, I just don’t think I’ll have the time
to focus enough on the show to make it any good so I’m not even going to try
(and I think the Really-Soon-To-Be-Mrs. History of <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on"></st1:place></st1:city>Rome would have justifiable grounds for an
annulment if she caught me working on the podcast during our honeymoon). 

</p>

<p><o:p></o:p>When it comes to the long term future of the show I want to
address the growing number of calls in the comments for me to press on past 476<span> </span>and cover the <st1:place w:st="on"></st1:place>Byzantine
 Empire in full. I don’t want to shut the door on the idea
completely (because who knows how I’ll feel when it actually comes time to fish
or cut bait), but to be clear: this is probably not going to happen. Not only
is the Byzantine Empire outside my comfort zone academically, but I plan on
heading back to school after establishing residency in Texas and am skeptical
of my ability to keep up the pace of a weekly podcast and knock out a Master’s
Degree at the same time. So, like it says it right there in the header: <em>A weekly podcast tracing the history of the
Roman Empire, beginning with Aeneas&#39;s arrival in Italy and ending (someday)
with the exile of Romulus Augustulus, last Emperor of the Western Roman Empire.</em></p><p><em></em>



</p><p><o:p></o:p>In the long long term, I have enjoyed this all so much that I
would definitely want to return to podcasting when life/school/career permit,
but now we’re talking 2 ½ - 3 years out and in technological terms that’s an
eternity. By that point, to be blunt, podcasting might be obsolete. So while I
have been fiddling off an on with an American History project (that has grown
from a simple, biography driven show on the Presidents to an overarching economic-political
history of the <st1:country-region w:st="on"></st1:country-region>United States*)
and often get lost in Wikipedia pages on Ancient Mesopotamia (Ur! Woooo!), whether or not podcasting <em>per se</em> turns out to be the platform for
those projects remains to be seen.

</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>&#0160;</o:p>*<em>Dear International
Listeners: this will be cool, I promise. <o:p></o:p></em></p>



<p><em><o:p></o:p></em>So to sum up: Episodes for the next four weeks? Yes!
Episodes for the four weeks after that? No. Episodes for another year (or more)
until we get to the fall of the <st1:place w:st="on"></st1:place>Western Roman Empire?
Yes! Episodes after that covering the Byzantine Empire?
Probably not. Some future Mike Duncan history project covering a yet-to-be-determined topic on a yet-to-be-invented
New Media platform? Boy I hope so; I&#39;m having a ball.</p><p>Mike</p><p><em>[Update]: For those of you who are curious, our wedding page is located <a href="http://registry.weddingchannel.com/wedding_websites/PersonalWebsite.action?occ=575684011&amp;view=wp&amp;c=575684011&amp;s=10&amp;t=100&amp;p=24&amp;l=48842">here</a>.
