Gladiators

Gladiators were armed combatants who entertained audiences in the roman empire in violent confrontations with other gladiators, wild animals and condemned criminals...most gladiators were despised slaves (the others of their class being actual slaves and actors) schooled under harsh conditions and socially marginalised;...though they could win admiration from the crowds in the coliseum, the gladiatorial games lasted for nearly a thousand years and can be thought of as an early brutal version of professional sports...so today we take a deeper look at one of the most awful but fascinating practices of the ancient romans

About the Podcast

Dude! Nature
The longest running (and most popular) science podcast for those of us who got kicked out of class for throwing pencils at the ceiling. Adam and Noah are skeptical twin brothers whose separate journeys through professional science and engineering led them to a ridiculous notion: that reality is strange and barely understood. Unfortunately they just didn't have the attention span to listen to any science podcasts without wanting to gouge their eyes out with a spoon.

If you've ever wanted to listen to more podcasts about cosmic quandaries, evolutionary mysteries, and giant creatures living underneath the ice of rogue planets but just can't stand academic rambling delivered with a nasally voice, then this podcast is for you.
