Greg Woolf chats about how he got into studying the ancient world, getting out of the ancient history bubble to talk to people in other disciplines, whether scholarship is a product of its time, diversifying the study of ancient history, and what events the Institute of Classical Studies has got coming up. We also cover how useful social media is for reaching out to people, whether you're always tied to your 'landmark' publications, and why David prefers to avoid his students at the gym.

Greg Woolf is Director of the Institute of Classical Studies in London. To find out what is going on at the ICS: https://ics.sas.ac.uk/
