In Episode 2 of 'The Classics Podcast Does...Careers', Katrina chats to Tristan Hughes, Producer and Presenter at History Hit and the host of The Ancients podcast. They chat Rome Total War, ed tech start ups, studying Down Under, the secrets of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, and whether podcasts can beat TV...

Tristan studied Ancient History at the University of Edinburgh and he is the author of "Alexander’s Successors at War: The Perdiccas Years 323 – 320 BC".

In this series, we meet guests from all walks of life, fascinating people with a connection to classics who lead fascinating lives and we discuss where studying the past can take you; what classicists bring to the workplace (and the world!); how to forge your own path; and the resonance of the ⁠#ancientworld⁠.
