Writer, broadcaster, and comedian Natalie Haynes joins Lexie to discuss learning how to mix stand-up comedy with Classics into a unique path, why academic writing is often bad, boring, and made to be inaccessible to a wider audience, and learning rules in order to break them. So tuck in your togas and hop aboard Trireme Transit for this week’s exciting odyssey! Don't forget to follow us on Twitter, Facebook & Instagram or visit our website www.theozymandiasproject.com!

Originally recorded May 6, 2021.

Note: Apologies, but my normal mic died toward the end of the recording so I was forced to record using my headphones and thus my audio quality isn’t the best in the last 15-ish minutes.
