The Bards with Beards E11: Punica
The Bards with Beards Podcast
The longest Roman epic is not actually Vergil's Aeneid, but rather a little-known epic on the Second Punic War of about 12,000 lines of poetry. Join us as we discover why so few people know of it. It might shock you, but the reason why it is so unknown, is that it's not very good.

About Podcast
Have you ever wondered How much of 'Gladiator' actually happened? Whether William Wallace ever did half the things 'Braveheart' said he did? Whether the crowds were really chanting Queen lyrics in the 14th Century of 'A Knight's Tale'? Or if any of that even matters when the story is just that good?
If you've ever found yourself in one of those situations, tune in for The Bearded Bards Podcast: a weekly discussion and exploration of the greatest (and not-so-greatest) moments in history, literature, and cinema, and where those three intersect.
