Introduction

This is episode CXCVIII, Octavia. As the older sister to Octavia, later Augustus, and a wife of the powerful figure Antony,. She was respected and admired by her contemporaries for her loyalty, nobility and humanity. Also, before we get started in today's podcast, I'd like to welcome Rhiannon's Transforming the past class. This third year class at La Trobe University is with us today to watch the behind the scenes of how the podcast is done. Think about carefully if you want to ask, but also to look at some of the technical issues at how we do the podcast. Welcome, class.
