184 - Roman Emperor Caligula (and his crazy antics)

Rome's third Emperor Caligula was arguably its craziest. It turns out being sex obsessed, violent, rich and all powerful isn't a great combination for the leader of the world's most powerful empire. From declaring war on the ocean to declaring himself a living god... He really had a lot of crazy antics.Support the show and get rewards like bonus episodes: www.patreon.com/DoGoOnPod Submit a topic idea directly to the hat: dogoonpod.com/Submit-a-Topic Details about the Koh Samui International Podcast Festival in Thailand in June: dogoonpod.com/eventsTwitter: @DoGoOnPodInstagram: @DoGoOnPodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/DoGoOnPod/Email us: dogoonpod@gmail.comBook tickets to Matt's stand up show (at the Sydney Comedy Festival) with the early bird discount code: dogoon via mattstewartcomedy.com/gigs  Check out our other podcasts:Book Cheat: https://omny.fm/shows/bookcheatPrime Mates: https://omny.fm/shows/prime-mates Our awesome theme song by Evan Munro-Smith and logo by Peader ThomasSources/Further Reading: Hosted on Acast.

178 - Fleetwood Mac, The Making Of 'Rumours'

Released in 1977, 'Rumours' is Fleetwood Mac's eleventh album and would go on to become one of the best selling albums in history. But being the scenes, the band were really struggling during the recording. With two inter band relationships splitting up, a whole lot of affairs, a ridiculous amount of drugs and very personal songs written about each other... it's a miracle they were able to record anything, let alone one of the greatest albums of all time.Support the show and get rewards like bonus episodes: www.patreon.com/DoGoOnPodSubmit a topic idea directly to the hat: dogoonpod.com/Submit-a-TopicTwitter: @DoGoOnPodInstagram: @DoGoOnPodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/DoGoOnPod/Email us: dogoonpod@gmail.comBook tickets to Matt's stand up show (in Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane and Melbourne) with the early bird discount code: dogoon via mattstewartcomedy.com/gigsCheck out our other podcasts:Book Cheat: https://play.acast.com/s/book-cheatPrime Mates: https://play.acast.com/s/prime-mates/Our awesome theme song by Evan Munro-Smith and logo by Peader ThomasREFERENCES AND FURTHER READING:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ3_Y93BJ4HvwiawUKHCeuBXYWzc1d6Mmhttps://vintageking.com/blog/2017/11/fleetwood-mac-rumours/https://www.soundonsound.com/people/fleetwood-mac-go-your-own-wayhttps://www.ranker.com/list/true-stories-behind-fleetwood-mac-rumours-album/melissa-sartore Hosted on Acast.
