You've stopped someone carrying a large amount of drugs.

He's just a teenager. He's exhausted, scared, not giving you his name, where he's from or where he's going.

He's broken the law, but maybe he really needs your help.

So how'd you get him talking?

If you think you could be a regular or volunteer police constable, such Met careers, change needs empathy.

Change needs you. My name is Simon Boas and I've written a little book called A Beginner's Guide to Dying.

I hope you'll find that it's mostly about living.

It's not a guide for people who are terminally ill as such.

It's more how we can perhaps approach and arrange our lives

so that when your time comes as mine has, you might be able to go gentle into that good night.

The book is available now. Hello and welcome to autocrats. I am Vince one of the co-host and I'm Casey the other co-host

So what is autocrat? Well we are a podcast that is going to be going through the entire

journey of Roman civilization essentially.

That sounds nice. So Roman civilization, what does that mean? Well, we are going to be going from

Greek mythology, the kingdom of Alberlonger. What is that? Alber Longer?

Yeah.

It's basically the state that came before the Roman kingdom.

Oh cool, cool, cool.

And then the Roman kingdom.

Yes, the Roman kingdom, the republic, then going through, you know, empire, what we call

Byzantine but shouldn't. we'll get to that

listeners all the way to Constantine the 11th and beyond.
