This week we talk about Emperor man-child Nero. Join us as we discuss all the things Nero did while ignoring his responsibilities, such as writing bad poetry and reciting it poorly, pretending to win the Olympics, marrying a former slave come eunuch (on his orders), and raping underage children whilst dressed as a lion.
