Our goal- even if it ends up being unrealised- is to journey from the Theogony all the way to the fall of Constantinople in 1453 and beyond. This show is just for fun, and we hope you have fun with it too!","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/autocrat-a-roman-history-podcast-6816332"},"episode":{"title":"Bonus XX- In Other News: China in 753 BCE","slug":"bonus-xx-in-other-news-china-in-753-bce","published_at":"2026-03-08T00:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/autocrat-a-roman-history-podcast-6816332/bonus-xx-in-other-news-china-in-753-bce","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/autocrat-a-roman-history-podcast-6816332","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/autocrat/episodes/Bonus-XX--In-Other-News-China-in-753-BCE-e3fnp8k","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/e838e3a0/podcast/play/116171476/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-1-28%2F6ede85e9-e101-21e5-af01-e4eed23992f0.mp3","summary":"Let's take a look at what's going on in China at the time Rome is founded! Today, we give a bit of context for Chinese mythology and history starting in the 27th century BCE and skipping through the Xia and Shang dynasties all the way up until the mess that is the Zhou in 753 BCE. Along the way, we get so many opportunities to mess up the pronunciation of Zhou! Shoe? Joe? Shou? Take your pick! Also, binary numbers.
