Byzantium And The Crusades - The Fall Of Byzantium Episode 4 “Alexios Komnenos And The Call To The West”
This podcast series tells the story of the Crusades from the Byzantine angle. It is based on the book "The Byzantine World War" by Nick Holmes. In this episode, we follow the desperate attempts by the remarkable Byzantine Emperor, Alexios Komnenos, to save Byzantium from the host of enemies surrounding it, from Normans to Pechenegs and Turks. This would eventually lead to a plea for help to the West. This plea was the basis for one of the most extraordinary events in history: the First Crusade.
Please take a look at my website nickholmesauthor.com where you can download a free copy of The Byzantine World War, my book that describes the origins of the First Crusade.

Notes
The story of John Cage in the anechoic chamber was first told to me maybe twenty years ago by my friend Dave Panosky one night while walking around Providence. It was precisely the type of story that I wanted to one day make a show to tell. You can find it in a lot of places including in Cage’s own writing.
I first came across the second silent room in Alex Ross’ wonderful, The Rest is Noise.
I also tapped into Puccini and the Girl: History and Reception of Girl of the Golden West by Annie Randall and Rosalind Gray Davis.
Everything Everywhere Daily - The Most Dominant Athlete Ever
Question: Who is the most dominant athlete of all time?
It's an interesting question and one which has started endless pub debates. Is that a basketball player like Michael Jordan, a baseball player like Babe Ruth, or a soccer player like Lionel Messi?
Or maybe it's an athlete in an individual sport like Tiger Woods, or Serena Williams.
My answer to the question of who is the most dominant athlete of all time might surprise you.
