Episode notes

We celebrate the outstanding performance of Sir Brian Blessed in Episode 4 of I, Podius. On this episode, hosts John Hodgman and Elliott Kalan recap episode four of I, Claudius, “Poison is Queen.” We say goodbye to a few of our favorite characters and we’re introduced to the cunning and ambitious Sejanus played by a young Sir Patrick Stewart! Plus, more dispatches from the empire from listeners like you, producer Jordan Kauwling gets her mom Avis’ reaction to the smoke show that is Patrick Stewart with hair and more!
