Spearpoint is a podcast about Alexander the Great. Join Malcolm Mann and Dr. Frances Joseph as they explore the life and times of one of the most extraordinary men ever to live. In thirteen short years, Alexander conquered the Persian Empire, taking his army from ancient Macedonia into India. Undefeated in battle, Alexander saw himself in the image of Achilles and Heracles. In Spearpoint, Malcolm and Frances explore not only what makes Alexander so famous, but his origins and his influence on the world, which continues even today. It's an epic tale of gods, men, glory and tragedy.

Alexander's Lovers

Who were Alexander the Great’s lovers? Meet Roxane, the Little Star, Stateira II and Parysatis, Persian princesses and daughters of Great Kings, Bagoas, a resourceful eunuch, and – most famous of all - Hephaestion, the Macedonian general who stuck by Alexander from childhood to death, through thick and thin, yet whose relationship with the conqueror is still covered in mystery.

In Alexander’s Lovers Malcolm and Francis enter the heart of Alexander’s life. They look at the famous and obscure of those who caught the king’s eye, tackle the politics, and, along the way, explore the really big issues: beards, biscuits, and debatable parental decisions made in the service of love!
