Is it history or is it trivia?
Learn about the Ides of March, why 15 March 44 BC was significant for Julius Caesar, then listen for the neat segue to over 2000 years later and George Gershwin – with some culinary history/trivia in between.
Not to mention the music, rousing to restful and everything in between.
