An Introduction to The Napoleon 101 Podcast from Cameron Reilly on Vimeo.

Welcome to the first episode of Napoleon 101! David and I are very excited about creating this show and the rest of the series.
If you are new to the show, and want to know the background to the series, please read this.

For this first episode, we thought we’d start by giving you a bit of a taste-tester. Before we get deep into the nitty-gritty of his life and career, we’ll take you on a quick journey of what makes Napoleon such an interesting topic for us. For example, we cover:

• How and when did we first get interested in Napoleon?
• What is it about Napoleon that fascinates us?
• The first things everyone wants to know:
• Was he really short?
• Why did he stick his hand inside his jacket?
• Did he really say “Not tonight, Josephine”?
• Was he poisoned or not?
• Top 5 things everyone should know about Napoleon
• He was Corsican
• He rarely, if ever, broke a peace treaty
• He was a workaholic who hardly slept
• He was a genius with a great eye for detail
• The Code Napoleon
• Our favourite Napoleonic event/story/anecdote/myth
• The return from Elba
• The Battle of Austerlitz

If you are new to Napoleon, then we hope this show will give you a taste to learn more. If you are already an experienced hand, then we hope you will enjoy hearing a couple of Napoleon geeks tell the story that you are already familiar with.

While we do have a semi-structured schedule for the show, we would be happy to do a few Q and A shows to answer your specific questions!

Would you like to share Napoleon with someone? Would you like to have a handy backup of the series in case of hard drive failure? Are you new to the series and don’t want to go to the hassle of downloading the old episodes one at a time?
