You Are There
The Assassination of Julius Caesar
by
You Are There brings pivotal moments from history to life as if they were unfolding in real time. Reporters on the scene interview participants and witnesses, while correspondents relay developments from the heart of the action.
The program blends historical drama with the language and conventions of a live news broadcast. In this installment, the subject is the assassination of Julius Caesar, placing listeners amid the events surrounding one of ancient Rome’s most consequential political killings.
Its distinctive appeal comes from the contrast between familiar modern reporting and the distant past: urgent dispatches, eyewitness perspectives, and dramatic scenes make history feel immediate while keeping the focus on the people and choices at its center.
