Jasmine Elmer has a mission - to make everyone love the Classics as much as she does. Each week she'll tackle a different subject, with the aid of a special guest, to explain how the Greco-Roman era has influenced virtually all aspects of modern life. This is the classics podcast that talks as much about modern life as the ancient world. No prior revision required!
Emma Jane Palin, interior blogger and stylist joins Jasmine today to chat about how much inspiration our current homes draw from classical interiors. Alongside the more expected chats about mosaics and marble there's also talk of what every Deco magazine celebrities want to be featured in and even how current music bands are referencing furniture items that have classical provenance!
