For the whole of August, we’re celebrating hitting 1 Million downloads with a huge competition.
We’re giving away a genuine Roman Denarius from the time of Jesus – a Tiberius Denarius, to be exact, issued between AD 14-37.
It was a day’s wages in Jesus’ day. It’s worth considerably more today, and the one I’ve sourced is a beauty. It comes with a letter of authenticity and the excitement of owning a wonderful piece of ancient history.
You’ll also receive a new Amazon Kindle Paperwhite e-reader and a $150 Amazon voucher to fill it with a heap of history books, obviously. We’ve also got 10 more Amazon Kindle’s and book vouchers for our runners up.
You can enter once, or for more chances to win, the team has set up a treasure hunt for hidden codes that allow you extra entries. Collect the codes in our upcoming episodes throughout August, and follow the Undeceptions Network on Facebook and Instagram where the team will also be releasing hidden codes throughout the month.

A huge thank you to all our listeners who helped us to reach this milestone! A million downloads is beyond our imagination, and we are so grateful for your ongoing support.
The song 'Christmas Time' was written by John's mate Ben Shaw, with some help from John himself. We recorded Ben’s beautiful guitar parts just 4 weeks before he died of cancer.
Ben was on this podcast a couple of times in his last months, so we hope regular listeners think of him as their friend, too.
He died a year ago today, June 17. And we’re releasing the song in his memory – it was one of his last big wishes that we take this song, which he and John had performed many times over the years but had never recorded, and rework it with a full band and release it. That’s what we’ve done.
You’ll hear the entire song at the end. In the meantime, we sat down with our long-time music producer Colin Benvenuto (and his guitar) and Ben’s wife Karen, a backing vocalist in the song, and we chatted about … well, Ben … and how the song came together.
If you want to see a little more, we’ve produced a video montage for the song over at undeceptions.com/christmastime.
