History within educational systems focuses on the transfer of power through time. However, Jessica Cale is a different kind of Historian. On her podcast, Dirty, Sexy History, she explores an unsanitized version of history focused on regular people, sex, and many colorful characters that don't often appear in textbooks. 

In this episode we discuss the history of sex, how our modern sensibilities compare to those who came before us, and then we spend some time discussing near-death experiences and the importance of empathy.
