Socrates said it best, “Hey, ho, Western Civ. has got to go!” Well, maybe that was the Saucy boys of HAG, but either way, tune in to Episode 26 to find out why it’s time to put that hot mess of Eurocentric nonsense called the Western Civilization course out to pasture. And that’s only the appetizer, as you’ll be hungry for our main course interview with the brilliant Molly Warsh, the University of Pittsburgh scholar and author of American Baroque: Pearls and the Nature of Empire. Sail along with us on a high seas global adventure as Molly recounts her unexpected discoveries in research, from the archives of Portugal to the river banks of Scotland, and a VERY special back room tour of the London city museum. Hint: Molly learned that if the 400 year old diamond ring fits, you gotta wear it. There are jewels galore in Episode 26, so be sure to tune in, but remember, if it’s American baroque, don’t fix it!
