Inventor of the, "Death Ray," and other ingenious engines of warfare, Archimedes, was perhaps the greatest engineering mind of his time. His inventions and discovered principles are still in use today.

Archimedes Was A Beast

Strider Wilson hosts a podcast delving into history through the perspective of a mature erudite bro. He was one unit away from a history minor at U.C. San Diego, but he does’t let that stop him from examining what it would have been like to be a bro posted up on Bunker Hill or uncovering what the chillest aspect of surrealist art is. Buckle up because Strider will not only venture into humanity's shared past. He will venture within himself. Asking real questions such as, “exactly how tight are pirates,” or “what if he stayed that extra semester in school,” “would my life have been danker?” Strider firmly believes that history is tight because we all should for sure blaze our own trails… but in what direction?

Shogun Is So Sick

We've all been in one at some point in our lives. Most likely during a school commute. Strider would argue that the greatest lessons in life did not occur in the classroom, but rather in the confined space of the backseat on the way to that classroom. Buckle up for a banger of an ep!
