This is the intro lecture to American history that my students get every semester (with the addition of a bit of extra sarcasm), which opens on the history of European Colonialism in the Americas. Press play to hear why Europeans crossed thousands of miles of ocean just to oppress the natives and steal all their shit.

I planned for this episode to go more into the colonization of America by Spain originally, but I've had a cold all week and recording even this much was a strain for my vocal cords. So I cut this intro episode a bit short.
