Fast Past

Piggybacking a little bit off of our last episode, Rome, today's discussion is surrounding a rival of Rome, his rise to power, wierd habit, and his eventual demise by those closest to him.

We knew taking this road would lead us here eventually. In this episode we summarize some of the high and low points of ancient Rome. We talk about inventions, emperors, Caesar, and more. We don't go too in depth but this is just a taste of Roman cuisine.

On this Thanksgiving day we give thanks to our family, and to our country. Well mostly our families and we talk about a time when people had much less reason to be thankful to the country. Thanks to our special guest Trevor for teaching us something new.

Another lesser known part of history that needs to be acknowledged. This is the story of the evils of imperialism and the effect it can have on the world as a whole. This is but one of many examples and today we go into a bit more detail.

A major failure with long lasting ramifications, join us as we discuss the goings on of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor and the fact that it could have been worse than it was.

Well known Confederate war general Robert E. Lee is going to be brought under scrutiny. Did he really support secession? What happened after the war? Also, we touch on his large and wierd family.

We made a mistake and got drunk before recording and then talked about the events in Salem Village, Massachusetts. It's a really long episode because we went on quite a few tangents... We hope you enjoy anyways!

Today we discuss the concept of genocide, the atrocities in Rwanda, and the negligence of the UN and the world as a whole.

In a three sided war who comes out the victor? The battle we are talking about is quite possibly the most important battle of the Three Kingdoms Era. It can get a bit confusing so hold onto your butts.

We are all familiar with the fact that nuclear bombs were dropped on the Japanese by the US to end WWII, but who was involved? Who sold secrets? And more importantly was it necessary to drop the second bomb? Join us as we discuss The Manhattan Project.
