February 26, 2022 The Old Penitentiary: With Behind Gray Walls
Who knew so much history could come out of one place. This week we explore just the tip of the historical iceberg that is Boise Idaho's historic penitentiary. From prison escapes using stollen yarn to Siberian solitary confinement cells, we talk about it all in this week's episode. Anthony and Sky, the co-creators of the Behind Gray Walls, take us through a very brief look at some of the Old Pen's most interesting, spooky, petty, and shocking moments. So why not push play already and get into our first-ever guest episode!

February 21, 2022The Warrior Queens of Kush
History is often shrouded in mystery but this one is a doozy! After sifting through dozens of false articles I finally found the truth about the warrior queens of Kush. They were fearless warrior queens with a knack for diplomacy and negotiations. In a time when women in Rome were being treated as second-class citizens, the women of Kush were living in a matriarchal society. But how did things get so discombobulated? Why don't we know about the successive rule of females I'll tell you how a 12th-century fanfic about Alexander the great and an extremely racist archaeologists change how the world saw the Kush kingdom and its queens.
