After a little too lengthy discussion of New Years, we return to Columbus. We cover his third and fourth voyages and reflect on the impact he had on history. We also get into a little about Dante!

Although this episode includes lots of aliens and too much halloween, we do learn much about the 2nd voyage of Columbus and the infamous Borgia family. We also dicuss an interesting take on history and the future of Europeans at the turn of the 16th century.

We finally begin the story about the man who was determined and pursued his idea which changed the world! We both learned some things we did not know...and hope you will, also.
