This week, we head back to the fabled Age of Exploration, when European monarchs were just catching on to the notion that it might be nice to try and exploit the entire world for financial gain. Using the famed disappearance of the Roanoke Colony as our centerpiece, we will explore the social, religious, and economic circumstances surrounding this time period, before digging in to the actual mystery in Part II next week.

Don your ceremonial garb, fanatics, and once more drink of the kykeon. We are again descending into the hallowed sacrificial caverns to explore the nature of the mystery cults on the island of Britannia, and then we shall explore how the cults of the ancient world would give way to the rise of monotheism.

This week, we discuss restaurant grease traps, the joys of Valentine's Day, Elon Musk's juvenile human shield, and we also say 'obsequious' a lot. Like during editing I realized it's kind of egregious. If you guys correctly count how many times we say it Evan won't go into the light.

P.S. The music is bad on purpose in this one I swear.

There are really only three great Slayer albums.

We talk about the AI arms race, the state of affairs with Elon, Vivek, and DOGE, and the pros and cons of benevolent rule by Shamans guided from beyond.

Cam continues his Barbarians series by examining the first of our tribal confederacies: The Goths. Picking up where episode 143 left off, we will discuss who these people were, what brought them into conflict with the Roman world, and where and how they appeared as a dominant cultural force in the rapidly changing cultural landscape of Europe in Late Antiquity.

The return of the Matt Gaetz saga. Pay for play, sex trafficking, cryptocurrency mines, intelligence, dead spooks, autoerotic asphyxiation, Trump’s return to power, the mysterious Nestor, and the chase for Attorney General.
