This sleepy story about the History of Ancient Rome is the first of two parts, because there were too many things to say for one single episode. The next part about the end of the Republic and the Empire will be out soon. In this episode, I tell you about the origins of Rome, its slow emergence and wars until the 1st Century BC - including the founding of the Republic and the rivalry between the Senate and the plebs, the conquest of Italy, the wars against Carthage, the overseas expansion, figures like Scipio, Marius, Sulla, Pompey, and Caesar, and also life, religion, society, urbanism, and warfare in Roman antiquity.

In this soft-spoken bedtime story, I tell you about the concept of "generation ships": large spacecrafts that would transport dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of people to faraway destinations in the galaxy, over several generations. Even though we are nowhere near seeing one, the technical, biological, and social aspects of such a project are fascinating. So, I review them to explain the main challenges and what possible solutions could be found.

In these new mystery stories set in New York City, we will travel through time at different periods of the history of the city, from its foundation as New Amsterdam to our days. Stories include:
- Captain Kidd's Treasure, which could be hidden somewhere on Manhattan, Long Island or Gardiner's Island;
- The wreck of the HMS Hussar in the East River with a big treasure on board during the American Revolution;
- The Leatherman, a mysterious vagabond who travelled constantly on the same 365-mile-loop in Connecticut and New York for more than 30 years, returning to the same towns every five weeks;
- The disappearance of Judge Joseph Crater, a Supreme Court judge who vanished into thin air in shady circumstances, which illustrates the intense corruption of the 1920s and 30s;
- The existence and sometimes rediscovery of many hidden underground structures, such as the pneumatic tube mail system, the City Hall subway station, the Atlantic Avenue Tunnel and the maze of tracks, platforms, and rooms under Grand Central Terminal.

For thousands of years, cultures rose and disappeared in Mesoamerica. In tonight's episode, we explore Maya and Aztec mythological tales, and I tell you about the sources we have about their legends, their cosmology, and cultural traits that existed across the entire Mesoamerica, like ball games, advanced astronomical knowledge, and the cult of a feathered serpent (Kukulkan for the Maya, Quetzalcoatl for the Aztecs...). We also explore the Aztec pantheon, and I tell you about Huitzilopochtli, Tlaloc, and Tezcatlipoca. Under surprising forms, this heritage can sometimes resurface in contemporary culture, for example with the cult of Santa Muerte.

Tonight's episode takes us on a historical tour of salt. How much is there on Earth? Why did it start to be an important commodity for humans in the Neolithic? How was it extracted and transported in ancient times? We will explore all this, and more: how the taxation of salt helped early states to function, how salt was extracted and transported in medieval times, the history of various food preservation methods using salt, and how it was partially replaced with other techniques such as canning and refrigeration.
