  • Normans in Paris

    France was on fire last week, and Kilts wrote an article about the rioting and the internet commentators declaring that France is now in a Race War. But what if France isn't in a race war? What if France is having an identity crisis? Join us as we look the France of Alexander Dumas, pick up the sword pf the Holy Roman African Saint Maurice, and ask ourselves what do we do about Normans in Paris?—Streamed July 19, 2023 —Kilts Khalfan, "Normans in Paris" https://news.gab.com/2023/07/normans-in-paris/

  • What Women Really Want
    What do women want? The Ark returns to break down the complex desires of the female sex. We draw inspiration from Simone de Beauvoir, Rosie the Riveter, The Addams Family, and ask ourselves if women are totally Clueless. Are women really out for equality and sovereignty over men, or do women want something else? And if they know what they want, why is it so hard for them to just admit it? —Streamed July 12, 2023

  • The Four Senses of Storytelling
    How do you read stories like Dante? The Pigeon and the Professor discuss why works like The Divine Comedy seem so difficult for modern readers to enjoy. There has been a collapse of reading ability in European culture, so what are we missing? If you want to read the great works of your own folk cultures, join us for a lesson in Medieval vision. You might already be doing it. —Streamed June 28, 2023The Four Senses of Draco Alchemicus: https://fencingbearatprayer.blogspot.com/2023/06/the-four-senses-of-draco-alchemicus.html

  • You Best Start Believing in Faerie Stories
    Mirror, mirror on the wall, does Modernity understand itself at all? In this episode RFB lays down the Faërie lore, and the Ark sees itself sailing in the Brothers Grimm fairy tales. What kind of power do these stories have on the human heart and on entire nations of people? Join us as we rediscover knowledge of the ancient tales that have been loomed into the modern retellings, as we resurrect our love of the great fairytale of history. —Streamed June 14, 2023

    In this special episode, RFB and Kilts welcome our first guest pirate aboard the Ark! Captain Zodiac walks us through the science and art of Astrology, describing the influences of the heavenly bodies on our own.

  • What Men Really Want
    In this episode, RFB reads from The Oxford Book of English Verse to find the secrets men have left behind, revealing in shocking detail what they think about and desire. Men's poetry suggests that what they truly want is very different from the clichéd desires of the advertising world, that has created caricatures of men without hearts, brains, or beauty. Do men really want love? That and more... —Streamed May 31, 2023

  • Art War

    What if we told you that “Star Wars” is the basis of Western Civilization? The Professor explains the origin story of DRACO ALCHEMICUS, as the Pigeon weaves in and out of various themes getting lost in fairyland. How did George Lucas come up with the idea for an intergalactic war of empires? Could it be that Edmund Spenser was the muse for our civilization all along? —Streamed May 24, 2023

  • Once and Future Charles

    The Professor and the Pigeon invite you to a royalist stream as the Ark considers King Charles III’s coronation. Did England just waste an enormous amount of taxpayer money on useless pomp, or did this event have a value for the British peoples, especially those in the modern world that desire dragons? — Streamed May 17, 2023
