In the second episode of Podding Through Time, Jacob and Evan talk about even more great history topics, carrying on from last time:

• What were Otto von Bismarck's policies regarding the relationship of the Prussian state to the Catholic Church?
• When did agriculture first begin in New Guinea and which crops do we owe to their neolithic agricultural revolution?
• What was the curious origin story of King Haakon IV of Norway, who brought the medieval kingdom to the height of its golden age?
• What does the conclusion of the First Opium War have to do with the ongoing political situation in Hong Kong?
• Who was Simo Häyhä and how does his record as a soldier and sniper compare to Lady Death from the last episode?
