June 23, 2020 024 - Revenge of the Ancient Nerds
Grab your library cards kids, because Cass is digging up some Hellenistic beef between Pergamon and Alexandria. That's right, as in "The Library of". Apparently, ancient libraries threw down hard and these two cities' centuries-long turf war for librarial dominance led one to burn out and the other to, well... burn.

We miss sports and we don’t care who knows. So we’re throwing it back to two inspiring sports history stories from WWII: The Unofficial 1944 POW Summer Olympics and The Death Match, which, unsurprisingly, is soccer-related.

May 12, 2020 018 - Selective Memory History
From a Parisian atrocity to a Malagasy monarch, both of our stories today feature challenges in storytelling. In one, because the French would rather forget it happened, in the other, because of unreliable narrators...including the French. We're spilling the tea on the Vel' d'Hiv Round Up in WWII and then spilling blood with Ranavalona the Mad Queen of Madagascar.
