So what have we learnt from 5000 years of history? This ep we dive into looking how we, as humans, have and have not changed across millenia. Plenty of prickly and controversial topics in this one - politics, progress, revolution, utopia and war to start! The Durant’s bring their shared lifetime of work looking across civilisation into the condense, yet super accessible book. We have both read this multiple times, across a number of years and took away so much more with each sitting.

Today’s episode is inspired by book The Lessons of History by Will & Ariel Durant.

As with each episode, we pluck out what most resonated from the book and how we would like to bring it into our lives.

These are Clips taken from our chat about Rolling Thunder Revue by Martin Scorsese.

An intimate insight into this special tour. Scorsese’s second documentary on Dylan. This “pseudo-doco” as its referred due to the fictional traces, blew both our socks off. We dissect ideas about cults, authenticity, having a muse, masks and craft. You can check it out on Netflix!
