Yet another episode of Podding Through Time brings us some great topics:

• Who was Ching Shih, and how did she extort the Qing Dynasty?
• Where do Arabs appear in the Bible, and what role do they play in the biblical narrative?
• What historic moment happened in a small town in Britain, in response to US military segregation?
• Why is Russia mobilizing its troops, and what claim does it have to Eastern European territory?
• How many times have we almost accidentally nuked ourselves, and how did it come to that?
