Calendar Reform (Encore)

May 7, 2026 • 15 mins
Our calendar and system of keeping time are rather unique.  It isn’t nice and tidy like the metric system. It is a collection of odd time units, leap years, and rotating calendars.  As such, many people throughout history have thought that they could do better.  So they have made proposals for changing our calendar, some of which would be very different from the one we are used to.

Laos: The Forgotten Nation of Southeast Asia

May 6, 2026 • 15 mins
Landlocked and often overlooked, Laos sits at the crossroads of Southeast Asia, shaped by empires, rivers, and war.  From the rise of the Lan Xang kingdom to centuries of domination by neighboring powers, from French colonial rule to its role as a Cold War front, its history is anything but quiet.  It is a story of gradual change, shaped by geography, politics, and external influences.

In 1633, one of the greatest minds in Europe stood before a tribunal, not for a crime of violence or treason, but for an idea.  Galileo Galilei had looked to the heavens and reached a conclusion that challenged centuries of accepted belief.  What followed was a confrontation between observation and authority, with consequences that would echo for centuries.  Learn more about the trial of Galileo Galilei and its legacy on this ep...

Julius Caesar's Quadruple Triumph

May 3, 2026 • 14 mins
In 46 BC, after 12 years away, Julius Caesar finally returned home to Rome.  A lot had changed since he was last there. The entire Roman system had been upended, and he was now the man on top. To celebrate his homecoming, he did something that had never been done before or since. He didn’t just hold a triumph in his honor; he held FOUR.  For some in Rome, it was the greatest thing they had ever seen. For others, it confirmed the...

Horse Racing: From Ancient Chariots to the Modern Track

May 2, 2026 • 14 mins
For thousands of years, humans have gathered to watch horses run.  What began as tests of speed and endurance on ancient plains evolved into chariot races before roaring crowds, royal competitions in medieval courts, and eventually a global sport worth billions.  Along the way, it shaped breeding, fueled gambling, and reflected the rise and fall of empires.  From the thunder of hooves in antiquity to the precision of modern race...

The Resurrectionists: Grave Robbers Who Built Modern Medicine

April 29, 2026 • 15 mins
In the early days of modern medicine, some of the most important scientific breakthroughs depended on a deeply disturbing underground trade.  Under the cover of darkness, gangs known as Resurrectionists robbed fresh graves and sold bodies to anatomy schools hungry for cadavers.  Their work helped train doctors and advance science, but it also terrified the public and reshaped laws, ethics, and culture.  Learn more about the Resu...

Bernardo de Gálvez: Forgotten Hero of the American Revolution

April 28, 2026 • 16 mins
When Americans tell the story of the Revolutionary War, the focus usually falls on Washington, Jefferson, and the battles fought in the thirteen colonies.  Yet independence was also won through foreign support. Some of it, in France's case, was quite overt.  Spain also supported the American cause, but its support was more covert.  At the center of it all was a Spanish commander whose campaigns crippled Britain and helped make vi...

Jakob Fugger: The Richest Man in History

When you think of the richest people in history, you usually imagine kings, emperors, or maybe modern tech billionaires.  Yet 500 years ago, one merchant banker from Augsburg may have been wealthier than all of them.  He financed emperors, influenced papal politics, controlled vital mines, and helped shape the future of Europe.  Despite his wealth and power, few people even know his name today.
