This episode I discuss the interwar period between the First and Second Punic Wars which I have dubbed the Inter Bellum Punica. This episode will serve as a precursor to next episode where I discuss the Second Punic War, also known as the Hannibalic War in our sources. The first part will be on Carthage’s expansion into Spain while the second part will be on Rome’s wars with the Celts in Italy.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
