EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED - come with the gang as we explore the origins of Mardi Gras beginning around Proto-Indo-Europe (PIE) through to the months long celebrations across the world today. We discuss the seeming inter-connectedness of everything as we find ties to some of the history we've covered on past episodes and see Mardi Gras/Carnival origins in the festival of Lupercalia and the changes brought on by Christianity's influence on Greece and Rome.
