  • Episode 63 - The God-King of Pontus
    Jun 23 2024
    In the first century BC, the Roman Republic is expanding rapidly across the Mediterranean basin. As the legions venture eastward into Anatolia, the Romans are able to divide and conquer all of their enemies, except for one: Mithridates VI of Pontus, also known as the Poison King. Mithridates is more than a mere historical figure; he’s a mythic hero, born under the sign of a shooting star and nearly murdered by his own mother before spending much of his youth in the wilderness. These details may sound made up, but truth is often stranger than fiction, and the story of Mithridates is one of the strangest ever told.

    Bonus Episode – Why Capitalists Make the Best Communists

    In this bonus episode, Dan delves into the nitty-gritty of far-left politics and the history of various ideologies dedicated to the establishment of communism.

    Then he asks the question: What if the best way to build an egalitarian utopia is via the power of capitalism?

    Apologies for the constant birdsong in the background. It was a gorgeous day and I decided to record with the window open. Never again!

  • Episode 62 – Vive L’Empereur!
    Mar 19 2024

    In the sixth and final installment on the French Revolution, Dan takes a deep dive into one of history’s most influential and controversial figures: Napoleon Bonaparte.

    After winning victory for France in Northern Italy, the brilliant young general has the attention of the French Directory. A campaign in Egypt and victory in another war will put Napoleon in a position to become Emperor. But across the English Channel, Great Britain continues a naval blockade and a diplomatic campaign to unite Europe against the new French Empire.

    To hold onto power, Napoleon will battle a series of coalitions, each time hoping it will be the last. Win or lose, one thing is certain: Europe – and the world – will never be the same.

    NOTE: Because this is a very long episode, I have included timestamps for each chapter at the end of this description.
