    "An Idle and Most False Imposition"; The Shakespeare Authorship Question - Part Two: The Baconian Heresy
    Apr 30 2024
    In the second part of a special WEEKLY 4-part series on the Shakespeare authorship controversy, I look at the first candidate put forward as being the person who supposedly wrote the works attributed to Shakespeare, and the madness that this theory engendered.

    "An Idle and Most False Imposition"; The Shakespeare Authorship Question - Part One: Drama's God
    Apr 23 2024
    In the first part of a special WEEKLY 4-part series on the Shakespeare authorship controversy, I look at Shakespeare's deification as a godlike literary figure, examine the dearth of information about him, which led to many forgeries and much conjecture, and trace the development of baseless doubts about his identity.

Intelligent and interesting. Great for driving.

Nathaniel had a great voice and good Cadence. The information is great to hear, and it covers things you would not have thought of before.

Essential Understanding of Origins of USA

This is an extremely well developed understanding of White Supremacy in USA Origins and Andrew Jackson's use of racist theory to ground his Indian Removal Act of 1932. I do not understand why this Podcaster does not know the proper use of the word Myth. Myth should not be used to define a falsehood so hopefully he will apologize and resend his misleading use of the word MYTH or MYTHOS which are Ancestral Narratives of a People's Most Beloved Truths. So I want to rate this Podcast with the highest regard for his work I also need to "school' him on his misappropriation of the word :Myth which should be understood as highly valued Ancestral Advice. So with this said I want to say this is an extremely valuable podcast that teaches how Mormonism and White Supremacy go hand in hand with the genocide of Native American People.
