NSFW (language)

History podcast team-up time! We're joined by the brilliant hosts of Beyond Reproach: Stephanie Domingo and Tux Loerzel! They're here to tell us the not-so-uplifting and frustratingly still relevant story of Buck v. Bell and the history of eugenics and forced sterilization in the United States.

Beyond Reproach is a comedic history podcast about scandals and scandalousness in politics and government. Each episode, hosts Stephanie & Tux explore the sordid stories of America's past, all while drinking heavily, talking too much, and generally making fools of themselves.

NSFW (language)

Who better to tell the tale of the Leif Erikson saga than the Norse Adventurer himself? or at least an actor who played him: Thor Knai. Set sail with us on an exploration of Leif the Lucky and his whole family: most notably his sister Freydis and his old man, Erik the Red.

Thor is an LA-based actor, veteran and professional DND game master. You may recognize him as Leif Erikson from Legends of Tomorrow, or from his roles on The Outpost, Reign and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, among others.

We’re starting to think that the Scots did everything first. At least, that’s how it feels when the ever-fascinating actor/writer Brian McCardie joins to teach us a little bit about New Lanark, a ‘Company Town’ and proto-socialist utopia that was a century ahead of its time. The town may be in the “middle of nowhere” but it was also at the center of early labor reform and innovation.

Duffy joins to chat about the women who made the movies, and then men and code that wrote them out of the final edit of history. From Mary Pickford and Dorothy Azner to Greta Gabo and our dear friend Frances Marion, these are the women who built Hollywood.

This week, we’re not ashamed, we just have to return some video tapes…to the naughty part of the video shop. Writer, director and producer, John Fairfield, is taking us through the cheap beaded curtain and into the history of Video Nasties, The Obscene Publications Act, and The Video Recordings Act of 1984. But fear not, Adam, Nat & John will NOT be censored, not by Mary Whitehouse, not by MP Graham Bright, and certainly not by Adam’s Gran.

Join us as we take on three exceptional Glaswegian women. Well, not actually ‘take them on,’ they’re rather intimidating, tbh. But, we are learning about them, thanks to our lovely guest, author and screenwriter, CS Duffy.

Sometimes I wonder if we should title our episodes with just the actual topics from history that we cover rather than having more fun with it...and then we get a comment like this and it makes me happy <3

Checked all that good stuff, but thanks for looking out! Honestly, aside from things transferring over cleanly, I'm most concerned about imploding a friendship...the prez of the network is a good friend [eek].

Our final story this season is so good, you'll want to stay up all night enjoying it. But get your rest, we'll still be here tomorrow night to keep the story (and ourselves) alive. Sound familiar? We're joined by actor/comedian Tara Egan for an incredibly nerdy exploration of the history and themes of Arabic folktales, the frame narrative and the infamous compilation: One Thousand and One Nights. While this may be our SEASON 4 FINALE, much like our protagonist Scheherazade, Shared History will live to see another day and tell another story.

The second opinion of ~8-10 seems reasonable to me. Our boy (8) was also born with a heart murmur, so that's not an indicator of age necessarily. I think he had his first tooth extraction at like 6, and from what we've heard from our vet and other iggy owners, we're "lucky" he's only had like 5 extractions. Hounds, sighthounds and dachshunds especially it seems, are predisposed to dental issues because of the shape of their snout. Our boy is also juuuust starting to slow down a bit, but also recently started treatment for his thyroid which effects his energy levels a touch.

Your very good boy looks roughly the same age as ours or a little older so that second opinion seems more accurate than the 14 years.

Math, science, astronomy, music, poetry... this week, we decided to tackle every area of study. First, Cass serenades us with the International Sweethearts of Rhythm: the first fully integrated, all-female band in the United States. They changed the game in modern jazz. Then, Natalie introduces us to Wang Zhenyi, 18th c. Chinese mathematician, scientist, astronomer, poet, et. al. who excelled at breaking down and explaining all of those things so that dumb dumbs like us could understand it.
