2022/12/08

"Once upon a time..." With those four simple words, generations of readers and listeners have been transported to a timeless realm where reality doesn't exist and magic reigns supreme. But while most of us are familiar with the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen and Charles Perrault, fewer still know those of Franz Xaver von Schönwerth. A civil servant by trade, he went on to gather folktales and legends from around his native Bavaria in the early 1860s. But by the time of

Sphere of Influence: The Rise and Fall of Teotihuacán

2022/12/01

At its height, it was believed to be the sixth largest city in the world at the time. But it might surprise you that the place in question wasn't in Europe, Africa, or even Asia, but the proverbial New World. From humble beginnings, Teotihuacán quickly rose to become THE powerhouse in Mesoamerica, whose influences extended from its home base in the heart of Mexico down to the jungles of Guatemala and Honduras. But after its meteoric rise, it all came crumbling down, never to recover ever again. The

Most Americans are familiar with the story BEHIND the Thanksgiving holiday, but fewer know how it came to BE an enduring national tradition in the first place. The process involved several decades of early American bureaucracy, two of the nation's greatest presidents and even the intervention of a magazine editor. But how did all these disparate elements figure into the establishment of the holiday we know and love today? Tune in to this special Thanksgiving episode to find out! --- Support this

2022/11/10

Few military units in American history are as celebrated and revered as the Rough Riders. Formed by then Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Theodore Roosevelt, it was a ragtag band of men from various walks of life willing to prove their might and skill in battle against the Spanish in the Spanish-American War.

Typically, societal collapses occur gradually, with years of slow decline before the inevitable end takes place. But in the subject of today's episode, the first societal collapse in history, the opposite was true, in which the fall came rather swiftly. But what caused so many civilizations in and around the Mediterranean to meet such a rapid demise? A nefarious band of brigands and vagabonds known rather vaguely as the Sea Peoples may very well be the culprit. Tune in to the 'History Loves Company'

As the Romans Do: The Carolingian Renaissance

History Loves Company ·

2022/10/27

When the Roman Empire fell in the late 5th Century, much ancient knowledge was lost. It would take three centuries for any semblance of the old order to return to Western Europe and it would come from a seemingly unlikely source: Charlemagne, the King of the Franks. What caused him to turn to the past? What reforms and changes did he bring about for his kingdom? And how did said changes shape the Western Europe we know today?

It was the event that almost single-handedly started a war, and not just any war, but one of the fiercest struggles for independence the world has ever seen. Famously dubbed "the Shot 'Heard Round the World" nearly a century later by the famed American poet, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, it was the defining moment that would ultimately lead to the American Revolution.

The Big Chill: Amundsen's Expedition to the South Pole

2022/09/29

There was a period, spanning the late 19th and early 20th Centuries, in which study, research and exploration of Antarctica became prevalent. Now known by the awesome(if somewhat romantic) moniker of the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration, it was a time of great scientific achievement and discovery. Of the many events that shaped this important period, however, perhaps none was as influential (to say nothing of epic) as the Norwegian explorer, Roald Amundsen's, attempt at locating the South Pole

Power to the People: The Magna Carta and Its Legacy

2022/09/15

The concepts of rights and liberties are still relatively new. For the longest time, the common people and even nobles enjoyed limited or restricted freedoms while a king or monarch maintained absolute power. But a little over eight centuries ago, the first attempt at limiting the monarchy's power was made in England when one of the most important documents was drafted and signed.

Ethnic enclaves are interesting, as they often are communities of specific groups of people living in a particular, if unlikely, place. Such is the case of the Magyarabs, a people who have called the stretch of the Nile River along the Egyptian-Sudanese border home for the last five centuries. How did these people get there and where did they come from initially? The answer might surprise you. Tune in to the 'History Loves Company' podcast this week to find out! --- Support this podcast:

Otherworldly incidents and encounters are nothing new. Christopher Columbus reported strange flashing lights in the sky off the coast of the Bahamas in 1492. Since then, however, the reporting of such incidents have become far more frequent the world over, though perhaps none was as strange or unusual as that which took place in the small town of Aurora, Texas in 1897.

"Hear Me Roar": Women in Etruscan Society

The Egyptians, the Greeks and the Romans were each mighty and key power players in the Mediterranean world of Antiquity. But there was another civilization that was born on Italy's shores who rivalled them in greatness and were astonishingly more forward-thinking than any of those three combined. For some nine centuries, the Etruscans thrived and astonished their neighbors by granting women equal status to their male counterparts, but what roles did they play in Etruscan society?
