2024/04/09

This week, in part one of a new series, we discuss one of the greatest cons ever perpetrated in the modern age: The 19th century formation of the Congo ‘Free’ State under King Leopold of the Belgians. While in Europe Leopold was lauded as a progressive, modernist monarch, his legacy in Central Africa is one of brutality, suffering, and the wanton slaughter of millions; all in the singular pursuit of profit and financial gain. Buckle up, buckaroos. We’re in for a rough one.Please consider joining

2021/05/05

This week, the Left Unread Nice Guy Specialists (L.U.N.G.S.) discuss a monumental historical figure who has been tragically underrepresented in Western historical discourse: Mansa Musa I, fabulously wealthy and powerful leader of the 14th Century West African Mali Empire. Musa’s immeasurable wealth, and the glory and splendor of his realm, are truly the stuff of legends. He was so wealthy that he single handedly undermined the value of gold in the entire Mediterranean with just one road trip. Also,

Part 2 of 4 in the History of the Kings of Britain series. In this week’s episode of Left Unread, the LU Boys tackle chapters 2 and 3 in Geoffrey of Monmouth’s The History of the Kings of Britain. First, we start back up after Corineus and Brutus beat up some giants, and we go through a list of incomprehensible uncles and nephews, including the gallant Rud Hud Hudibras. We eventually get to Julius Caesar and his landing in Rome, and that’s when things get really stupid. You can of course follow

On January 23, 1959, ten experienced student hikers left the Soviet city of Sverdlovsk on a planned expedition into the Ural Mountains. On February 26 of the same year, nine of them were found dead in the wilderness.

Part 1 of 4 in the History of the Kings of Britain series. In this episode, the Left Unread boys begin their series on The History of the Kings of Britain by Geoffrey of Monmouth, a monumentally stupid story about the mythical founding of Britain by some Trojan guy and the subsequent line of kings and Roman occupations leading up through the Arthurian legend.

First we get into the Matt Gaetz saga, and this one’s got it all, folks. Pay for play Florida politics, sex trafficking, cryptocurrency mines, the intelligence community, dead spies, Tucker Carlson, and more. Then we talk about the absurd, obscure 19th century Portuguese book English As She Is Spoke by Pedro Carolino. And finally we finish with the Erfurt latrine disaster.

Left Unread ·

2021/04/02

Part 2 of 2 in the Tiberius series. In this one, the Left Unread Boys explore the later life and Imperial reign of Tiberius, which is told mostly through his relationships to other major players of the time, and chronicled by a bunch of guys who lived decades after he died and had no problem making up lies about him. So, in short, it's probably all FAKE NEWS, but it's FUN. Enjoy! P.S. If you haven't already, we suggest listening to Episode 7 first, since this is part 2 of a series. Follow the lads

3. The Dark Saga of Varg Vikernes

2021/02/19

Disaffected angry youth have always been players in history, and nowhere was this more apparent then Norway in the Early 90's when a particularly dark heavy metal subculture came to dominate the headlines with a rash of arsons, murders, jailbreaks, and just general...well, Mayhem. Evan and Cam really get to geek out about awful metal trivia in this one. Remember, just because it's recent doesn't mean it isn't history!
