How complex was Oedipus? How do you solve a problem like Medea? Nero or hero? Alexander, how Great?
We're talking interviews with historical heroes. We're talking Cleopatra, Queen Nefertiti, Marcus Aurelius, Michaelangelo, Xenophon, Boudica, Hypatia, Frida Kahlo, and Constance Wilde.
Take this with a pinch of salt because there are also some etymology and idiom origins.

May 20, 202200:30:48Tap to summarizeHow does the etymology of avocado relate to the word protestant? What do the words genetics, genesis, and genuine all share in common? Does crocodile mean a pebble worm, and squirrel the 'shadow-tailed' and why? Plenty more of this available right here, right now.

Jan 16, 202200:24:05Tap to summarizeThis episode is fact and fun-fueled. Pt 1 - The rip-roaring Romans popping off after winning the euros, followed by a quick sidetrack of a history of parks from Ancient Rome to Mussolini’s fascist regime. Pt 2 - The Circus Maximus - what raucous activities went down here then? Pt 3 - An interview with Aldo Giannotti - the curator of the exhibition “Safe and sound” in the Mambo Art museum. The exhibition explores surveillance. Why do we feel safe with cameras watching us?
