Strider Wilson hosts a podcast delving into history through the perspective of a mature erudite bro. He was one unit away from a history minor at U.C. San Diego, but he does’t let that stop him from examining what it would have been like to be a bro posted up on Bunker Hill or uncovering what the chillest aspect of surrealist art is. Buckle up because Strider will not only venture into humanity's shared past. He will venture within himself. Asking real questions such as, “exactly how tight are pirates,” or “what if he stayed that extra semester in school,” “would my life have been danker?” Strider firmly believes that history is tight because we all should for sure blaze our own trails… but in what direction?

Carpooling Is Brutal
We've all been in one at some point in our lives. Most likely during a school commute. Strider would argue that the greatest lessons in life did not occur in the classroom, but rather in the confined space of the backseat on the way to that classroom. Buckle up for a banger of an ep!

Customer Reviews
Good chill pod
Love Strider’s chill style. Also you never know what topic is gonna come up. Pretty sure he just saw The Rock on tv and then thought it deserved half an hour of praise. But it could easily have been half an hour on the existentialist views of Camus, or a brief recap of some random world war 2 battle I’ve never heard of. Also love the style of having Aaron as a kind of tutor/teacher’s aide to keep the information flowing or correct Strides if he gets confused. Love you strider xo from Australia
