    Ancient Sparta Was A Dumpster Fire (Episode 141)

    Ancient Sparta Was A Dumpster Fire (Episode 141)

    The mythology of ancient Sparta is that of peerless warriors, un-defeatable soldiers who defended democracy and resisted those who would conquer Greece.

    The reality is... a lot different.

    We're going to take a look at what ancient Sparta was actually like, why it was like that, and whether or not their Spartiates were actually that good at war.

    The Altamont Free Concert (Relative Disasters Episode 140)

    It was intended to be "Woodstock West", a celebration of music in a free concert in California. It was intended to have a fun lineup of some of the biggest rock bands on 1969, headlined by The Rolling Stones.

    It ended with four people dead, hundreds injured, and is often pointed to as the death of the 1960s peace & love / counter-culture movements.

    The Radium Girls (Episode 138)

    In 1914, a scientist made a new kind of paint, a paint that glowed. A company was founded, and they needed girls with small hands to work there, applying that paint to the hands and numbers of watches and to the dials of gauges in aircraft.

    One problem - the paint was deadly. And nobody told the girls.

    The Reign of King John, 1199-1216 (Episode 137)

    Auntie Lynn joins us to discuss the disastrous reign of King John - and the numerous sidebars with which we become distracted. This episode is a free-wheeling discussion of John and a lot of random - but interesting - nonsense surrounding his reign!

    Note: As happens often, the dogs wanted to co-host, so you will hear some puppers in the background.
