    09 - The Odyssey Pt. 1 : Take The Long Way Homer

    This week we're doing an epic Homer's Odyssey . Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey comes out in theater's this week and we felt this was a good time to go over Odysseus' journey. We do eventually plan on doing all the remaining epics connected to Troy (the ones we still have anyway The Iliad and The Aeneid) but with this being more relevant right now we decided why not. Let's chill, burn, and learn about Odysseus' adventure from the battles in Troy to his home in Ithaca. Let's burn thighs for the Gods and hear of the heaps of trouble that await our hero.

    08 - The Ptolemaic Dynasty : Walk Like An Egyptian

    Today on the Stoned Ape Podcast we'll be talking about the Ptolemaic Dynasty. The last and longest Egyptian dynasty spawned from the result of conquests of Alexander the Great...but how they held on to this dynasty was a little...incesty. After the death of Alexander and going to Cleopatra VII we'll chat about the 300 year reign of one of the most powerful, strange, and dangerous families from antiquity. After a busy weekend I'm ready to chill with you guys.   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stonedapepod/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/The-Stoned-Ape-Podcast-with-Wes-Ranson/61579933093042/# Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@Thestonedapepod Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/stonedapepod Support the show

    03 - Evolution of Music Pt. 1 : Can't You Hear Me Knocking

    Ever wonder where music came from in the first place ? Why we sing ? Music gets deep or not deep at all depending on the sound and how we feel at the time. I played in a few bands when I was younger and it has always been very important to me, but I never looked into how it evolved in the first place. Most of this is tame enough but like all topics if you dive deep enough can get a little weird. Let's chill a bit and talk about it on today's evolutionary audio exploration.  If you liked the episode leave us a comment or a review.

    02 - Phillip II of Macedonia : Phil It Still

    Time to relax and hear a tale... Where did Alexander come from and what made him so great? Some say his father, and I second that notion. Phillip II took his people from near extinction to Greece's first great empire! He was a great diplomat but he also kicked a lot of ass to get there. At that time kicking ass was the most popular way of getting things. Not too different than today. Let's learn about Alexander's pops during today's sesh.  If you liked the episode leave us a comment or a review.

    01 - The Stoned Ape Theory : Fungus Among Us

    After reading Terrance McKenna's book "Food of the Gods" it gave me a lot to think about and even more to say. The Stoned Ape Theory has fascinated me since I fist heard about it. Not that I completely agree with all that he hypothesises I do think it is an interesting idea and good attempt at thinking outside the box about how early man came to be. Or could have. It's more of a what if than an actual theory but an exciting what if. Let's relax, smoke one, and talk about why we are the way we are... Looking into what possibly could have jumpstarted mankind as we know it today.  If you liked the episode leave us a comment or a review.
