In this episode, we look into ancient examples of white-collar crimes. In this episode, we explore the cunning schemes of ancient times, from Ea-Nasir's subpar copper dealings in Mesopotamia to the bribing of the Oracle at Delphi, the bottomry fraud of Greek merchant Hegestratos, and Crassus' extortionate fire brigades in Rome. We also uncover medieval sheep fraud, the corrupt practices of Pope Alexander VI, and fast forward to more recent history with Sarah Howe's Ladies' Deposit Company and Charles Ponzi's infamous scheme. Join us for an enlightening look at how financial crimes have shaped history.

In this episode, we journey through art history to the emergence of Abstract Expressionism, spotlighting Barnett Newman's revolutionary approach. Newman's work redefined art, inviting deep emotional and perceptual experiences through his iconic zips.

We delve into the controversial restoration of Newman's masterpiece, exploring the intricate dance between preserving a work's physical form and its intrinsic meaning. Featuring insights from art historians, conservators, and critics, this episode sheds light on the delicate balance of creation and destruction in the art world, examining the ethics and evolving practices of art conservation. Join us as we navigate the fascinating intersection of artistic innovation, vulnerability, and the quest for preservation in the face of adversity.

This week we embark on a journey through time to uncover the stories of once-dominant companies whose names were synonymous with innovation, success, and American industry. We delve into the histories of Kodak, Radio Shack, Pontiac, PanAm, and SoBe - each a titan in its domain, now a shadow of its former self or vanished altogether.
Discover how Kodak, the pioneer of photography, missed the digital revolution; Radio Shack's fall from the go-to hub for electronics enthusiasts to obsolescence; Pontiac's journey from American muscle car icon to being discontinued; PanAm's transformation from the most prominent international airline to a case study in business failure; and SoBe's rise as an innovator in flavored beverages before fading into the background post-acquisition.
We explore the complexity of innovation, competition, and missteps that led to the decline of these once-great companies. We seek to understand not just why they failed, but how their legacies continue to impact the business world today.
Join us as we explore these cautionary tales, extracting lessons and insights from the rise and fall of these industry giants. Whether you're a business enthusiast, history buff, or just curious, this episode offers a compelling narrative of ambition, change, and resilience in the face of shifting economic landscapes.
