RE-RELEASE: Stuff Alaric Said

Help keep our podcast going by contributing to our Patreon! On August 24, 410 AD, Alaric and the Visigoths sacked the city of Rome. Before he sacked it, he starved it. Before that, he went toe to toe with the Roman Empire for fifteen years—uniting disparate tribes, holding a people together, and achieving more against Rome than any barbarian leader before him.

RE-RELEASE: Janus: God of the New Year

Help keep our podcast going by contributing to our Patreon! Janus is the two-faced god of the Roman pantheon. He was the god of beginnings and endings, of dual natures, of passageways and passage through time. He’s the god of thresholds and doorways and gates, and the god of change, both concrete and abstract. He’s constantly in motion; he’s the god who’s always just passing through. Janus may not be very well-known. But in his time, he was considered one of the most important gods—perhaps more important than Jupiter himself. Today, we’re going to tell you all about him.

A Very Alaric Christmas

Help keep our podcast going by contributing to our Patreon! How would Alaric of the Visigoths celebrate the midwinter holiday (Christmas? Solstice? Yule?). The idea was kicked around a lot between the two of us until it seemed imperative that we actually write this episode. And thus, an episode was born. In this episode, Alaric is about six years old. He doesn’t exactly understand that his life is hanging by a knife’s edge – caught between the invading Huns and the colonizing Romans. This is the story of a little boy just trying to do the right thing and not get his belly slit open by the Perchta, as one does around this time of year. So sit back, pour yourself a festive holiday beverage, and enjoy this very fictional, occasionally true episode. Sponsors & Advertising This podcast is a member of Airwave Media podcast network.

RE-RELEASE: St. Nicholas and the Christmas Cannibals

Help keep our podcast going by contributing to our Patreon! Ah, Christmas—it's a time of cheer, of gift-giving and generosity; and a time to eat yer babies. This year, we’re focusing on two different cannibalistic monsters from Christmas folklore: Père Fouettard and Hans Trapp. Because it turns out that child cannibalism really is the reason for the season—and perhaps Santa Claus is the biggest cannibal of all. What is Santa hiding under those jolly cheeks and that big white beard? Strap in, pour yourself your favorite holiday beverage, and get ready for a wild ride into the dark side of Christmas.

RE-RELEASE: You Don't Know Yule

Help keep our podcast going by contributing to our Patreon! What do you know about Yule? Maybe a lot. The holiday is widely celebrated in Scandinavian countries, and it's an important part of Wiccan and Pagan tradition. But for many of us, the version that's come down through history is strongly associated with Christmas--and heavily sanitized. When we scratched the surface, however, we found that the origins of Yule were older and darker and weirder than we ever imagined.

A life saver!!!!

I am a huge history nerd and this podcast was a life saver when I was working king desk hours and got tired of music (thankfully I was allowed to put my headphones in since I wasn’t interacting with the public). This podcast was something new and exciting for me and they way they tell the stories was so entertaining! I love their banter. I’m desperately trying to get caught up on all their episodes since I had the misfortune of finding this so late, but I’m enjoying every second of it!
So annoying. Why.

I love history so much. All I wanted was to hear the stories about the content they are representing in their titles. I don’t care about what their instagram feeds would look like. I don’t care about a family in NY and their airstream. Come on.

I like hearing unique insights, stories, and voices to learn about history. History shows choice in response to fundamental human loves and fears. I’m so proud of them for their current discussion of the 2025 manifesto. The hosts provide excellent and open research, with courage, honesty, and love. - Brett

They do a lot of yammering without actually saying anything about ancient history. The fact that they think Project 2025 is a thing, thing being on a literal imbecile to pleasure themselves with over this, was hilarious. They’re more conspiratorial than Alex Jones.
