Seneca & The Madness of Hercules w/ Dana Gioia
“In almost all of [Seneca’s] tragedies,” sixteenth century playwright Giambattisa Giraldi Cinthio confessed, “he surpassed . . . all the Greeks who ever wrote—in wisdom, in gravity, in decorum, in majesty, and in memorable aphorism.” And yet no one seems to remember him. Who was this ingenious ancient Roman thinker and writer?

How 1923 Made Adolf Hitler w/ Mark Jones
While many argue that Adolf Hitler was “made” upon the 1939 outbreak of World War II or his 1933 accession to the Chancellorship of Germany, one historian reasons that the ordinary man became Führer in 1923. With the French occupying industrial portions of Germany, the economy fell into a tailspin and political radicalism skyrocketed. This led a rabid German corporal with a toothbrush mustache to orchestrate the infamous Beer Hall Putsch.
Join me and Professor Mark Jones as we discuss the rarely considered origins of Adolf Hitler in his book, 1923.
