We'll be feasting on the stories and crimes they don't cover in Philosophy classes or history textbooks. Each episode, we a roast a historic icon over their ideas in science, politics, philosophy or whatever (hot takes and speculation welcome), while looking in their back yards for any corpses they may have had hidden in their creek /

On this outstanding podcast, our host explores the mystical philosophy of every one's favorite theorem: the Pythagorean theorem.
While you may know that A squared plus B squared equals C squared, you probably don't know that Pythagoras was a full-on cult leader that married himself to children, killed his insubordinates, and got an entire village to burn his commune down.
Tune in for magic numbies, more true crime, and to find out why Pythagoras hated farting.

PART II of II
what happens to the child king?
On this digestion, we are recapping the philosophy employed by humanity through the last millennium: the years 1000-2000, how history's kings tended to cease power and how the island of the not-so-United-Kingdom inspired the iconic HBO series Game of Thrones.

Van Life (and death) of Socrates II
Van Life (and death) of Socrates Part II: Law and Order
"I never saw it coming, nor would I have suspected it; I underestimated just who I was dealing with!
The Senate's gonna find:
Stealing other people's rights on the playground
Won't make you many friends
They should keep in mind, / They should keep in mind
There is nothing I do better than revenge, ha"
-Socrates, The Apology
