I would say I loved history in high school, but this podcast has opened up my mind to so much more at my age of 40.

If America wasn't a country, does it still count as the first murder there?

Listened to this episode today. Very interesting. Lucrezia is a distant grandparent of mine from her marriage to Alphonso d'Este. I am going to have someone in my family see if we are related to Brooke Shields which would be so awesome.
Shantal Figueroa
there is a weird skipping issue around 9:25. it skips a good 2-3 sentences for some reason. I did not have this issue with my other podcast app

It might sound strange but I proposed marriage to my wife while sitting on that little bench in front of TSL. She is a very special person to us. Nice show btw, excellent research...

Indigenous Australians, not Aborigines, also you might want to do your research, especially your claim about not farming, go read Bruce Pascoe literature
Charlie Wilson
Very enjoyable podcast. Been listening for a month now and have enjoyed every episode. As a Halloween fan, this was particularly appealing.

Interesting topic, but too much attention to viewing things from a 21st century feminist perspective with the usual myopic hand wringing at the end. Being apolitical is not a bad thing at times.
Ford Prefect
I neither know or care about plants but this was such a pleasant interview.

A circle is hardly a complex lineage
