New podcast episode! This week, we’re talking to Dr Emily Friedman about snuff, smelling salts, taking the waters at Bath, Queen Charlotte’s bad habit, and more! Austen fans rejoice—we’re looking at scent in the Long 18th Century!
We travel back to the years 415 and 414 BCE to bear witness to the downfall of a certain Postumius, a very wronghead man. Join us to learn just how wrongheaded he was!
We’ve got a brand new episode coming out later this week AND a special treat for our patrons as well! Excited to be bringing you more of ancient Rome real soon.
Pictured: just a couple of women who think about the Roman Empire every day 😅
I need to seriously reduce my time looking at screens, my eyes are virtually hurting.
What are your favourite podcasts? A bit nerdy, informative, deep dives, tech, ecology, queerfeminist discussions, Asia-Pacific.
I'm thinking in the lines of Cultures of Energy, @mel_hogan Data Fix, @parismarx Tech won't Safe Us, @emergencemagazine, Wohlstand für Alle, You're Wrong About, ... but also some format I do not have on my radar. @sts@academicchatter
We take a deep dive into this classic film with the wonderfully knowledgable Professor Alastair Blanchard who’s a renowned scholar of the classics and who has a particular interest in the heroic figure of Herakles - aka Hercules - aka Hunkules 😅
Join us to explore how the tale of Hercules is reimagined by Disney!
Können Sterbende während der Reanimation und damit an der Schwelle zum Tod bewusste Erfahrungen machen? Die meisten Forscher sagen: #Nahtoderlebnisse sind nur eine Entladung des sterbenden Gehirns. #podcast
@bookstodon …and it’s brilliant to hear George Saunders talk about her writing too - he didn’t read the story as guests normally do as he didn’t want to say a particular, rather unpleasant, word which is repeated several times!
This week I talk to Kaytlin Bailey, host of The Oldest Profession Podcast, about the American Plan, under which tens of thousands of women were detained based on their perceived ability to spread VD, all in the name of protecting American soldiers.

We’re back in the thick of things with the years 418–416 BCE. Rome struggles with their neighbours, and faces strife from within from tribunes looking to make things right for the little people!
Künstliche Intelligenz ist: Viel Handarbeit!
All die KI-Anwendungen, über die wir im Alltag oft staunen, müssen trainiert werden. Das geschieht oft in armen Ländern. Billige Arbeitskräfte in Kenia etwa bearbeiten Millionen Fotos, Videos und Texte, aus denen die KI lernt. Unser Autor Christian Kretschmer hat mit vielen dieser #Clickworker gesprochen. #podcast
@xankarn@worldwarshistory@histodons I can't wrap my head around the idea that any history is "done" and should no longer be talked about or studied 🤷♀️
Agree. We hear, in some circles, the notion that discussions of past injustice are divisive or that they foist guilt unfairly onto the living.
I see it differently. What's divisive, I'd say, are the blockades that these people erect to prevent more conversation/contemplation.
Nor do I buy arguments about collective guilt. Engaging w historical injustice is abt weighing responsibilities of citizenship, not villifying the perps or their descendants.
