It's Cullen's Birthday... Again!
My High School History Teacher returns to lead DGMH through the "Tale of Two Caesars," as we explore the fall of the Roman Republic and the rise of an Empire!
We chat about the role of Julius Caesar and his chosen successor, Octavian, in the fall of the Roman Republic and the formation of the Roman Empire during their respective reigns. This episode had a good bit on the First and Second Triumvirates, as well as Cleopatra of Egypt too! Plus, we made some fun comparisons to the US.
Key content: Julius Caesar, Gaul, Augustus, Cleopatra, Marc Antony, Roman Empire, Republicanism
Cheers!

Thanksgiving, Franksgiving, and Sara Josepha Hale - The Thanksgiving Special (Again...)

1 Recommendations

If you're thinking you might have heard this one before, well... you might have, it's the Thanksgiving Special on one of my favorite topics... Beavers?!?
So, you might know why you celebrate Thanksgiving, but does anyone know why we all celebrate it? Explore the origins of Thanksgiving, find out what the heck "Franksgiving" is, and of course, I had to sneak in a chat about Beavers. I cut the ads, cleaned up the audio, but overall... even I enjoyed listening to this one again, and I would be "thankful" if you would too!
Cheers!
Key content: Beavers, Plymouth, First Thanksgiving, Franksgiving and FDR, Washington, Lincoln, Sara Josepha Hale
I remastered the original, cut out the ads, and re-released it for all our new comers to the show.
