In this rerelease, I have completely rewritten and rerecorded the first episode in an effort to demonstrate the eventual quality of the podcast to new listeners who choose to start at the beginning. I will be replacing the old episode audio but also releasing it at as a bonus episode so that listeners who are caught up don't miss out on what's essentially an all new look at the topic. In the new version, I dive far deeper into the mystery of the Lost Colony of Roanoke than I did back in 2016.

01/24/23 • 62 min

In the conclusion to my series on the Wall Street Putsch, I give further historical context to the January 6th Insurrection by discussing the Fascist propaganda of the '20s and '30s that helped drive a plot to stage a Fascist coup, and I recount the details of the plot itself, its exposure, and how the press dismissed it.

As we see anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and hate speech surge during the coronavirus pandemic, a historical pattern can be discerned, a tradition of fear and resentment that is well illustrated in the medieval legend of the Wandering Jew. Join me as I explore this Christian legend, connecting it every step of the way with the long history of using Jews as scapegoats for calamities of all kinds.

In the final installment of my weekly series on the Shakespeare authorship question, accept the burden of proof that anti-Stratfordians refuse to meet and present the case that Shakespeare, after all, did indeed write Shakespeare.
