Hello everyone! This episode I will be discussing the incident that inspired Theodore Gericault to create the painting “The Raft of Medusa”. This is a true historical incident that happened after a French frigate called “Le Radeau de la Meduse” ran aground in the ocean, and with a combination of incompetence and negligence, 147 people were put onto a makeshift raft in the ocean with horrifying consequences. Please have a listen, and please follow me wherever you listen to podcasts and on all of my socials. Thank you so much, and take care!

Episode 1: The Sim Racer Special!

Hi everyone, I’m still learning how to edit, so forgive my errors! This episode, I am flexing my nonexistent interview skills by asking Stephen Warcup some questions about Sim Racing! Steve, also known as “DriverSports”, answers my questions about what Sim racing and iRacing are and when his passion for racing began. I interrupt and say “like” a lot, and Enzo chimes in when nobody asked. Please let me know what you think, did you learn anything new? Are you in the sim racing world? Have you battled DriverSports? Let us know on our social medias, and thank you for listening!
