Aged Pu’er, ancient history, and knowing your audience with Dr. Felege Yirga

We’re in Tennessee for a special episode of Teatime with Jesse with polyglot and historian Dr. Felege Yirga.

Jesse and Felege reminisce about their iconic game nights while sipping Pu'er and Jasmine tea. Dive into the fascinating world of ancient cultures as we explore the Late Antique/Early Medieval periods of the Near East and Red Sea regions. Felege discusses how cultural shifts impact the recording of history, while Jesse draws some parallels between stand-up comedy and teaching history.
