  • 203. 520s BC part 3 - A Meeting of the Minds (and Mindless) with Gil Kidron
    2024/11/13

    In this lively cross-border episode, Bernie and Gil huddle up in Barcelona, while Dan joins from Sweden, to explore an ancient meeting of minds in 525 BC. As the Persian empire expanded into Egypt, Jewish communities from different lands converged, sharing stories and traditions that would become the foundation for parts of the Old Testament. Join us for a journey back to a pivotal moment where worlds—and minds—collided, leaving a lasting mark on history.

  • 202. 520s BC part 2 Cambyses vs Egypt continued
    2024/10/30

    A Mad King ... True or False?


    Cambyses has some pretty bad historical credibility. He's been considered a mad king for millennia. We tell the great stories of his insane behavior in Egypt. Of course in Fan of History style we do a deep dive and have a lot of fun with it, including asking the question "how freaking old is Croesus now??"

  • What's New in History - Nubia!
    2024/10/23

    I had the great pleasure of speaking with Blue from Brand Nubiin. Blue, apart from being one of the coolest guys you will ever meet, is a part of the Nubian diaspora who are coming together to celebrate and highlight the rich culture and history of Nubia.

    We discuss the history and culture and of course get into philosophy and the power of humanity, because... me!


    There's really some interesting stuff in here so definitely check it out. I apologize in advance for some of the noises in the audio. Our guest was in a busy area and I was not able to edit some of them out.


    Check out the links below and let me know what you think after listening.

    -BERNIE


    PS without the editing help of my favorite Aussie Garry Stevens from History IN the Bible I would not even have this episode out at all! Hooray for Garry!

  • 201. 520s BC Part 1 Cambyses vs Egypt
    2024/10/15

    In the 520s BC, the Pyramids were already 2,000 years old! Now the upstart Persian Empire with only their 2nd king is going to try to add the ancient kingdom to their collection of ancient Empires. Will their strategy using "los gatos" work?


    Find out on this first of many episodes on the 520s BC where we have some great stories from Herodotus and other ancient authors.

    Ashurbanipal the OG Assyrian emperor, Dugdamus the Demon King, Nebuchadnezzar nemesis of the Jews, Cyrus the Freaking Great.... and no episode would be complete without good ole GYGES!


    We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed making it and the past 100 episodes!
