Join us for our first ever episode. Zofia focuses on the Antonine plague that struck the Roman Empire during the 2nd century CE as well as the story of Glycon, the original snake oil man. Liam explores how the concoction of deadly diseases and viruses that Europeans brought to the New World resulted in catastrophic consequences for the peoples and societies of the Americas. Tangents include: appropriate wigs for magic snakes, prophetic octopi, who REALLY 'discovered' the Americas and the question everyone is asking: do snakes control Trump?
