52. Inside The Letterbox

June 17, 2021 00:00 - 35 minutes - 24.5 MB

These days we think nothing of receiving a sick gif from great grandma Bing, or a wicked TikTok from second uncle Pepe. There's no limit to the number of dope memes pinging live into our notification zones, hot and fresh from friends far and wide.  Back in 1805 though, Tikhon was the closest you came to TikTok, and if you wanted to see Count Rostov doing that funny dance, you had to knock on his door. But that doesn't mean they had no excitement whatsoever, far from it. Join us this week a...

March 04, 2021 01:00 - 30 minutes - 21.3 MB

You know the saying, "War and Peace go together like birds of a feather".  Birds have lots of feathers, you see, and a bird would not actually be legally called a bird if it had no feathers... Which is a lot like war and peace when you think about it. I mean, when you really think about it.  Can you ever truly have peace without having some war? Does war inevitably always lead to peace? Is there a bird that exists in the wild without feathers, and if so, will it declare an unstoppable war?...
