Episode 1- The Iliad

Thank you so much to Ugly In The Morning for being our first historian and being so patient while I tried and failed to make animations for a potential video version. I still really want to add animation but I realized I wasn't enjoying it anymore, and want to get back to the part I did enjoy which was getting drunk and talking to Goons about history. Ugly is a family friend of Lance Reddick and it really means a lot that he was willing to do a little reading for us!

Fleta are you still down to do the second episode we can record any night you want preferably a weekend!

Also thank you to TeachesOfPeaches for doing so much with the audio and putting it all together with me. Now that this is just audio to start I hope we can make a lot more soon.

Glad this still exists. Still loving down! I can do Saturday but keep in mind I'm in Spain, so evening for me is probably gonna be afternoonish for you.

The goon history I remember most:

Remember when that guy made a thread, I think it was called like "Keyboard gunk", and it was a series of pictures of him showing how gross his keyboard was, and then him scraping off the keyboard gunk into a pile, and then him jizzing into the pile of keyboard gunk, and then him rubbing the jizzy keyboard gunk into his gums

I think it got immediately goldmined

I feel like podcasting may not be a visual enough medium to really get that across.

Some ideas that I had that I don't think either version of DH has covered (and probably not The Dollop but I can't vouch for all 650 episodes of that:)

The King's Great Matter (Henry VIII)
Empress Wu Zetian
Tokyo Rose
What happened to the Neanderthals?
Dame Sybil Hathaway and the island of Sark
Mary Anning and the Jurassic Coast
Piltdown Man and other archaeological hoaxes
Josephine Baker
Zelda Fitzgerald

In the same line, you could do a whole lot on where homo sapiens even came from and how we were related to some of the other hominid species we overlapped with and how we ended up winning out, so to speak.

I could absolutely do this, although I'm going to get so angry at people who don't believe in the OoAH.

I was thinking if I came back for subsequent episodes I would focus solely on female-identified people in history, so maybe Mary and Louis Leakey would be appropriate? But I can conclusively prove that Margaret Mead is an internet superstar of yesteryear, so I was hoping to do her next.

e: btw I just listened to the coherency cut of my episode!!!!!!
