One extra goody to round out 2025! Patrick had the extreme pleasure of sitting down with Jamie (Jammy History), Madi (Spill The Mead), and TK (For The Love Of History). They took a look at the 1999 action adventure, The 13th Warrior.Ā
The "A Little Love for Jammy & Mead" gang delve into this 90s flop, that deserved a little bit better. Join us for a lot of laughs, and a ton of fun!

The third and final installment of the Epic of Mwindo is here! Join Patrick and Matthew for the Season 2 finale, as we wrap up the increasingly vivid and amazing tale of Mwindo's journey in search of his father. We've got more underworld shenanigans, some whistle-blowing deities, a strangely described pig, and, of course, a 7 headed dragon! All this, and much more, in part 3 of the Epic of Mwindo.Ā Ā
Ā
Season 3 is in the works, and it will bring about a bit of a change with the show. Moving away from mythology and folklore, Patrick will be guiding us through the fascinatingly turbulent period following the death of Alexander the Great and the men and women who vied for control of his massive empire. We hope to see you there!Ā Ā

We return to Africa for a continuation of The Epic of Mwindo. Join Patrick and Matthew as they take you through the next leg of Mwindo's travels to find his elusive father, Shemwindo. A hilarious game of cat and mouse across the land and, eventually, extending all the way to the underworld.
We've got a percussion standoff, nosey sparrow, lightning nukes, a Dan Carlan impression, and plenty of banana beer to get you through the day. All that, and much, much more, in the next installment of The Epic of Mwindo.

In this bonus episode Patrick sits down with Gabriel Garcia (The Wandering Quill/ The Wandering Scribe), in the Historians Lounge. Patrick had the pleasure of discussing coinage in the early Successor Period and the insight it offers. That juicy time following the premature death of Alexander The Great which left an empire divided.

It has been a bit of wait but Part 2 is finally here! Bellerophon and his horsey-pale, Pegasus, have defeated the Chimera, be it with a lot of help. But their story is not done yet...Obviously. There is much more to cover for our heroes in this tragic tale. We've got a quest dispensing king, aerial artillery, a mass flashing event, and much more as well.
Patrick is joined once again by Emily Bourdon & Madi Gervais from Spill the Mead podcast, and they had an absolute ball.
