This is awesome. It like a super deep niche version of James Burke's Connections.


Yeah, I'm trying to target the general (curious) public. Like Carl Sagan Cosmos level (or soul of a new machine, accidental empires, masters of doom, etc). I'm still finding my element. Hopefully it will be generally enjoyable by all and genuinely 80-90% new information per episode to people who aren't scholars or academics.

Check out my play from last week for an example of what I mean, http://comphistpod.com/1-4-the-stolen-stars-a-dramatization-... ... this is one of the diversion episodes (which are thematically aligned to the timeline topic in the odd episodes but slightly off the path)


This reminds me of the cool shit that was on the internet in the 90s. Thank you!
