    Ep.4 Who was Alexander the Great?
    Nov 7 2025

    In this episode, we take a hilariously honest look at Alexander the Great—the man, the myth, the guy who thought “the world isn’t big enough for me.” From his Macedonian roots and Aristotle’s tutoring to his epic conquests across Persia, Egypt, and India, we unpack how a 20-something with a sword and a dream built one of the largest empires in history. Was he a military genius, a charismatic leader, or just someone with serious boundary issues? Join us as we blend historical facts, ancient gossip, and a few modern comparisons (yes, we’re looking at you, overachieving group project leaders) to explore the life and legacy of the original globe-trotter.

  • Ep.3 What was the First Ever Recognised Song?

    Ep.3 What was the First Ever Recognised Song?
    Nov 7 2025

    Before Spotify, vinyl, or even Mozart, there was “Hurrian Hymn No. 6”—the oldest known piece of music ever discovered. In this episode, we journey back over 3,000 years to ancient Ugarit (modern-day Syria), where this haunting hymn was inscribed on a clay tablet in cuneiform. We explore how archaeologists decoded its musical notation, what it might have sounded like, and why it still fascinates historians and musicians today. From ancient gods to modern reconstructions, this is the story of how music began—and how one song survived the sands of time.

  • Ep.2 Who Created the Internet

    Ep.2 Who Created the Internet
    Nov 4 2025

    Before TikTok dances and cat memes, there was ARPANET—a clunky, government-funded network that basically said, “Hey, what if computers could gossip?” In this episode, we take a light-hearted stroll through the surprisingly nerdy and occasionally chaotic history of the internet’s creation. From Cold War paranoia to packet switching, and from TCP/IP protocols to the moment someone said, “Let’s call it the World Wide Web,” we unpack how a bunch of scientists accidentally built the most powerful distraction machine known to humankind. Expect real facts, bad jokes, and a few “wait, what?” moments as we trace the journey from military-grade messaging to meme culture.
