About this listen

Strider Wilson hosts a podcast delving into history through the perspective of a mature erudite bro. He was one unit away from a history minor at U.C. San Diego, but he does’t let that stop him from examining what it would have been like to be a bro posted up on Bunker Hill or uncovering what the chillest aspect of surrealist art is. Buckle up because Strider will not only venture into humanity's shared past. He will venture within himself. Asking real questions such as, “exactly how tight are pirates,” or “what if he stayed that extra semester in school,” “would my life have been danker?” Strider firmly believes that history is tight because we all should for sure blaze our own trails… but in what direction?

  • Evolution Of Emotion

    Evolution Of Emotion
    Oct 7 2025

    In honor of his bro Mason, who loves emotion, Strider takes a look back through the ages at the development of human emotion. Research led to even more questions. Are humans born with an emotional predisposition that environment exacerbates or curbs? Are there extinct personality types? Or have there been Shmoles like Kevin since cave man times? Strider finds answers and dials up the Halloween store for a fire thank call.

    Not sure what's worse these rules or their draconian punishments. It's crazy to think that the castle was the, "best," place to live in Medieval times. We play recast it today as well a dial up the movie theater for a good old fashioned Thank Call.
