That Girl is... Poison Oct 19, 2025

The spooky season is upon us. Halloween, the time when the veil between the living world and what comes next is at its thinnest. According to legend a time when ghosts, ghouls, spirits, and otherworldly creatures are able to materialize and interact with us.

However every human being has it within themselves to give into our darkest instincts and thoughts and act upon them. Forsaking their humanity and indeed becoming demonic.

Today I bring you the true story of two women whose circumstances in life led them to embrace the evil within and unleash it upon Ancient Rome.

Come dream with me as go Deep into 1st century of the Roman Empire and witness the rise & fall of an Empress & History's first well documented serial killer, Locusta of Gaul.

The Curious Case of Athenodorus Oct 13, 2025

The spooky season is upon us. Halloween, the time when the veil between the living world and what comes next is at its thinnest. According to legend a time when ghosts, ghouls, spirits, and otherworldly creatures are able to materialize and interact with us.

Today I bring you the account of an ancient inquiry into the paranormal from the 1st Century CE. It comes to us from a letter written to a dear friend from the lawyer, author, and magistrate of the Roman Empire Pliny the Younger. In it he is desperate to discover if Ghosts are real, fore he fears that they are. He gives us a priceless retelling of three ghost stories. The first two are second hand reports from Carthage in Africa and Athens in Greece. Then one from his household which chilled him to his core and forced him to consult his most learned friend Sura.

The most famous of the three by far is the account of the ghost that haunted a beautiful villa in Athens. Once the specter appeared the owners abandoned the property, could not sell it, and tried to rent it out to recover as least some of its value. Instead every one it was rented to was terrorized each night by the ghost. The tale of the evil spirit and the curse it lay on the villa spread across the city and soon no one would dare approach the place at night let alone pay to stay there. That is until the philosopher Athenodorus decided that the stories were superstitious nonsense spread by illiterate peasants and the very low price to live there was a once in a lifetime bargain. Then he encountered the ghost....

So come dream with me as we experience the Ancient Imperial Paranormal Inquiry launched by Pliny the Younger in the First Century in a tale, I call, The Curious Case of Athenodorus.

Nekrós Oct 05, 2025

The spooky season is upon us. Halloween, the time when the veil between the living world and what comes next is at its thinnest. According to legend a time when ghosts, ghouls, spirits, and otherworldly creatures are able to materialize and interact with us.

Today I bring you the true account of an ancient event, a true horror, that shook the people of Macedonia to their core and soon spread across the Mediterranean to every society. What makes this tale so enchanting is that its core it is a love story. A story of a love so deep that it shattered the veil because the gods blessed it and allowed a maiden to return from the underworld to live again so that she could be with her soulmate once again. This horrific incident occurred while Phillip II, the father of Alexander the Great, was preparing for his invasion of the Persian Empire and was well documented.

Come dream with me as we go Deep into 4th Century BCE Macedonia and witness the rise of the Vampire in the west in a tale, I call, Nekrós.

Come dream with me as we go deep into the 1960s as we move through the streets of Chicago with Fred Hampton and become one with him through the evolution of his thoughts.

We'll experience the forces of COINTELPRO, MHCHAOS, the FBI, the police, and the surveillance state unleashed on the people of the United States of America.

We'll witness the rise of the anti-Vietnam War movement, the students for a democratic society, the Black Panthers, and the Rainbow Coalition. Feel the trauma of the assassinations of MLK, RFK, and the true criminal murder of Hampton himself.

Because everyone tells the tragic tale of how Fred died, I want you to know how he lived through his own words in a tale I call...Fred Said...

*Bonus* Napoleon: The Film, The Man, The History Jan 15, 2024

Please enjoy this modern classic hit of Rev Left Radio of which I was so honored to be a part of. Out of literal thousands, my friends Everett, Berht, and I delivered the definitive review of Ridley Scott's Napoleon. The hosts of Age of Napoleon, Rev Left Radio, and Deep into History go deep on the original Island Boy. (Brushing my shoulder off, on behalf of our Triumvirate)

Everett from The Age of Napoleon and Arjun from Deep into History join Breht to discuss Napoleon Bonaparte. Together they explore and reflect on the new film by Ridley Scott, the actual history involved and what the film got wrong, Napoleon's real personality, the importance of the French Revolution in Napoleon's rise, the reaction to the French Revolution and Napoleon from the rest of Europe, Napoleon's treatment of Haiti, Napoleon's exile and death, and then they grapple with the question of how the socialist left today should view and understand Napoleon.

The conversation naturally takes many interesting and worthwhile detours along the way!
