Episode 4: This Just Feels Like Tulip Fever Apr 24, 2023

Show notes

On this episode we break down the fact vs. fiction about Tulip Mania. Tulip fever was a period of speculative frenzy in the Dutch Republic during the 17th century. At that time, the country was experiencing an economic boom, and the tulip trade was flourishing. Tulips were highly prized for their vibrant colors and unique patterns, and the demand for them was so high that their prices soared. This led to a speculative bubble where people were buying and selling tulips at inflated prices, some borrowing money to do so. However, the bubble eventually burst, and the tulip market crashed, causing many people to lose money. Despite the devastating consequences of tulip fever, it remains a fascinating historical event that has captivated people's imaginations for centuries. Over the years the tales have become more and more extreme, so what really happened?

Episode 3: Revenge, A Dish Served Best On Fire Apr 17, 2023

Show notes

Olga's tale of revenge has been a tale told for over a thousand years, but Historians argue over the accuracy of this particular tale, and furthermore, debate why she was made a saint... Let me know what you think in the comments below: Today we talk about Olga of Kiev. St. Olga of Kiev, also known as Kyiv, is often celebrated as the founder of Russian Christianity and was posthumously canonized after nearly 600 years for her efforts to introduce Christianity to the medieval kingdom of Kievan Rus. Throughout history, individuals in the Christian church have been elevated to sainthood for a diverse range of reasons. Some, like St. Nicholas, were canonized for their generosity, while others, such as St. Augustine, were recognized for their intellectual contributions to Christianity. In contrast, Olga's infamous reputation stems not from her virtuous deeds, but from the legends surrounding her brutal retaliation against a neighboring tribe after they killed her husband and threatened her rule. As a result, Saint Olga's dualistic personas continue to captivate scholars and history enthusiasts, making her a subject of both interest and contention for over a millennium.
