Today, we sat down to discuss the Ippei Mizuraha and Shohei Ohtani sports betting story even further. With the release of the 37 page criminal complaint by IRS agent Chris Seymour, there is a lot to dig in to talk about. We also get into the sports betting scandal in the NBA that saw a lifetime ban handed down to Toronto Raptors player Jontay Porter for his own meager-in-comparison sports betting scandal.

This week, in part one of a new series, we discuss one of the greatest cons ever perpetrated in the modern age: The 19th century formation of the Congo ‘Free’ State under King Leopold of the Belgians. While in Europe Leopold was lauded as a progressive, modernist monarch, his legacy in Central Africa is one of brutality, suffering, and the wanton slaughter of millions; all in the singular pursuit of profit and financial gain. Buckle up, buckaroos. We’re in for a rough one.

We continue our long running Ancient Mysteries series this week with the beginning of a deep dive into Roman Britain and its rituals and customs. Today we begin by looking at the Druids of Britannia in the 1st Century BCE before the coming of the Romans and look at the attitudes of the Romans to the Druids during and after the conquest of Britannia. Then, we will discuss how the Roman era of Britannia brought new cults to the island and its traditions.

Now, we're not the type of podcast that would put $50,000 in a shoebox and hand it over to a complete stranger, but that's mostly because we're poor. Fortunately for the scammers of the world, not everyone is so utterly devoid of liquid assets. We're all in the scam country now.

This week, we pick up our narrative of the life and times of Genghis Khan as our protagonist leads his horde into the lands of the Muslim Sultans, spreading the Mongol Peace ever Westward in search of glory and riches for his growing realm. During all of this, the Great Khan realizes that he will not live forever, and turns his attention to matters of the family in an effort to prevent a crisis in the event of his untimely demise.
