Cam continues his Barbarians series by examining the first of our tribal confederacies: The Goths. Picking up where episode 143 left off, we will discuss who these people were, what brought them into conflict with the Roman world, and where and how they appeared as a dominant cultural force in the rapidly changing cultural landscape of Europe in Late Antiquity.

This week, in the introductory episode of Cam's long promised series on the 'Fall' of the Western Roman Empire, and the rise of the 'Barbarians' we outline the mission statement for the series as a whole, and discuss the state of the Roman Empire from the late-2nd Century up through the mid-4th Century CE. This includes the Antonine Plague, the Crisis of the 3rd Century, the brief but glorious reign of Emperor Aurelian, the sundering of the Empire by the Emperor Diocletian, and the early introduction of the Goths and their friends.
We appreciate your patience in waiting for this series, and further appreciate those who subscribe to our Patreon. If you do not already subscribe, now would be a wonderful time to consider, as we're cranking out the good stuff. The link is below:

This week, we got together to briefly talk about the bizarre failed coup and failed impeachment in South Korea and the events in Syria before diving into whatever the Hell is going on with the assassination of the UHC CEO and the bizarre twists and turns the case has taken so far.

Happy Halloween, Ghouls and Goblins! This year, we wanted to talk about something truly horrifying. Something utterly bone-chilling. A topic even more horrific than Halloween III: Season of the Witch, which is admittedly a tall order. What is this eerie and macabre subject, you ask? U.S. Electoral Politics, of course! If you want our predictions, you'll have to listen to 40+ minutes of hot takes, so buckle up.

This week, for a little festive Halloween fun, we watched and discussed the cult classic misfit of the Halloween film franchise: Part III, Season of the Witch. If you've not seen the movie prior to listening, you really ought to check it out. Otherwise, be warned: there are SPOILERS within for a 42 year old flick.
