Drunk On History is a podcast that explores humanity’s complex relationship with alcohol — from ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia to Rome, Mesoamerica, India, China, and beyond. Together with experts, I dive into how ancient civilizations used, abused, and understood alcohol.
How did the ancients manage the age-old question of “How much is too much?” What laws or moral codes tried to curb excess? What can warnings on drinking cups or ancient myths about intoxication tell us about moderation and society?

From the first rune stones carved in Uppland to Sweden's quiet but powerful role in shaping modern Europe, this show traces the full arc of a nation that transformed from a Viking power into a global model of social democracy. Lucas and Luna guide listeners through the rise of the Svear and Gรถtar tribes, the formation of the early Swedish kingdom, and the brutal expansion of the Viking Age across the Baltic and into the rivers of Russia. They delve into the Christianization of Scandinavia under kings like Olof Skรถtkonung, the medieval consolidation under the House of Bjรคlbo, and the pivotal Kalmar Union that bound Sweden to Norway and Denmark. The show explores Sweden's emergence as a great power under Gustavus Adolphus, his military reforms, and the Thirty Years' War, followed by the disastrous decline of the Swedish Empire after the Battle of Poltava. The 19th century brought constitutional change, the loss of Finland, and a new identity forged by the Napoleonic Wars and the Union with Norway. The 20th century saw Sweden navigate two world wars as a neutral state, build its iconic welfare state under Tage Erlander and Olof Palme, and grapple with the tensions of immigration, EU membership, and a changing global order. Along the way, the hosts examine the Viking legacy, the Sami people, the rise of the Swedish model, and the enduring influence of figures like Birger Jarl, Queen Kristina, and Alfred Nobel. This is not a simple timeline but a conversation about how a small, cold country at the edge of Europe came to define modernity on its own terms.#VikingAge #SwedishEmpire #GustavusAdolphus #ThirtyYearsWar #KalmarUnion #BattleOfPoltava #SwedishHistory #SocialDemocracy #WelfareState #Neutrality #AlfredNobel #QueenKristina #BirgerJarl #SamiPeople #NorthernEurope #History #WorldHistory #FexingoHistoryKeep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

"I am for England and England only," John Lutchester, the Englishman, asserted. "I am for Japan and Japan only," Nikasti, the Jap, insisted.

Graham is ready to join some friends for luncheon at the restaurant but chooses to clean up before joining them. He never comes out of the restroom. Several spies from different governments set out to find him and the formula. What was particularly interesting to me about this espionage novel is that it was written in 1918, but it could just as easily have been from today. (Summary by Tom Weiss)

The History of the Peloponnesian War is an account of the Peloponnesian War in Ancient Greece, fought between the Peloponnesian League (led by Sparta) and the Delian League (led by Athens) in the 5th Century BC. It was written by Thucydides, an Athenian general who served in the war. It is widely considered a classic and regarded as one of the earliest scholarly works of history. The History is divided into eight books. These book divisions are the work of editors in later antiquity. W. R. Connor [...] describes Thucydides as "an artist who responds to, selects and skillfully arranges his material, and develops its symbolic and emotional potential." (Summary from Wikipedia)

Justin must thread a perilous path through various sticky wickets, between the machinations of his foster father, the violence of his brother, the relentless pursuit by the government's agent, his hopeless love for the hapless heroine, and the struggles of his own conscience.

The Persian Cat: Over 100 Years of Unrivaled Glamour and Allure
With its extraordinarily wide-set round eyes featuring perpetual curiosity encased within a gorgeously long silky coat, the Persian cat has enchanted feline aficionados for over a century as the epitome of glamour and intrigue. Originally coveted almost exclusively by Victorian-era high society, the Persian's extreme babydoll cuteness eventually enamored the masses, expanding its popularity far beyond aristocrats to conquer modern households globally through charm and luxury. This quintessential pampered pedigree continues collecting legions of besotted fans who find its exquisite appearance and lovably vain personality effortlessly spellbinding.
Exotic Beginnings to International Stardom
The Persian’s elaborate origin story mirrors the mystical folklore of old. Their genesis traces originally to the long-haired cats of the 19th century Middle East, such as the Turkish Angora, which were prized around Mediterranean ports. Globetrotting British sailors then adopted these exotic kittens as souvenirs, spreading them throughout UK households after voyages. Selectively bred for amplifying long flowing coats and squashed “baby faces,” early “Persian” iterations caught the attention of Victorian-era English ladies who proudly exhibited these rare foreign felines as symbols of affluence and taste.
These exotic imports quickly became sensations featured at early British cat shows, including those sponsored by cat-loving Queen Victoria herself starting in 1871. As the Persian's fame and show ring prestige grew domestically for their new indoor housecat livelihoods, American aristocrats soon followed British royalty fashions by flaunting pampered pedigree Persians as the era’s quintessential glamorous living accessory. For over 60 prosperous years spanning into the early 20th century, the Persian's immense worldwide popularity ascended among the moneyed set before interest temporarily plateaued after World War II when many foreign luxury items became déclassé.
The Marilyn Monroe Comeback - Cementing Pop Culture Status But the Persian wasn't down for long. In 1953, the sudden rise of feline film actress Orangey co-starring with Marilyn Monroe in the Hollywood romantic comedy “How To Marry a Millionaire” put the glamorous Persian back front and center dominating entertainment headlines. This strategic scene-stealing cameo established Persians yet again as America's most famous red carpet bombshell beauty with mass pop culture appeal.
Seemingly overnight in the era's postwar prosperity, the newly spotlighted breed began trending as families rushed to adopt to recreate that enviable Orangey-Monroe sparkle. Custom Swarovski crystal collar charms emerged selling briskly to Persians nationwide donning their own mini-Monroe kitten couture glam while out charm-schooling puppies in neighborhoods everywhere.

Delve deep into the clandestine world of submarine warfare during WWI with the Journal of Submarine Commander Von Forstner. As the commander of the German U-boat U-28, Forstner provides an unvarnished account of the gritty realities of life under the sea, including detailed descriptions of torpedo attacks on Allied ships. First published in 1916, this 1917 English translation aimed to support the Allied war effort by revealing the fearsome nature of their invisible enemy. Inspired by a visit to the captured WWII German U-505 submarine at Chicagos Museum of Science and Industry, this audio reading offers a visceral understanding of the claustrophobic conditions endured by the submarines crew, exemplified by the cramped sleeping quarters nestled alongside 15-foot-long torpedoes. This is a journey into the heart of the submarine warfare experience. (Introduction by Sue Anderson)
