  • 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

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 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.
