We have come to the end (or almost the end) of our long, sweeping epic history of the Goths. But we have one corner of Gothic history as yet uncovered: what is the connection between Gothic literature, music, art and fashion, and Goths (the Germanic / Hunnic / etc. people who sacked Rome and occupied Italy)?
Join us as we make some questionable leaps in logic and take some big swings in trying to connect Goth with Goth. In the first part of the episode, we discuss the dark opulence of Goth—and its connection to a legendary, possibly cursed Visigothic treasure gained via plunder.
