An irreverent, geeky, and occasionally gory History podcast where we discuss the past and the stuff that made it. Mixing material culture, microhistory, and storytelling, we find new angles from which to examine world history through strange and interesting objects. We are two history professors from different cultures and a generation apart in age. Join us as we laugh and learn together.

S1 Ep7: Episode 7 - Snake Women, The Devil's Trumpet, and Planet Disco
In this episode Tracey talks about news of missing Icelandic skulls and Ashley is extraordinarily happy about a giant, space disco-ball. Tracey's piece of stuff discusses the plant datura (or devil's trumpet) and people trippin' balls globally on it for recreational or religious purposes, while Ashley examines the transregional phenomena of snake deities being depicted as women. Strap in we are in for a bumpy ride!
