Hanging with History
The first season focuses on the origins of the Industrial Revolution or the Great Enrichment, we go deep into history to gain enough background knowledge to actually understand the various theories of the origins of the Great Enrichment. Eventually we learn that we also need to know how the miracle was consolidated, as the many other close approaches to the Industrial Revolution failed.A kwirky style, but intellectually ambitious with the goal of understanding history well enough to understand the miracle that happened that one time. It's gonna be a long series.

We cover some of the heroic events that increased pride and self confidence of the Royal Navy: Pellew's defeat of a 74 with 2 frigates and Cornwallis' Retreat.
We also have Richery's expedition which demonstrates the capabilities of the French. They were not always incompetent.
The 1795 Great Winter Campaign, the Battle of the Groix and the 1796 attempted invasion of Bantry Bay are the core events of this episode.
