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.

It takes a few minutes to get to pirates, but the descriptions of Drakes voyages are good.
A Quokka episode. The first of 3 pirate episodes. The greatest of Elizabeth’s Sea Dogs was Francis Drake, we cover two of his voyages this episode. But what was Francis Drake really? Will you figure it out before Camie does? We also cover witch burning in England and ask why was it so mild compared to on the continent. And what does it signify? Does it help explain the Miracle? And a little Australian history also.
