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.

Episode 53
Oliver Cromwell lived life on a different plane from most other people. He established a reputation that enabled him to put in place a crazy and impractical plan to win the Civil War. He was trusted by both the godly and the political radicals, a group with much more overlap than you might think. Episode 53 focuses on his early life and marriage. Episode 54 will get deeper into the military issues and take us through the 2nd Civil War.
Cyrus is the guest for Episodes 53 and 54. High energy and big personality. He has a unique perspective, an artist from a large family and an MMA background.
We do a little more on Oliver’s family life with Camie.
