121: Canal Mania with Kyle Jackson

To celebrate the release of the latest expansion for Civilization 6, Gathering Storm, we're going to be talking about the Panama Canal. The Panama Canal is World Wonder introduced in Civ 6: Gathering Storm that lets you build an exceedingly long canal. On this episode I talk to historian Kyle Jackson about how the Panama Canal got built. You'll learn about American canal envy, yellow fever, and how the Panama Canal was nearly the Nicaragua Canal.
