Episode 46: The Last Great Romans
from Western Civ · host Adam Walsh
In 410 AD the Roman Empire hit one of its lowest points. But, within a decade it had rebounded. The reason Flavius Constantius. Constantius would rebuild the West only to die and early and unexpected death which would then throw the West back into chaos. Aetius would spend a decade cleaning up the mess (again) and would become the dominant force in the West by 433 AD. Meanwhile, the Vandals set sail for Africa with terrible consequences.

Beneath a seductive facade, this city of billionaires, celebrities, and surf bums is hiding something menacing.On September 16, 2009, 24-year-old Mitrice Richardson was arrested by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department for failing to pay her bill at a restaurant in Malibu, CA. After being released from Lost Hills Station shortly after midnight, she disappeared. Eleven months later, her naked, skeletal remains were discovered in a canyon some six miles away.

The Melt Podcast
Chris Snipes
The Melt is a podcast that incapsulates all of the experiences that fall outside of the spectrum of consensus reality. Whether these be drug experiences, paranormal experiences, or religious experiences. The Melt values the lost importance of first hand experience. Not everything can be quantified, measured, or repeated in a laboratory. Some things only happen in a spontaneous and immediate fashion and are not subject to repetition on demand. There is a vast expanse of phenomena that Western society and it’s institutions don’t see as valuable or worthy of exploration. The Melt does. The Melt wants to hear your stories and wants to tell your stories. The Melt seeks to not only be a place within which to do that but also where we will talk to other experiencers, people who study these experiences, and people write about these experiences.
