Introducing "The Note Stack"

This week, we’re introducing two new series on Fantastic Footnotes.This is the first episode of one of them—The Note Stack. The Note Stack is our space to talk about new research and news stories in history and archaeology, make corrections or add-ons to past episodes, and just share what Chris and I have been into lately. We’re also rolling out another series called From the Margins. In that one, we’ll still cover our usual weird history topics—just not as in-depth. We will do some quick dives… just enough to whet your appetite. In today’s show, we talk about:– A 2,400-year-old ship graveyard– The bacteria behind strep throat– And a strange occurrence at the Volo Museum We also revisit our last episode on the Shroud of Turin with a new theory and a new study. And in our “What are we into?” segment, we get into AI, Ryan Hall Y’all, and The August Journal. History isn’t boring, you just didn’t read the fine print. This is a public episode.
