from Historical Quarrels · host Tyler Eckhardt

Join us today as we go over the fable of Sybaris and how its mighty army was felled by musical instruments instead of swords. Today we go over one of the main accounts of this fable given by a roman historian who had a tendency to embellish the truth. We go over what may have been embellished and what may have been true after going over the fable itself and going over wha thas to be some of the most shit talking I have seen a supposed historian do to a people who defined themselves by living in over the top luxury.

Explicit Everyday Anarchism Graham Culbertson The core idea of this podcast comes from David Graeber, who wrote that our everyday life is mostly run on anarchism, and at the same time people believe that anarchism doesn’t work. One of these is wrong. I hope to illuminate how our communities already depend on Mutual Aid, in big and small ways. I'll do that by excavating the historical events and cultural trends you already know about, but have never thought about in terms of anarchism.Find me at https://www.everydayanarchism.com Explicit
