The real story of St. Patrick, Bayard Rustin, and the Ides of March.
from The Glorious Beard Podcast · host JXB Media
The Glorious beard podcast - Episode 7March is here, and with it comes stories of legendary figures whose legacies shaped history. This episode dives into the real story behind St. Patrick, the man who wasn’t even Irish but became Ireland’s patron saint. We unravel the myths, explore his time as a captive shepherd, and examine how his mission forever changed the Emerald Isle. Then, we spotlight Bayard Rustin, the strategist behind the 1963 March on Washington. As an openly gay Black man in the early 20th century, he faced challenges that nearly erased his contributions to the Civil Rights Movement. Yet, his influence shaped the fight for justice in ways that still resonate today. And of course, beware the Ides of March! We revisit the infamous assassination of Julius Caesar, the betrayal that reshaped the Roman world, and the fateful prophecy that warned him of his demise. Join us as we celebrate history, rebellion, and, of course, the power of a glorious beard. #TheGloriousBeard #Podcast #StPatricksDay #BayardRustin #IdesOfMarch #HistoryPodcast #BeardCulture #CivilRights #AncientRome #IrishHistory #JuliusCaesar
