Toothpocalypse

from Shift Happened

Leslie disappears for an emergency root canal, so Houston walks Stitch through the wild history of dentistry, from ancient skull drilling to the days when cocaine showed up in the exam chair. Then the crew dreams up what life looks like when someone hits a trillion dollars, from buying Switzerland to wiping out hunger at home, and why that tidal wave of cash feels so weird. Along the way they hit the death of the penny, a Little Caesars run at 107 miles an hour, World Kindness Day, she sheds and a big invite to Mountain West Beer Fest. Hosted on Acast.

Was it barbarian invasions, economic decay, religious change, or a fatal cocktail of systemic failures? "Fall of Rome Podcast" delivers a compelling, daily narrative that dissects the epic unraveling of the Western Roman Empire, moving beyond simple myths to explore the complex, human-driven causes of one of history's most pivotal transformations.This show chronicles the dramatic centuries from the crisis of the third century to the final eclipse of imperial power in the West. Each concise episode tackles a specific event, theme, or figure: from the reforms of Diocletian and Constantine's conversion, to the Gothic migrations, the sacks of Rome, and the rise of barbarian kingdoms. We examine military decay, bureaucratic bloating, economic collapse, and the profound cultural shift from paganism to Christianity, weaving political drama with social and economic realities.Listeners will gain a nuanced, co Serve into December: The College Volleyball Show Jeremy Cleveland Women’s college volleyball is awesome, and this podcast is built to prove it.

Show host Blake Wyland intended to start a podcast where he took a deep dive with his guests from the guitar world to explain their rigs. What happened was that, but also a whole lot more. The show quickly evolved into discussions about people's lives. Guitars, pedals, amps, etc. are the central hub of the show, but it really is more about the PEOPLE behind all of it. Both the musicians who use the gear, and the folks that create these magical tools of expression. You can expect chats about songwriting, favorite bands, family, loss, addiction, conspiracy theories, philosophy, and most of all....... food. This podcast goes all over the place. Come take a ride.
