    The 47 Ronin & Feudal Japan

    The 47 Ronin & Feudal Japan

    Revenge. Blood. Honor. Sacrifice.

    In 18th century Japan, the Samurai were beginning to fade into the pages of history. Swordsmen and warriors were becoming bureaucrats and courtiers. But one event stands out amongst an era of relative peace.

    The 47 Ronin incident was one that would exemplify what it meant to be Samurai. 

    Join us on this episode as we take a journey through Feudal Japan and talk about one of the most romanticized moments in history.

Join us as we take a critical look into Reconstruction, and the lasting affect it has had on American history.

Unexpectedly stumbled upon this and so happy I did

I just watched 300 the other day and wanted to listen to a podcast about the Spartan war. After I searched Spotify they popped up maybe 4 podcasts down from my search (so I tried them 4th after the other 3 weren’t my style) and I love these guys so much!

They don’t babble on about inside jokes too much or get off tangent. It’s exactly what I look for in a podcast. Fun, gives me the information I want, the long run time is perfect for me because I like deep dives and most importantly I really enjoy the random factoids they’ll add in because of their love of history. It’s the perfect balance of information and humor.

Great work and happy a movie made me run into this podcast!
