Patrick is launching a new podcast! You can listen to the very first episode here. ---- Most of the history we're taught revolves around "Great Men," the Napoleons and Alexander the Greats of the world, but they're hardly typical of the human experience. History actually revolves around advisors, merchants, laborers, farmers, and slaves, the common clay of humanity and the raw material for any good story of our shared past. Become a member now at https://www.patreon.com/cw/PastLivesMedia You'll get access to the Past Lives Discord server and four pieces of bonus content per month (including a historian interview, book club, Q and A, and a sources and evidence discussion). Past Lives is a 100-percent independent production, and your support is what allows us to make this show. So, thank you. Past Lives can be found on all the usual podcast platforms. Masters of Our Domain will return on Monday.
