  • The All-Gay Army: Ancient Greece’s Sacred Band of Thebes: An Interview with James Romm

    The All-Gay Army: Ancient Greece’s Sacred Band of Thebes: An Interview with James Romm
    Jun 7 2021
    The Sacred Band of Thebes, comprised entirely of gay male lovers, was Ancient Greece’s original response to the gays in the military question. What was that like? How did it function? And what was its lasting legacy? That’s what we’re going to find out today, just in time for Pride Month. Here to help us do it is classicist James Romm, author of The Sacred Band: Three Hundred Theban Lovers Fighting to Save Greek Freedom. By the way, the New Yorker article referenced in the episode is "Ancient Greece's Army of Lovers" by Daniel Mendelsohn.

  • Report From Minneapolis: Making Sense of the Riots Over George Floyd’s Death

    Report From Minneapolis: Making Sense of the Riots Over George Floyd’s Death
    May 30 2020
    My city is on fire today. This is day four of the riots in the wake of the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis Police. And everyone around me is saying, “I’m angry too, but why destroy your own community? It doesn’t make sense.” But is there another way to look at it? In this episode, I share first-hand reports of the riots as well as experiences of income disparity in local schools. By looking behind the violence to the roots of disadvantage, can we turn confusion into empathy? Dead Ideas: The History of Extinct Thoughts and Practices is made with Jetpack Podcast.
