A proposito di questo titolo

 History's Arrow is a podcast about real people, big questions, and the long story of civilization--told by Harmonia, a time-traveling goddess who's been watching humanity since the first campfire stories. Each episode explores a moment in history through the eyes of someone who was there--leaders, rebels, inventors, prophets, and ordinary people caught in extraordinary times. But this isn't just a collection of facts. It's a story about how choices ripple through time, how ideals rise and fall, and how history bends slowly toward something better... if we help it. For curious kids, thoughtful families, and anyone who believes history has meaning.copyright Red Buoy Media Letteratura e narrativa

    Feb 7 2026
    Rome's aqueducts were marvels of engineering---but they only worked because someone made them fair. In this episode, Harmonia reflects on Frontinus, the Roman official who turned knowledge into accountable systems, and why civilizations endure not through invention alone, but through disciplined care of what everyone depends on.

    Pliny the Elder

    In AD 79, as Mount Vesuvius erupted, Pliny the Elder chose to move closer---not to escape, but to understand. In this episode, Harmonia reflects on Pliny as a threshold figure in human history, standing at a moment when gathering knowledge still seemed enough. His life and death invite us to ask what responsibility comes with knowing more than we can yet fully comprehend.
