General CuriosityE6 - The Mayflower Complex: Missteps, Mayhem, and the Messy Birth of a NationIn this episode, we pick up right where we left off—Plymouth on the brink, alliances hanging by a thread, and Ousemequin suddenly kidnapped in a swirl of Wampanoag-Narragansett rivalries. As the Pilgrims scramble to rescue their tenuous lifeline, we dive into the tangled politics, uneasy trust, and cultural misunderstandings that shaped the colony’s fragile first year and later spread. We wrap up the Mayflower by exploring how an alliance born of desperation helped spark centuries of conflict and myth-making. And as we head toward America’s 250th, we ask what it really means to confront our past with cu...
2025-12-1141 minGeneral CuriosityE5 - The Mayflower Complex: A Colony of Unfortunate EventsIn this episode, we dive back in with the Mayflower Pilgrims as they limp into Patuxet—land they’ve commandeered from the Wampanoag—and struggle through a brutal winter of illness, hunger, and chaotic colonial drama, all while the Wampanoag, led by Massasoit Ousemequin, weigh whether to wipe them out or work with them. From glacial-paced house-building to the shock of an unexpected Native visitor, through Tisquantum’s complicated, world-spanning backstory and the uneasy alliance that followed, this episode unpacks just how razor-thin the Pilgrims’ survival really was—and how these early, fragile relationships helped set the stage for the future Un...
2025-12-0450 minGeneral CuriosityE4 - The Mayflower Complex: Truth, Tradition, and the First ThanksgivingThis Thanksgiving mini-episode untangles the myths around Plymouth Rock, the Pilgrims, and that famous 1621 feast—spoiler, it was way less magical than the storybook version—and shows how the real meaning of the holiday actually comes from Lincoln using Thanksgiving to help reunite the country during the Civil War. By zooming out and telling the whole messy, fascinating truth, we can still celebrate gratitude, connection, and the good in our lives… just without the sugar-coated mythology. Please excuse the mic bumps in the background, I had to record in the tiny closet of a hotel room while vacatio...
2025-11-2723 minGeneral CuriosityE3 - The Mayflower Complex: Wampanoag Ways and Gathering StormsToday, we put a pin in the Pilgrims and focus (extra long) on the world they were walking, or rather stumbling, into. Long before the Pilgrims commandeered one of their abandoned villages, there existed a widespread population of sachemships, rich creation stories, highly sophisticated agricultural techniques, and engineering that outclassed the colonists’ "civilized" huts. We cover their 13-moon calendar, community-first values, and the political pressure they faced after devastating epidemics and growing threats from the Narragansett. All of it builds to 1620, when their leader has to decide if these fragile newcomers at Patuxet are a problem… or the unlikely alli...
2025-11-201h 29General CuriosityE2 - The Mayflower Complex: Compacts, Corn Heists, and ContradictionsThe Separatists who founded Plymouth Colony set out to build God’s perfect community—and immediately met with obstacles. After fleeing England, ditching the Dutch, and surviving a miserable Mayflower voyage, they landed way off course and wrote the surprisingly secular, and later influential, Mayflower Compact to keep the peace. What followed was an exhausting exploration, stolen corn, and divine excuses, as they laid the shaky, ironic groundwork for America’s “city upon a hill."

You can skip 30 seconds past it and not lose any information- sorry!! The definition of "curiosity": 1. A strong desire to know or learn something or 2. A strange or unusual object or fact.This podcast is all about my passion for learning and what I am currently learning about. And I have to do something with all that information! So if you would like to learn some new things, please foll...
2025-11-0628 minGeneral CuriosityE1 - The Mayflower Complex: God’s Chosen and They Know ItThey left England for “religious freedom”… but only for themselves. As we explore the deep roots causes of the American War for Independence, which started in Massachusetts, we dive into the real, detailed story of the Mayflower Pilgrims — from sneaking out of England and clashing with the Dutch to surviving a leaky ship and founding Plymouth Colony. It’s a tale of faith, stubbornness, irony, and the birth of unique personality- one that would, generations later, influence the founding of a nation.

Instead, we’ll attempt to answer the question that has been plaguing literature lovers since the dawn of time — is Moby-Dick the best novel ever written or is it a 206,000-word abomination that would best serve as the anchor to a whaling ship?Well also explore other important questions such as: What are Moby-Dick’s best non-narrative chapters? What is skrimshandering? And whatever happened to good old-fashioned monologues? Resources:Why Read Moby-Dick? by Nath

My Two CentsEp. 15 - Football Is Back (Ft. Alex)Per Wikipedia, regarding Comeback Player of the Year Award: "While the criteria for the award is imprecise, it is typically given to a player who has overcome adversity from the previous season—such as an injury or poor performance—and performed at a high level." However, Doug Flutie has won this award so therefore it is a dumb award.
