Norm Nathan's Vault of Silliness with Tony NesbittNorm Nathan's Vault of Silliness with Tony Nesbitt - Ep 245 - Astron-NormyDid you notice anything about last week’s episode? It was an encore of our very first release from the VoS. Good Ol’ Ep 1. Since we’re closing in on 250, I thought, why not? It was a fresh edit, title and notes.
That episode was so ridiculous I may repeat it every year.
That moves us to this week where we have a NNS from July 23rd, 1995 which I’ve titled: Astron-Normy.
Our Guest was Bob Berman, author of “Secrets of the Night Sky”

There’s something especially funny about someone who tries their best but still manages to get everything hilariously wrong. Over the years, I’ve written about a pirate who’s never seen the sea, a scientist who searches for things that don’t exist, an old west bank robber who always fumbles the loot, and many more kooky characters.

Footnotes of History33 - The Scramble for Africa: New Imperialism and the Triggers for the Second Congress of Berlin 1884-5In this episode, your indefatigable young hosts delve deep into what is really the pinnacle of European Imperialism – the so-called Scramble for Africa, its effects, timeline and the apparent game that European powers seemed to be playing as it advanced.
Traditionally, Africa’s dangerous interior – including disease, dense and almost unnavigable river mouths and hostile populations made it almost impossible for Europeans to even consider “empiring” Africa in the ways that people usually anticipate.
This is reflective a wider trend really.
