A couple very long podcasts this week with Wisconsin-associated folks:
Gregory Aldrete, a history professor at the University of Wisconsin - Green Bay, on Roman history: https://lexfridman.com/gregory-aldrete
I highly recommend that one, at least the first part -- the parallels between the fall of the Roman Republic, and decline of the empire are eerily similar to the current situation in the United States. Truly unsettling.
Dan Egan, a journalist who works at UW-Milwaukee, on phosphorus and its role in our civilization: https://thispodcastwillkillyou.com/2024/09/17/special-episode-dan-egan-the-devils-element/
