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/

Noon CST, will be live-streaming my learning of Knight Labs StoryMap platform. Trying to learn this to help a student - should know it already and have worked with Timeline. In any case, stop by and say hi. Also want to see what sort of reach mastodon has for promotion purposes.
