Sitting down with this little gem.

I’m breaking from my rule of sticking to medieval or European legacy posts, because I’m loving this World Cup so far. I’ve played and coached and ref’d soccer, and nothing but soccer, since I was five…there is not a more BEAUTIFUL GAME than soccer. And it’s taken a long time, but America is here for it! I fear our star may have burned itself too bright too fast last night, but that was the best game I’d seen the fellas play since the glory days of Donovan-Dempsey-Howard. Enjoying the ride!

Ep211 OUT NOW! This is the culmination of 3.5 years of crusade, from the fertile hills of France to the parched landscape of Jerusalem, upwards of 100,000 Westerners have been reduced to 20,000 or so, and they're on the literal doorstep of their ultimate goal. Here is the long-awaited Siege of Jerusalem, 1099. open.spotify.com/episode/0j0…

NEW episode published! SEASON 8: The First Crusade EPISODE 208: A Crusade Divided Antioch had fallen—and with it, unity. Bohemond of Taranto claimed the city as his prize, but the greater question lingered: who, if anyone, could command the Crusade itself? Raymond of Toulouse would test that claim, pressing southward with visions not merely of victory, but of purpose. Yet between Antioch and Jerusalem lay more than distance—it was a road darkened by hunger, ambition, and fracture. At Ma'arrat al-Numan, desperation reached its most harrowing depths, as starvation drove crusaders to acts that would haunt the memory of Christendom. What began as a holy expedition now strained under the weight of human weakness, competing loyalties, and the terrible cost of survival. The path to Jerusalem remained—but the Crusade itself stood divided. open.spotify.com/episode/1pv…
