Bonus Episode - Minor Miners, Activist Entertainers, and Spanish Painters

About this episode

In this bonus episode, Sebastian answers listener questions about previous episodes and explores themes of activism in entertainment and historical curiosities.

In this bonus episode Sebastian takes question from the listeners about the recent episodes on Henry Box Brown and Snow White. First, we hear some comments from a listener in Iceland who wanted to weigh in on the North American Vikings. Then Sebastian unpacks some tricky questions about the line between activism and entertainment. Finally the host muses about the Mandela Effect and considers an interesting question about little people who were known to serve at the Hapsburg court. Tune-in and find out how the speed of sound, the one ticket sold to Kazaam, and "Minor Miners" all play a role in the story.
