The Last Mailbag!

About this episode

In this final mailbag episode, Patrick Wyman answers listener questions about historical figures, ancient authors, and the impact of creating Tides of History.

It's time for one last mailbag! I cover everything from which historical figure would be the best Poster on social media to how ancient authors collected their letters for publication to how making Tides has shaped my interests in the past. Patrick launched a brand-new history show! It’s called Past Lives, and every episode explores the life of a real person who lived in the past.
