Fan of History

Dan Horning and Bernie Maopolski discuss the events of ancient history all over the world, decade by decade, starting at 1000 BC and moving forward. We love history! History, History, History! That’s all we think of … History in the morning, History for lunch, History for dinner… even history right before bed! And we talk about all the key people in Ancient History – Julius Caesar, Gilgamesh, Jesus, Budha, Lao Tzu, Confucious, Solon, Pythagoras, Alexander the Great, Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, Herodotus, Homer, Ashurnasirpal, Sennacherib, Ashurbanipal, Croesus, Cyrus the Great, and Pisistratus. And the Great Historical Civilizations in History like the Assyrian Empire, Israel, Judah, Babylonia, Egypt, Ancient Greece, Roman Republic and Roman Empire, The Zhou of China, India, and the historical civilizations of the Americas like The Olmecs, Maya, and Chauvin. We have another show on this same feed - What’s New In History - that spans all the eras of history. On What’s New in History we talk about AI, DNA studies, archeology, and characters of history like Christopher Columbus, Napoleon, Adolf Hitler, Joan of Arc, Martin Luther, Albert Einstein, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Charles Darwin, and Jesus. We have guests like Daniele Bolelli of History on Fire, Gil Kidron of a podcast of Biblical Proportions, and Gary Stevens of History in the Bible.
