Acerca de esta escucha

Beyond the grand figures whose names and adventures fill our history books remain the lives of an untold number of people whose experiences - while less glamorous - warrant our attention all the same. Falling by the wayside, into the past’s proverbial gutters, we encounter the often nameless and faceless individuals who were made to live on the fringe of society. This new podcast aims to re-center those narratives; to remember the names and elevate the voices of those who found themselves excluded for their addictions, their maladies, their class, or simply who they loved.


In the first season of the show, with new episodes released every other week, we will dive into the often blurry history of drinking and drunkenness from the ancient world to Prohibition-era speakeasies.

  • Drink as the Romans Do

    Drink as the Romans Do
    May 5 2025
    In this episode, we will see how the Romans took the Greeks’ drinking culture and remade it as their own. Unlike their Hellenistic counterparts, however, the Romans proved to be a bit more rambunctious when it came to their love of wine. And as we will see, some Romans even built (and destroyed) their reputations by it. Tune in to hear a little bit about Roman drinking games, just how much wine the average Roman drank in the past, and how the infamous Mark Antony became one of ancient Rome's most famous drunkards.

  • Messy-potamia

    Messy-potamia
    Apr 10 2025

    Enjoy a bonus second episode this week to celebrate the launch of this show! Look for a new episode to drop every two weeks going forward.


    Traveling to the Middle East, in the ancient region of Mesopotamia, we find the first emerging civilizations, as well as the first appearance of alcohol in writing. To the ancient Sumerians, beer was a magical, healthful drink delivered to them by the gods. Associated with prosperity, serenity, and most of the good things in life, there is one thing we can say for certain about this foundational civilization: they loved to drink beer.


    In this episode we will raise a glass to the history of Sumerian beer and learn about the ancient beer gods, as well as what it meant to drink like an Egyptian.
