Thimble of Whiskey - Forrest Shrimp & Waging Wars

  • Summary

  • Sit back and relax folks, because we're about to embark on a captivating journey through history, warfare, climate engineering, and secretive society mysteries, all while sipping on a delightful Sauvignon Blanc. We'll take you back to the Elizabethan age where the drama between royal half-sisters Queen Mary and Elizabeth unfolds, and celebrate the birth of Tiberius, son of Augustus, and his impact on the Roman Empire. Curious about the transition from primitive skirmishes to organized conflicts? We've got you covered, as we delve into the various historical massacres across Kenya, Austria, Germany, and Spain, and the technological advancements in weaponry.

    But wait, there's more! We'll navigate the controversial waters of climate engineering, discussing the potential solutions to slow down the ice melt in western Antarctica. We'll unpack two theoretical climate engineering techniques, stratospheric aerosol injection and marine cloud lightening, all while taking into account the associated risks and potential complications. Then we'll dive deep into the secretive world of the Nizaris, an ancient society that you'll find has a rather surprising link to the popular video game, Assassins Creed. We're just as intrigued as you are!

    Lastly, as we swirl our glasses and pour out the last drops of our Sauvignon Blanc, we'll uncover the fascinating cultural significance of Attenborough's long-beaked echidna, one of the five egg-laying mammal species in the world that has not been seen in 60 years. We'll also explore some of the most bizarre news stories happening around the world, and yes, we'll be talking about tree shrimp! So come on over, sit back, and join us as we combine history, science, and a few quirky bits to make your listening experience a truly enjoyable one. We promise you won't regret it!
