What does the 2nd Mexican Empire, Confederate soldiers on the run, and the TV show The Office have to do with a white supremacist secret society in St. Louis? Author and historian Devin Thomas O'Shea joins us to talk about his fantastic new book "The... more
If you were to walk out onto the street right now and ask the average person to close their eyes and picture an “American Indian,” what images would flash across their mind? For most, those images wouldn’t be of contemporary indigenous lawyers, scien... more

Listened to my 1st episode and YASSSS!!!
I know this question is not answered yet, but I am hoping it to find the convo or look forward to your own prespective of it.
My whole life I have been told Aztlan is Mexico City. Later in life I have met several scholar's and my own daughter who have researched it and it points to the Great Salt Lake, in my home state of Utah.

i came to this show by way of trying to learn Nahuatl through another production of Chimalli Media, Café con Nahuatl, and i have enjoyed listening for several years now. Though the format of the show is consistent the periodic guests and the hosts’ ability to convey pertinent information is indispensably valuable.
Well researched and discussed, these guys have forced me to re-examine and critically consider so many “traditions” I once held as ancestral truths. Thank you Kurly & Tlacatekatl for giving voice to the honest truths about our country that indigenous Xican@ roots. Tlazocomati.
So excited for more new episodes!! I love learning more and I always find their explanations thoroughly entertaining and informative!!
Their takedown of Graham Hancock is a classic. Why did Netflix pay him millions of dollars? Are lies cheaper than reality?
I was listening to Tales from Atlantis before I ever heard of Graham and it is sad that advertisers are paying to promote him instead of Kurly & Ruben.
It’s tough when they’re up against basically fantasy writers making millions selling books they just make up. Is it easier to entertain viewers when you don’t actually have to have evidence for anything.
