Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

History vs. Egypt's "strongest" pharaoh - Jessica Tomkins
Q: Was Ramesses II truly the great conqueror he's described as in popular history?
The episode argues that while Ramesses II projected a powerful image and achieved notable diplomatic feats, many battlefield victories were likely overstated or misrepresented in propaganda, and the true outcomes are debated among scholars.
Insights from historical presidents - Doris Kearns Goodwin
Q: What does a machine know about itself?
The host explains that predictive analytics in industries like manufacturing and energy can detect signs of trouble and help companies save money by enabling machines to seek help before failures occur, illustrating how data-driven insight guides maintenance decisions.
How much do you actually know about Ancient Rome? - Stephanie Honchell Smith
Q: A. The vomitorium was a room where people could vomit after overindulging. B. The Pythagoreans embraced a vegetarian diet. C. A favorite Roman condiment was sauce made from fermented fish guts.
Vomitoria were simply passageways for crowds to exit or enter arenas, not dedicated rooms for purging; Pythagoreans practiced vegetarianism; Roman cuisine did feature garum (fermented fish sauce), among other condiments.
How much do you actually know about Ancient Rome? - Stephanie Honchell Smith
Q: A. The toga was the cornerstone of daily Roman dress. B. Many Roman women wore dresses made with Chinese silk. C. Urine was the primary laundry detergent for Roman clothes.
Togas were ceremonial for citizens, women wore other garments including fashions involving silk; urine was indeed used in laundering in ancient Rome, but the common laundry detergents and practices were more nuanced than a single source, and the line highlights the use of urine in cleaning and the broader fashion context.
How much do you actually know about Ancient Rome? - Stephanie Honchell Smith
Q: The die is cast. Prepare to spot the lie. A. Gladiators had their own guilds. B. Most gladiatorial fights ended before anyone died. C. Gladiators were from an enslaved class.
Gladiators were often enslaved or convicted criminals initially, but over time freemen and former soldiers joined; while some fights were deadly, it was not universally true that they always fought to the death, and gladiator guilds did develop to organize funerals and pensions for families.
