Listen "Plagues and Pandemics - Does History Repeat Itself?"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textFrom the plague that tore through Athens during the Peloponnesian War… to the one that halved the Roman Empire… from the Black Death that turned medieval Europe into a graveyard… to the global chaos of the 1918 flu, and the modern shadows of SARS and COVID-19—pandemics have shaped the world far more than we like to admit.Far from being rare catastrophes, plagues are relentless visitors—toppling empires, collapsing economies, igniting fear, and rewriting the rules of society.In this powerful episode, join Keith as he traces the terrifying legacy of history’s deadliest epidemics—exploring how disease has repeatedly disrupted the world order, sparked rebellion, reshaped cities, and brought rulers to their knees.This isn’t just a story of illness—it’s the story of how humanity survives, adapts… and what we lose along the way.Referral Links:The Black DeathCOVID-19Support the showFor books written and published by Keith Hocton www.entrepotpublishing.com
