Send us a textI remember distinctly from the early 2010s that it felt like we were culturally obsessed with the end of the world. Everywhere you looked — movies, TV shows, video games — we were surrounded by visions of apocalypse: zombie outbreaks, nuclear wastelands, collapsing civilizations.But why were we so fascinated by it? And what if the end of the world wasn’t just fiction?In this episode, we explore three moments in history where the apocalypse wasn’t imagined — it was real. The Siege of Baghdad in 1258, the slow political collapse of Rome, and the devastating plagues that swept through Indigenous North America. For the people who lived through these events, this wasn’t a story.It was the end of everything they knew.Support the show
