About this listen

Strider Wilson hosts a podcast delving into history through the perspective of a mature erudite bro. He was one unit away from a history minor at U.C. San Diego, but he does’t let that stop him from examining what it would have been like to be a bro posted up on Bunker Hill or uncovering what the chillest aspect of surrealist art is. Buckle up because Strider will not only venture into humanity's shared past. He will venture within himself. Asking real questions such as, “exactly how tight are pirates,” or “what if he stayed that extra semester in school,” “would my life have been danker?” Strider firmly believes that history is tight because we all should for sure blaze our own trails… but in what direction?

  • Baroque Art & Bernini Sculptures With Harmony McElligott
    May 20 2025

    We often wonder, what would it have been like to go back in time and be there for a major event. Perhaps Baroque art is the pasts premiere way of transporting and observer to a brief moment in time. Harmony breaks it down for us using, "Rome's last true Renaissance man," Bernini.
