Unfortunately there will not be an episode this week. And I'll probably be taking a break soon anyway, but I'll probably get an episode or two out before then. Just a heads up.

I just learned in 2025, Quick History is a top 10 show for 66 fans, top 5 for 35 fans, and is the #1 show for 6 fans. It grew more than 88% of other shows. Fans listened for longer than 74% of other shows, and the rating was higher than 66% of other shows. I'm humbled. Thank you, everyone!

An illness that makes you sleep a lot sounds like a good thing, but it turns out it isn't. In the early 1900s, all around the world, a lot of people died from it!

Mount Vesuvius claimed a few cities when it erupted in 79 CE, none more famous than the ancient city of Pompeii! But this episode isn't about that, it's about another, more well preserved ancient city, Herculaneum! Kinda sounds like a super strong metal in the Marvel Universe.
