Every now and then OFH artist Frank Fiorentino makes an image where I am immediately like "damn... that's a shirt"

We are kicking off October with Werewolves! This mythical beast has a surprising history. How should we understand the "real" werewolves from ages past? I also talk a lot about "werewolf ointment." Enjoy!

Check out the latest Bonus Episode where I answer listener questions about the Parthenon Marbles! I get into the ethics of repatriating objects to dictators and other nefarious characters.

The amazing Frank Fiorentino designed the art for this series so that it could all fit together as one big piece. It's so cool to have a real-ass artist in the mix. Check it out!

The conclusion of our Parthenon Marbles series is out now. I couldn't help but editorialize a little bit in this one. I had some thoughts! Hope you enjoy.

Season 11 kicks off with a look at the Parthenon Sculptures aka the Elgin Marbles. The debate around these controversial museum objects is riddled with historical myths! Did Lord Elgin "save" these works of art or is that fake history?

Season 11 starts next week! In the meantime enjoy the conclusion to our fan-favorite episode on Robin Hood! Do my conclusions still hold up? Is the evidence for a real Robin Hood compelling?

Re-releasing the fan favorite series on Robin Hood with fresh introductions. This series is pure fun and has been a joy to re-visit. I forgot how much I loved the earliest Robin Hood stories.

I suppose you are right. I try to get better every time I am at bat.

Sebastian Major @ourfakehistory.bsky.social · Aug 20

I am bad at saying words. I have hopefully gotten better over the past 10 years. But also shame on the Anglos who first transliterated the Asian languages. They made some preposterous choices that continue to haunt neophytes.

Right!? Just a classic

Considering all his other great artwork, I’m biased as I’m a big fan of Samurai history. But damn this is good!

Part Two in our throwback series on Japan's most deadly wandering Samurai is out now. Check out my all new introduction. Also, is this the best ever episode art from Frank?

Enjoy this super fun throwback episode about the legendary sword-fighter Miyamoto Musashi. Also check my new introduction where I breakdown my flubs about "Bushi-do" and the history of Samurai.

It's all there. I think Lucas has been pretty open about being influenced by Oz.

Sebastian Major @ourfakehistory.bsky.social · Aug 6

I was really proud of this one! I'm glad it resonated with you.

Chef’s kiss for the Wizard of Oz episode. Well performed, great intertwining of stories, and brilliant use of “Money” as the final point.

Congrats and thanks for 10 years.

Thanks my man! It's been a crazy ride with this show. Glad that I get to keep doing it.

Richard Enriquez @richardenriquez.bsky.social · Jul 30

Congratulations on 10 brilliantly amazing years. I can’t say I was there from the very beginning, but a few months in. Definitely from the first season. You and only two others are a constant in my podcast feed. Here’s to many many more years to come. All the best Sebastian. Have a fab day.

I hope you like it! I ended up talking way more about Pink Floyd than you might think.
