Meet Amanda Chagnon, mom to three beautiful boys including her youngest, Alexios, who has medical complexities due to a condition called Tuberous Sclerosis Complex. Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a rare genetic disease that causes non-cancerous tumors or lesions to grow in the brain and other areas of the body, including the eyes, lung, heart, kidneys, and skin. Amanda shares how motherhood and her nursing background have intertwined, and the blessings and difficulties of homeschooling, especially when caring for a medically complex child. Honest about her struggles, other caregivers may find this conversation refreshing and learn from the ways she has found to manage her internal and external struggles.

All the while, Uncle Roger was closing in on his dream of conquest over all of Sicily…all while playing referee to his two troublesome nephews. Members-Only Series on Patreon:For only a dollar per month, you can hear multiple varying stories and storylines so far through the 11th century, including but not limited to the creation of the Kingdom of Poland, what's happening on the Continent while Duke William is conquering England, and, currently, our series called “The Book of Alexios” detailing all those details of the monumental medieval emperor, Alexios Komnenos, that didn't make it into the public podcast.

PHILOSOPHY SERIES 1: Foundations of Western ThoughtEPISODE 003: Socrates: Ideas Worth Dying ForAfter taking a look at the world of Socrates on the last episode — the Athenian Golden Age, Pericles, the Plague of Athens, the Peloponnesian War — we dive into Socrates' philosophy! Using a handful of Plato's Dialogues — Euthyphro, Meno, Gorgias, Theaetetus, Symposium, and Phaedo — we will find some of the foundational concepts in Western philosophy, foundations that will directly impact not only the Classical Age, but also the beginnings of Christianity, medieval philosophy, and onto today!Members-Only Series on Patreon:For only a dollar per month, you can hear multiple varying stories and storylines so far through the 11th century, including but not limited to the creation of the Kingdom of Poland, what's happening on the Continent while Duke William is conquering England, and, currently, our series called “The Book of Alexios” detailing all those details of the monumental medieval emperor, Alexios Komnenos, that didn't make it into the public podcast.

PHILOSOPHY SERIES 1: Foundations of Western ThoughtEPISODE 001: Socrates In ContextOn this episode, we take a few minutes to outline why Socrates was the way he was and why his life ended the way it did. Philosophy, to some degree, is a reflection on one's world, one's circumstances, and if I try to preach anything it's context matters. We won't always do a “history episode” in this philosophy series, but I just strongly feel that one cannot truly understand the monumental thinking of Socrates without understanding his monumentally important world. Members-Only Series on Patreon:For only a dollar per month, you can hear multiple varying stories and storylines so far through the 11th century, including but not limited to the creation of the Kingdom of Poland, what's happening on the Continent while Duke William is conquering England, and, currently, our series called “The Book of Alexios” detailing all those details of the monumental medieval emperor, Alexios Komnenos, that didn't make it into the public podcast.

ClosingSEASON 7: All Roads Lead to ClermontMiniseries: Iberia on the Eve of CrusadeEPISODE 156: Beginning of the ReconquistaKing Alfonso VI of Leon-Castile, leading up to the pivotal year of 1095, needed to change the face of the Almoravid Conquest happening in Iberia. The Almoravid War Machine was formidable, but that wouldn't draw people to Iberia to help fight against it. He needed to get people to invest in what was happening. But what he did, coupled with outside events at the same time, actually helped inspire something completely different than what he was hoping for. The Beginning of the Reconquista also marks the beginning of the First Crusade.Members-Only Series on Patreon:For only a dollar per month, you can hear multiple varying stories and storylines so far through the 11th century, including but not limited to the creation of the Kingdom of Poland, what's happening on the Continent while Duke William is conquering England, and, currently, our series called “The Book of Alexios” detailing all those details of the monumental medieval emperor, Alexios Komnenos, that didn't make it into the public podcast.

This is an addendum episode. I realized that in the course of narrating some pretty exciting and fast-paced events in 1081, I regretfully felt that there were a few crucial explanations I failed to fully explain. These are very important to understand the entire context, and I felt it necessary to fill in the gaps before moving forward. But this is the process of understanding history, isn't it? If you get something wrong or fail to include something, it's better to take the time and fix the oversight rather than ignore it. Thanks for understanding, everyone. Studying history isn't as linear and simple as those textbooks make it out to be, is it?  Members-Only Series on Patreon: For only a dollar per month, you can hear multiple varying stories and storylines so far through the 11th century, including but not limited to the creation of the Kingdom of Poland, what's happening on the Continent while Duke William is conquering England, and, currently, our series called “The Book of Alexios” detailing all those details of the monumental medieval emperor, Alexios Komnenos, that didn't make it into the public podcast.

What were the reasons — besides the flimsy “deposed emperor turned up randomly in my court 600 miles away to ask for help in getting his throne back” — for Robert Guiscard's invasion of the Balkans and attempt on the crown of Eastern Rome?

NOTE: During this Patreon series called The Book of Alexios, please note that there will be overlap in the episodes between the public podcast and the Patreon Supporting Members podcast. This is intended to help facilitate the merging of these two crucial storylines in (what I hope is) a seamless transition. So, this episode will serve as both public Episode 130 as well as Patreon Episode 23 in the series The Book of Alexios. Emperor Nikephoros III Botanieates is watching his beloved empire continue to collapse all around him. Two major revolts and a breakaway Norman state in his first two years were put down by his trusty young general, Alexios Komnenos, but things didn't die off; on the contrary, the collapse seemingly sped up. On this episode, Nikephoros III begins to see the writing on the wall. That's a curious phrase: “the writing on the wall.” We start off with a little history of where we get so many of our modern day phrases. But after that, when I said things sped up for the old emperor, well…we will end this episode at a breakneck speed, let's just leave it at that. Patreon Series 4: The Book of Alexios Background for this series can be found between episodes 104 and 106. This series fits between public episodes 119 and 131.

NOTE: This episode will also serve as Patreon Supporting Listeners Episode 21 (entitled "The Book of Alexios: Chapter 2: Bryennios's Rebellion"), helping to bridge the public series and the Patreon Supporting Listeners series. On this episode, we see Nikephoros III Botanieates make his first moves as emperor in the wake of the devastating Bread Riots of 1078, as well as his response to the first coup (yes, first coup) against his brief reign, a coup that his most trusted general, young Alexios Komnenos, would be called upon to put down swiftly and decisively. If he thought Roussel de Balliol was a formidable enemy, then Alexios was in for a very rude awakening.

Anna Komnene (1083-1153) has mostly been remembered in history for the failed coup to take control of the Byzantine Empire from her younger brother. But she was also a dedicated historian, and her 13 volume historical work — the Alexios — is one of the most extensive written during the Middle Ages.   For Further Reading: The Misunderstood Byzantine Princess and Her Magnum Opus Anna Komnene - World History Encyclopedia Anna Komnene: The Struggles of a Female Historian in Medieval Times – Retrospect Journal This month, we're pulling back the curtain to reveal women overlooked in their own lifetimes or in our historical accounts of the eras in which they lived. We're talking about the activists, thinkers, leaders, artists, and innovators history has forgotten. History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn't help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should. Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we'll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more.  Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures.  Womanica was created by Liz Kaplan and Jenny Kaplan, executive produced by Jenny Kaplan, and produced by Grace Lynch, Maddy Foley, Brittany Martinez, Edie Allard, Lindsey Kratochwill, Adesuwa Agbonile, Carmen Borca-Carrillo, Taylor Williamson, Sara Schleede, Paloma Moreno Jimenez, and Abbey Delk.
