Harry and Rafe discuss the appearance of the Virgin Mary to Juan Diego in 1531. A decade after the fall of the Aztec empire, Diego, a peasant convert in present-day Mexico, is visited four times by the appearance of the Virgin Mary, who tells him to ask the bishop to build a church on Tepeyac Hill in her honor. When pressed for evidence, Our Lady arranges non-native roses in Diego tilma on the winter solstice and, upon presentation to the bishop, a miraculous image is imposed onto and into the very fabric of his cloak, an image of a woman, clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, carried by angel, and carrying a child.The image spans two cultures, the natives of central American and the Spanish Christians, in its iconography and presentation and speaks to both groups about the nature of the mother of the one True God.Diego's cloak still hangs in Mexico City today, four hundred and ninety-two years later, having survived all manners of mistreatment and harassment, a testament to the Christian faith of the Mexican people and Catholics around the globe. Our Lady of Guadalupe is essentially the American continents' first true superhero.This episode is kindly sponsored by BlendJet.Use our special link ("bufnagle") to save 12% at blendjet.com.

Harry and Rafe finish the story of Columbus and his travels to the New World.Columbus struggles to keep control of the colony in the (West) Indies and also struggles to keep control of his reputation and name.The New World is becoming bigger and bigger and looking less and less like The East with every voyage someone, be it Columbus or the Portuguese or the British or anyone, makes west from the Europe-Africa-Asia super continent.In the end, Columbus dies a man trying to defend his name while the nations of world come to grips with the fact that there are things out there they never expected to find, namely two (2!) new continents and an ocean so big that it covers half the planet.But Columbus lives on in a namesake country and in cities and towns and streets and companies and all sorts of other things all over the New World. A bold and daring risk based on bad data and funded by Spain completely changed the understanding of the world.This episode is kindly sponsored by BlendJet.Use our special link ("bufnagle") to save 12% at blendjet.com.

Harry and Rafe continue the story of Columbus and his travels to the New World.Columbus returns to the New World with 17 ships and 1,200 and in late 1493 and finds that the colony he established is completely wiped out. Further attempts to establish a foothold in this land aremet with all sorts of problems and also fail to result in gold or spices or anything else of note; and beyond that, additional exploration of the neighboring islands fails to reveal Japan or China or anything that was supposed to be there based on the knowledge of the time. In the meantime, the English are finding a large coastline high in the western north Atlantic (which will turn out to be the eastern portions of modern day Canada) and the Portuguese are progressing to establish a reproducible route around the southern tip of Africa. So, after things go south in the new colony, Columbus gets called back to Spain to report on things and in 1498 starts a third voyage, this time further south, starting in the eastern Atlantic at the Cape Verde island. Upon arriving in the new world at this latitude closer to the equator, the third voyage seems to have arrived at the very start of history itself...

Rafe is joined this week by Big Brain Smart Head™ Angela Nash to discuss Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein. As Rafe recounts the story, Angela provides a rich commentary on the understanding of the tale. If you haven't read the book but know anything of "Frankenstein", chances are that everything you know about the story is wrong.Set in Geneva in the early 1800s, the novel tells a cautionary tale of a Victor Frankenstein, a truly mad scientist, and a monster that he creates by trying to understand how life animates the material world. The story touches on a wonderfully rich number of broad themes (Good and Evil, Truth, Virtue, Beauty, Justice, Mercy, and the usual Bufnaglely topics) but the primary theme is an investigation into loneliness and the need for human companionship.

Harry and Rafe continue the story of Columbus and his travels to the New World.The three ships under Columbus' command find land on Oct 12, 1492, and Columbus and all his men believe they have arrived in the far eastern islands of Asia. Following interactions with the natives, several months of local explorations, and the Christmas grounding of the Santa Maria, 39 men are left behind to man a hastily-built fort, look for gold, and play nice with the natives while the Columbus boards the Nina and heads back to Spain with the Pinta to report progress to Ferdinand and Isabella. The royals are impressed and commission 17 ships and 1,200 men to return to the New World under Columbus' command in the Autumn of 1493...

Harry and Rafe start tackling the story of Columbus and his travels to the New World. A Genoese sailor, Columbus, while operating out of Portugal, becomes intrigued with the idea of sailing west to reach the spices of the Far East. At a time when a route to Asia had just been determined to be possible (but also impractical) around the Cape of Good Hope at the Southern tip of Africa, Columbus is a man with a flawed idea that simply needs to be tried. Stubborn determination, some bad calculations, and a little good fortune lands Columbus in 1492 with three ships and a blessing from Spanish royalty.
