This week's show is on South Africa, a much more historic region than many realize, it has been making wine for more than 350 years. Although considered a 'New World' wine region, winemaking and ethos are often more oriented towards the Old World. Its style often straddles the line between New and Old World, offering fruit-driven wines with minerality, earthiness, restraint, and higher acidity. In this show, I talk about the unique conditions of this country, located between latitudes 27° and 34° south. I discuss the lengthy winemaking history, and how the Mediterranean climate, old soils, and a unique topography create world class wines of mainly Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinotage, and Merlot.

Not of all wine news is about a drop in sales or activity...wine tourism is up. On Wine Talks I regularly discuss the idea that wine is headed back in time to the days where the experience of wine is driving the interest in wine. Winery tastings, wine pairing dinners, day long wine excursions and more are peaking the interest in not only wine enthusiasts but wine novices the same. One destination that is working hard at luring wine travel is Armenia. I have keen interest in understanding the value of and the current climate of wine tourism in my country of heritage. Lilit Gregoryan is on the forefront of the movement and we had a chance to catch up and discuss the current state of Armenian wine travel. I have to tell you, sitting down (virtually, in this case) with Lilit Grigoryan for this episode of Wine Talks was one of those conversations that leaves you thinking long after you hit “stop recording.” Now, I'll let you in on a little behind-the-scenes secret: this was our third crack at getting the tech to play nice for a clear connection between sunny Southern California and Yerevan, Armenia. You could say we worked up a thirst before we even started talking wine. Right from the get-go, Lilit came in with the big picture view—“Winemaking and wine are rooted as a nation in our DNA.” That statement stuck with me. For all the talk we have about terroir, varietals, and fancy cellaring techniques, sometimes you need a reminder that, in places like Armenia, wine's not just a beverage or even an export—it's part of the cultural bedrock. She made the bold and very true point: Armenia isn't just learning from Europe; it's reminding Europe, and the world, where winemaking really started. What really fascinated me was her work in building up the Council of Enotourism. Now, enotourism anywhere is having its moment, and Armenia is no exception. I'll admit, I ended up tumbling down memory lane—remembering road trips that started off about something else (the Monaco Grand Prix, in my case) and somehow veered, as everything in my life seems to, straight into wine country. The magic of enotourism, Lilit pointed out, is that it's about more than tasting rooms. It's about connecting public, private, and even academic stakeholders—guides, wineries, archeologists, whole communities—to put Armenia back on the wine map. There's a humility that runs deep in Armenian winemakers, which, as Lilit mentioned, maybe ought to be set aside for a bit of healthy self-promotion. Why not, when you have 6,100-year-old wine caves that literally rewrite the history of viticulture? This is a nation where, she told me, even the rituals carved into fourth- and sixth-century churches tell the story of wine's place in life and faith. “We are the shoulders that the Old World stands on.” I scribbled that down—it's one for the ages. We got into some wine geek talk (couldn't resist)—about amphora and the ancient methods now making a comeback from Bordeaux to California. Funny thing, the rest of the world calls it trendy; for Armenians, it's just Tuesday. And I had to laugh—she talked about roadside wine in Coke bottles, and yeah, in 2007, I could barely choke down what I found. But the leap in quality is astounding. Armenian winemakers today are winning international gold medals! You can feel the pride simmering up—and frankly, that's as it should be. Lilit's also candid about the challenges—lack of unity among stakeholders, the need for more education, and the always-present tension of getting government support. Reminded me of local feuds in the LA trade; everyone wants the same thing, but getting consensus? It's like herding cats with corkscrews. But what I love most is her conviction: this is a marathon, not a sprint. Armenians have always been resilient—she's sure, and so am I, that Armenia's renaissance is just getting started. And let's not forget, she humbly attributes her passion to being “one cheeky university girl” drinking wine with her friends, which, honestly, is how the best careers begin. Lilit is creating a movement, and you can feel it—one that won't just put Armenian wine on the table but will make it impossible for the world to ignore. So, next time you're reaching for something old-world or new-world, remember Lilit's words: “We are ancient world.” And maybe, just maybe, it's time to pour Armenia into your next glass.

Rob and Val are back with another patent-pending LORE video, this time deep-diving the Grand Cathay book to answer the eternal question: WHAT'S GOING ON WITH CATHAYAN LOGISTICS? The Old World is a mess. The Empire's leadership is distracted, the Elves are ignoring their DMs, and Frydaal the Chainmaker is having the time of her life carving up the Westerlands. With no one else stepping up, it's time for the Dragon siblings to assemble a fleet, awaken some Terracotta Sentinels, and sail halfway across the world to sort everyone out. Join us as we talk geopolitics, the economics of the Old Silk Road, why there are so many boats, and whether or not Vampirates are confirmed (they are).

In this episode of Ethnocynology, host David Ian Howe sits down with friend and creator North02 to dive into one of North America's most fascinating and overlooked archaeological stories—the Old Copper Culture.Together, they explore how Native communities in the Great Lakes region began shaping some of the world's earliest metal tools and weapons, thousands of years before metallurgy took hold in Europe. From massive copper swords and fishing hooks to spear throwers and intricate ornaments, this culture reveals a technological world far beyond the usual “stone tool” narrative.We discuss:Why Michigan and the Great Lakes hold the purest copper deposits in the worldHow hunter-gatherers mined and hammered copper into tools as early as 9,500 years agoThe mysterious rise and fall of copper mining, and why production suddenly stoppedConnections to Paleoindian cultures like Clovis and Agate BasinThe difference between copper use in the Americas and the Old World's Bronze AgeHow copper shifted from practical tools to symbols of power and statusAlong the way, North shares insights from his upcoming documentary on the Old Copper Culture, his hands-on experiments with copper tools, and why this forgotten chapter of prehistory deserves a place in public imagination.If you've ever wondered whether North America had its own “Copper Age”, this episode will change the way you think about early technology, innovation, and the ingenuity of ancient peoples.TranscriptsFor a rough transcript head over to: https://www.archaeologypodcastnetwork.com/ethnocynology/22Links:Great Water: The Lost Mines of Lake Superior by David P.

What happens when you take your wellness to a whole new level at a Polish health clinic, following rituals straight out of old-world Europe? Let's just say it involved a vegetable-only cleanse, 3x a day water massages, and more parsley than you can possibly imagine.

Welcome to the series on COVID-19. Pandemics have shaped our world more than we realize. Long before 2020, waves of disease had already changed the course of history, toppling empires, fueling superstition, and forcing societies to reinvent themselves. In this episode, we trace that story—from the dusty streets of ancient Athens to the silent cities of lockdown in our own century.We start in 430 B.C., where the Plague of Athens raged during the Peloponnesian War, bringing chaos to one of the world's great city-states. We move forward to the Roman Empire, where the Antonine Plague killed emperors and soldiers alike, weakening the empire's hold on the known world. And then we come to the most infamous of all—the Black Death. In the mid-14th century, a microscopic invader erased nearly half of Europe's population. People watched their neighbors die in days, families abandoned their own kin, and eerie figures in long leather coats and beaked masks stalked the streets, hoping the herbs stuffed into those grotesque “noses” would ward off the poisoned air. The image of the plague doctor became one of the most haunting symbols in history.But pandemics didn't just strike Europe. When Columbus crossed the Atlantic, he carried something deadlier than steel—smallpox and measles. Within a century, these Old World diseases wiped out up to 90% of Indigenous populations in the Americas. Entire civilizations, like the Aztecs and the Inca, fell as much to pathogens as to conquest. And in 1918, influenza killed tens of millions around the globe—claiming more lives than World War I itself—while cities struggled to dig enough graves for the dead.All of these echoes lead us to the modern era. In late 2019, mysterious pneumonia cases in Wuhan, China, turned out to be the start of the biggest global event in living memory. Within weeks, COVID-19 swept the globe. Borders closed, cities locked down, hospitals overflowed. Entire nations were asked to stay inside while streets fell eerily silent. Conspiracy theories swirled—from whispers of a lab leak to wild claims about 5G towers and microchipped vaccines—while scientists worked around the clock to create vaccines at record speed. For the first time in history, billions of people were vaccinated within a year, an achievement as remarkable as it was divisive.In this episode, we tell the story of pandemics past and present: the Black Death, the devastation of the Americas, the Spanish Flu, Bird Flu scares, and finally, the full arc of COVID-19—from its mysterious origins to its conspiracies, tragedies, and the ways it reshaped how we live. It's a story of fear and resilience, ignorance and discovery, and ultimately, a reminder that pandemics are as much about people and power as they are about microbes.www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast

The Bangkok Podcast | Conversations on Life in Thailand's Buzzing Capital
While Greg is travelling in Canada, Ed interviews old friend of the podcast Jonathan about his recent trip to Europe. Jon and his Thai wife Poom spent a couple weeks on vacation, first in Paris and then in Poland. Jon begins talking about the multicultural nature of Paris, something he's familiar with as a native New Yorker. He and his wife revelled in Paris's famous street culture: streets are very walkable, cafes abound, and sights are aplenty. In fact, Jon's only worry was being ID'd as an American, leading to a funny story about his and his wife attempting to look European. Listen in for the details. Ed asks about the safety of Paris, something it's not known for, and Jon admitted to being apprehensive but admits that at least on this trip, they never felt uncomfortable. On to Poland! Ed asks if there was an immediate difference between France and Poland, and Jon noted that both are very European and that he did not feel straight away as if he was in a different world. However, one difference was that Poland appeared to be less multicultural, causing he and his wife to be a little more self-conscious. But the Poles were friendly, and surprisingly, he and his wife found an excellent Thai restaurant in Krakow. Who would have guessed? Jon reveals his true colors as a Bangkoker when he admits that after two weeks of the Old World, he was more than ready to return to the Big Mango.

IWP Ep87 Unfiltered - Conversations About Wine - Panel 2 Terroir. Today is the 2nd in our series of Panels from the Unfiltered, - Conversations about wine panel. Terroir is the theme of the day. Pick dates, handling, pressing, fermenting, aging—there are just so many decisions and variables, and each one can nudge the flavor just a little bit further from its original profile. So is terroir really a thing? And is it an important thing? And can you really taste it? Jared Brandt of Donkey and Goat moderated the panel, Kan Kurtral returned for another panel along with Kristy Tacey from Tessier wines, Darek Trowbridge of Old World also returns as a panelist along with William Allen from Two Shepherds, and Shaunt Oungoulian of Leslunes and Populis. If you haven't heard the first panel discussion, it's really worth listening too and can give you some more background on the festival itself. https://www.oldworldwinery.com/https://www.lesluneswine.com/https://www.donkeyandgoat.com/https://tessierwinery.com/https://twoshepherds.com/https://kurturalwines.com/Follow the podcast at www.instagram.com/indiewinepodcast or email indiewinepodcast@gmail.com with questions, comments or feedback.

This week, the guys explore the idea of a primordial tradition, an ancient, esoteric current of knowledge, woven through mythologies across the world, with a focus on Native American traditions. They discuss the possibility that the Knights Templar may have reached the Americas long before Columbus, forming secret brotherhoods with Indigenous peoples and sharing in sacred knowledge. From Templar flags on Columbus's ships to the mysterious symbolism of ancient mound sites, they trace the hidden codes, handshakes, and Atlantean echoes that suggest a deeper, forgotten history connecting the Old World and the New.

When making their wish lists, many hobbyists identify spiders like Old World tarantulas and giant tropicals that they'd like to keep one day, but don't currently feel ready to do so. Although some folks can just jump right into the deep end with an "advanced" species, others want to take their time to gain experience with other spiders before making the jump. In this episode, I'll share some of the tarantulas that I think make good stepping-stones to keeping the more advanced species.
In this episode of the line, it is a true shout-out to Lancaster, Pennsylvania's heritage, legacy and future. I sat down with Levi of Quarry View Building Group and we discussed the importance of not allowing progress to destroy the experience of making sure that we remember the old ways. We can pay homage to the way that things were done while learning new things, but still not forgetting the old things. It's important to remember those who have come before us. In this episode, we get to experience some of their work and their tradecraft. What I will tell you is, Levy shares some of the most honest answers and invites you into a truly humbling and real conversation.

The Independent Characters - A Warhammer 40k Podcast | Radio
The Independent Characters is a show focused on the universe of Warhammer 40,000. However, for one of the first times ever, we are going to take a slight tour and perhaps a dimension hop to discuss an Old World topic! In this episode of The Independent Characters, we dive into the crumbling streets of the City of the Damned with Episode 260: Mordheim - Warbands and Wyrdstone. Carl, Josh, and Jody explore the gritty skirmish game that captured the imaginations of Warhammer Fantasy fans back in 1999 and still lives on through a passionate community today. We'll break down the core mechanics of Mordheim, how warbands are built and evolve, and what makes its campaign system so enduring. Then, we recount our own recent two-day campaign weekend—hosted by Jody—where warbands clashed, wyrdstone was hoarded, and lasting stories were forged in the ruins. From preparation to final battle, we share the triumphs, tragedies, and unforgettable moments of bringing this classic game back to life. While this isn't our usual content, if you're a veteran of the old world or just discovering Mordheim for the first time, this is an episode not to miss!
