As our fourth season draws to a close, we've got an apocalyptic, 2-part ending lined up. That's right, we're talking Armageddon, and we don't mean the 1998 Bruce Willis blockbuster. And of course, if we're going to delve into the end of everything, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu are going to need the help of our ever popular archaeology expert and author, Hannah Liu, MEd. As always, though, we start off with the day's joyfully cool cosmic thing, the failed Soviet-era Kosmos 482 lander that was designed to withstand entry into the Venus atmosphere but never actually let Earth orbit and finally just came crashing back home on May 10, just a few days after we recorded this episode! Chuck, Allen and Hannah ponder the possibilities of cataclysmic destruction that the more than half-ton object could produce. Then, without missing a beat, Hannah takes us all the way back to Greek mythology and the Titanomachy, the legendary fights between the Gods and the Titans that were possibly inspired by catastrophic volcanic eruptions that laid waste to the ancient Mediterranean. Chuck jumps continents to discuss the Norse apocalypse known as Ragnarök – casually dropping that is inspired the massively popular Baldur's Gate 3 as he does. Not to be outdone, Hannah brings us all back to the original Armageddon itself: the final battle between good and evil that is foretold in the Book of Revelations to take place at Har Megiddo, the “Hill of Megiddo” in Hebrew. You'll also hear about where the word apocalypse comes from, and why it's become associated with the end of the world, as Hannah gives us all a quick lesson in eschatology, or the study of the end of the world. Our first question comes from Ahmed, who asks, “What are the odds that a killer asteroid will kill us all?” Allen gets a little excited about asteroid 2024 YR4, an asteroid the size of a 15-story building, that is predicted to pass safely by Earth in 2032 but at one point had as high a chance of hitting us as 4-5% – and still has about a 3% chance of hitting the Moon. Chuck explains that the odds of a true “dinosaur-killer” extinction event asteroid impact from an object at least a mile across is about 50 million to 1 in any given year. Hannah points out that it's far more likely that Mount Vesuvius, the volcano that inundated Pompeii, will erupt again. The last one was in 79AD, and since it tends to blow its top every 2,000 years or so, we're due. Moving back further, Hannah tells us about the Minoan Eruption that devastated the isle of Santorini in the Mediterranean, wiping out the city of Akrotiri, around 1600 BCE and was reported as far away as China. And that's just a few of the disastrous historic collapses Hannah shares with us, including the Hekla 3 eruption in Iceland that had may have had something to do with the Bronze Age Collapse. It turns out that the apocalypse is too big for a single episode! Join us in two weeks for Part 2 of our journey into all things apocalyptic.

This is a “wow your friends” wine if there ever was one! Serve this wine, have them guess what it is, and then amaze them with your wine knowledge. Assyrtiko is sometimes called THE Greek wine - the most famous and iconic of Greek wines - and yet not enough people know about it or talk about it. Made for thousands of years, Assyrtiko is the rare white wine that keeps its wonderful acidity even though it is most often grown in warm climates. Keep that in mind, because you might start seeing it grown more and more as climate change impacts the wine industry. You can see this in the episode artwork, but on Santorini they use this cool technique where they train the vines to grow in circles, almost like a wreath, to protect it from the wind. What is also wonderful about this wine is that we found two great wines in this episode, and each was different from the other. One was more of a Chardonnay lover's wine, and the other more of a Sauvignon Blanc lover's wine. But both were worth seeking out. Wines reviewed in this episode: 2023 Alexakis Assyrtiko, 2023 Kir-Yanni The North AssyrtikoSend us a Text Message and we'll respond in our next episode!Contact The Wine Pair Podcast - we'd love to hear from you!Visit our website, leave a review, and reach out to us: https://thewinepairpodcast.com/Follow and DM us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewinepairpodcast/Send us an email: joe@thewinepairpodcast.com

Now, this is a Viking-themed strategy game where players lead their clan to victory by gathering resources, capturing buildings, and expanding their empire. Just picking and placing a tile will not get you a victory, you have some decisions to make that will have you balancing risk and reward. Cretaceous Rails is not a doomed theme park like so many built with dinosaurs as the main attractions. This medium-weight euro game combines economic strategy with thematic elements, allowing players to take tourists on safari and construct a thriving dino resort where every piece in the game is a resource to be used. With careful planning and resource management, you should out-maneuver the other park operators and come away with a victory and not be eaten by the T-rex. Santorini is a beautifully designed abstract strategy game that brings Greek mythology to life and Roxley has taken the new Pantheon Edition up to new hieghts with the components. Gameplay hasn't changed, players take on the role of gods and heroes, competing to build a majestic island of Santorini without getting trapped by the competition. And now with the coop version added to the mix, Riddle of the Sphinx, this should dust of those old copies and get the game back to the table.

Our last episode on second editions of the games Santorini and Tortuga 1667 reminded me about another second edition of a family favorite game that's out now: Parks designed by Henry Audubon and published by Keymaster Games. We covered the first edition of Parks way back on episode 7 of the podcast, and I thought I would reshare that episode here on the podcast feed in honor of the new edition of Parks. In this episode, I'm changing things up a bit and recommending a great board game for couples: Parks by Keymaster Games.I'm a big fan of the US National Parks, ever since I took my kids out west on what we called the Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Tour. We saw the largest of each: we went whale-watching off the coast of San Francisco, we saw redwoods and sequoias in California, and we visited the Grand Canyon in Arizona. We visited three National Parks during that trip—Grand Canyon, Kings Canyon, and Sequoia—and each of them provided amazing sights and experiences.The board game Parks, designed by Henry Audubon, does a great job of capturing the beauty and wonder of the US National Parks. It is the prettiest game I own, with stunning artwork from the Fifty-Nine Parks Print Series. In the game, you take on the role of hikers, exploring the great outdoors and visiting as many National Parks as you can.We have two special guests in this episode. My wife Emily stops by for some color commentary and thoughts on why she enjoys playing Parks. Also, Matt Aiken from Keymaster Games joins us to talk about the origin of the game and why he thinks it's a great game for couples and to tell some stories of people playing PARKS in the great outdoors.See my photos of Parks, First Edition.Learn more about Parks, Second Edition.Order a First Player Token coffee mug.Visit the First Player Token website.Join the FPT Facebook group.Follow @firstplayertoken on Bluesky.Join the Family Tabletop Community on Discord.Music:“Open Road,” “Sunbeam,” and “Summer in Paradise,” https://www.purple-planet.com/.Send us a text

One of the greatest mysteries of all time: Atlantis. What began as a single line in Plato's Timaeus—an island swallowed by the sea in a day and night—has fueled over two thousand years of obsession, speculation, and wild theories.This episode unpacks the origins of the legend, starting with Plato himself. A philosopher, not a historian, Plato introduced Atlantis through dialogues meant to explore morality, politics, and the collapse of civilizations. The tale he tells is rich in detail: a powerful island kingdom of concentric harbors, gleaming temples, and divine bloodlines, eventually undone by its own corruption.From the Temple of Poseidon and its golden statue to the mysterious red metal orichalcum, the description of Atlantis feels more like a blueprint than a metaphor. Yet the story ends abruptly, with Zeus about to speak—and then nothing. Plato left us with a cliffhanger that still echoes.The boys then trace the legacy of Atlantis through history—from the Renaissance age of exploration to Ignatius Donnelly's 1882 book that claimed Atlantis was the mother of all civilizations. They break down the leading location theories, including Santorini's volcanic past, the eerie rings of the Richat Structure in the Sahara, the underwater anomalies near the Azores, and even Antarctica under the ice.But it doesn't stop at geology. Atlantis has become a cultural mirror—showing up in alien lore, Nazi expeditions, New Age mysticism, and blockbuster films. Was it real? Was it metaphor? Or something in between?Whether Atlantis was fact, fiction, or fable, one thing is clear: it's a legend built to last.www.patreon.com/theconspiracypodcast

Story Transcript:Ca: En una terrassa emblanquinada amb vistes al calder de Santorini, Oriol mirava el sol descendre.En: On a whitewashed terrace overlooking the caldera of Santorini, Oriol watched the sun set.Ca: El cel es pintava d'un daurat acollidor, mentre el mar reflectia colors de foc i les falçades de les cases brillaven amb una llum suau.En: The sky was painted in a welcoming gold, while the sea reflected fiery colors, and the facades of the houses shone with a gentle light.Ca: Era primavera, l'aire lleugerament fresc, un escenari perfecte per a un moment que Oriol havia somiat des de feia temps.En: It was spring, the air slightly cool, a perfect setting for a moment that Oriol had dreamed of for a long time.Ca: Des de feia mesos, Oriol estava planejant aquest viatge amb la Laia i en Marc, el seu millor amic, que els acompanyava com a suport moral.En: For months, Oriol had been planning this trip with Laia and Marc, his best friend, who accompanied them as moral support.Ca: Oriol volia demanar matrimoni a Laia i esperava que aquest fos el moment més màgic de les seves vides.En: Oriol wanted to propose to Laia and hoped this would be the most magical moment of their lives.Ca: Però dins seu, un temor s'amagava: temia el rebuig.En: But inside, a fear lurked: he feared rejection.Ca: Hi havia coses no resoltes en el passat que li donaven aquest pànic.En: There were unresolved issues in the past that gave him this panic.Ca: Tot i així, havia decidit superar aquestes pors i seguir endavant.En: Nevertheless, he had decided to overcome these fears and move forward.Ca: La Laia estava absorta en la bellesa del paisatge.En: Laia was absorbed in the beauty of the landscape.Ca: Oriol va agafar l'anell, amagant-lo darrere l'esquena mentre s'agenollava.En: Oriol took the ring, hiding it behind his back as he knelt down.Ca: Però just llavors, en Marc, amb cara preocupada, es va apropar ràpidament i li va xiuxiuejar a l'orella.En: But just then, Marc, with a worried face, approached quickly and whispered in his ear.Ca: Va dir-li que havia descobert un secret: Laia tenia un passat que no li havia revelat.En: He told him he had discovered a secret: Laia had a past she had not revealed to him.Ca: El cor d'Oriol es va encongir.En: Oriol's heart sank.Ca: Com podia proposar-li matrimoni si no confiava plenament en ella?En: How could he propose if he didn't fully trust her?Ca: Va decidir que no podia seguir amb el pla sense resoldre aquesta incertesa.En: He decided he couldn't go through with the plan without resolving this uncertainty.Ca: Es va aixecar, mirant la Laia amb dubtes als ulls.En: He stood up, looking at Laia with doubt in his eyes.Ca: “Laia, hi ha alguna cosa que he de saber, que pot canviar-ho tot?En: "Laia, is there something I need to know that could change everything?"Ca: ”, li va preguntar, una ombra de tristesa en la seva veu.En: he asked, a shadow of sadness in his voice.Ca: La Laia el va mirar sorpresa, però amb tranquil·litat.En: Laia looked at him surprised, yet calm.Ca: "Oriol, ho sé", va començar.En: "Oriol, I know," she began.Ca: "Hi ha una part de la meva vida que mai t'he explicat, però no és perquè vulgui amagar-ho.En: "There is a part of my life that I've never told you about, but it's not because I wanted to hide it.Ca: És perquè volia trobar el moment adequat per explicar-ho".En: It's because I wanted to find the right moment to explain it."Ca: Li va explicar sobre una època del seu passat que havia estat difícil, però que ja formava part de la història.En: She told him about a difficult time in her past, but one that was now just part of her story.Ca: "Era una cosa dolorosa, però vaig superar-ho.En: "It was something painful, but I overcame it.Ca: En Marc me'n va parlar, i avui és un record llunyà", va dir amb sinceritat.En: Marc mentioned it to me, and today it's a distant memory," she said sincerely.Ca: Oriol va sentir com els núvols dins seu es dissipaven.En: Oriol felt the clouds within him dissipate.Ca: Es va adonar que la clau de tot estava en la comunicació oberta i sincera.En: He realized the key to everything was in open and honest communication.Ca: Va comprendre que el seu amor per Laia era més fort que cap dubte o inseguretat.En: He understood that his love for Laia was stronger than any doubt or insecurity.Ca: Amb el sol desapareixent darrere les muntanyes, Oriol va somriure, va agafar de nou l'anell i va dir: "Laia, sé que ningú és perfecte, però junts vull perfeccionar aquesta aventura amb tu.En: With the sun disappearing behind the mountains, Oriol smiled, picked up the ring again, and said, "Laia, I know no one is perfect, but together I want to perfect this adventure with you.Ca: Et vols casar amb mi?En: Will you marry me?"Ca: "La Laia, amb llàgrimes als ulls i un somriure brillant, va respondre sí, confirmant el seu amor.En: Laia, with tears in her eyes and a radiant smile, said yes, confirming her love.Ca: Així, sota el cel daurat de Santorini, van començar una nova etapa de la seva vida, amb la confiança renovada i un futur ple d'esperances.En: Thus, under the golden sky of Santorini, they began a new chapter of their life, with renewed trust and a future full of hopes.Ca: Les onades continuaven trencant suaument contra les roques, i Oriol va entendre que l'amor era aprendre a comunicar-se i superar el passat junts.En: The waves continued to gently break against the rocks, and Oriol understood that love was about learning to communicate and overcoming the past together.

"Saint Irene was the daughter of a princelet called Licinius; named Penelope by her parents, through a divine revelation she was brought to faith in Christ and at Baptism was renamed Irene. In her zeal for piety she broke in pieces all the idols of her father, who commanded that she be trampled underfoot by horses. But while she remained unharmed, one of the horses rose up and cast down her father, killing him. By her prayer she raised him to life again, and he believed and was baptized. Afterwards, in many journeyings, Saint Irene suffered torments and punishments for her faith, but was preserved by the power of God, while working dread miracles and converting many thousands of souls. At last she came to Ephesus, where she fell asleep in peace, in the first half of the fourth century. Two days after her death, her gravestone was found lifted off, and her grave empty. At least two churches were dedicated to St Irene in Constantinople, and she is the patroness of the Aegean island of Thera, which is commonly called Santorini, a corruption of "Saint Irene." (Great Horologion)   Note: The most famous Agia Irene church in Constantinople is not named after her, but for the Holy Peace (Greek Irene) of God, which is Christ.   The Prologue's account differs in several details. St Nikolai places St Irene in the Balkans in the town of Magedon, in apostolic times rather than the 3rd-4th century. In his account Irene learned the Christian faith from her teacher, Appelianus, and was baptised by the Apostle Timothy himself. He attributes the anger of Irene's father to her refusal to marry rather than her smashing the family idols (though of course she might have done both).

En el programa de hoy se analizan algunas de las mayores catástrofes naturales de la historia y su profundo impacto en las sociedades humanas. Se parte de la premisa de que vivimos con una falsa sensación de seguridad, ignorando nuestra vulnerabilidad frente a eventos como terremotos, tsunamis y erupciones volcánicas. Se examinan casos como la erupción de Santorini que debilitó la civilización minoica, el devastador terremoto de Antioquía en el 526, la erupción del Ilopango y su impacto global en el siglo VI, y la del volcán Tambora que causó el “año sin verano” en 1816. También se comentan el terremoto de Lisboa de 1755 y sus consecuencias filosóficas y sociales, la explosión del Krakatoa en 1883 y el tsunami del océano Índico de 2004, subrayando que todos estos eventos, aunque parezcan lejanos, pueden repetirse en cualquier momento, como advierte el caso del supervolcán de Yellowstone.

But the island of Santorini – which was formed by volcanic activity – has a destructive past. In early 2025, over 20,000 small earthquakes prompted a Santorini evacuation. Geologist Shawn Willsey discusses the quakes on Santorini, and dives into the island's destructive past as well as its future.

For Valentine's Day, we're taking a trip down memory lane! In this episode, we're sharing all the details about our honeymoons—how we booked them before we knew about points and miles, what we spent back then, and what we'd do today now that we're points-savvy. Spoiler alert: our original honeymoons were not nearly as luxurious (or strategic!) as what we could plan today. Pam's “Not-So-Luxurious” Road Trip Honeymoon Pam kicks things off by sharing her 1974 honeymoon—let's just say, points and miles were not a thing, and neither was luxury travel. If she could redo it today, Pam would plan a dreamy trip to Greece, flying Emirates business class, stopping in NYC on the way, and relaxing at stunning hotels in Santorini and Crete—all on points. Alex's Two-Part Honeymoon: Park City & Mexico  Since Alex's husband played college football, their wedding date was dictated by the sports schedule, leaving them with a tight honeymoon window.  Flights and accommodations came from family gifts. Today, she would book an easy, stress-free honeymoon at the Andaz Maui using points and a travel credit for a rental car—keeping the travel cost to just $22! Jess's First Trip to Europe: Budget Paris & London Jess technically did use miles for her honeymoon—but in the least efficient way possible. Jess's economy flights to Europe came from years of earning miles on a single airline card. Looking back, she would book Emirates first class to Italy, stay at the Grand Hotel Victoria in Lake Como, and enjoy luxury Hyatt stays in Florence—all for far less out of pocket than she originally spent! Why We'd Do Things Differently Today Weddings are expensive, but newlyweds can use their wedding expenses to earn credit card welcome offers. That means luxurious hotels, business-class flights, and less out of pocket than budget honeymoons!  And the best part is taking “honeymoon-level” trips every single year—because why limit luxury travel to just one trip? If you're planning a honeymoon or dreaming about a do-over, this episode is a must-listen!
