Hello, this is Abel, speaking from Beijing, China. Welcome to my podcast. The Tale of Rome, Episode 43 — The Appian Way – Part Two. — “One more step, to your left!” The boy, holding the heavy groma, and some 40 paces away from the surveyor, didn’t hear the order. And so — he didn’t move. — “To the left, I told you,” the surveyor yelled. The boy, now startled, jumped to his left. The poor apprentice couldn’t get a single word, because of the strong gale blowing east from the sea. — “A single step, I told you!” The surveyor was running out of time and patience. “What a stulte, this boy,” he muttered to himself. Stulte was the word for “slow” in Latin, especially when someone was — sort of, slow to understand things. In plain English, it would also mean dumb, or dim-witted. So when the boy tried to get back to where he thought the man wanted him to stay, he tripped on a rock. As he tried to avoid the fall, he held on to the groma, and its ferrous tip bent into an awkward angle. And to make matters worse, one of the handles of the groma broke off, as the apprentice tried to hold on to it. The main pole hit the ground, and so did the boy. Like that, the groma was useless. […] Miles and miles of swamps, infested with cattails, frogs, mosquitoes and the ocasional corpses of animals and men, that just couldn’t make it through the land. Here, I would like to add two things. One one hand, the Appian Way wasn’t built in all its length in the year 312 BC. That year, it only got to Capua. And later on — in the year 291 BC, to be more precise, the road would reach the locality of Venusia. We are still some 20 years away from that. And then — another 10 years later, the Appian Way would finally reach Tarentum. By that time, we will be dealing with a whole new topic. The upcoming wars against Pyrrhus of Epirus. And then — after that, the Appian Way will go all the way to the heel of Italy. That is Brundisium. And after that, the road will make a giant U-turn, and snake its way to the other end of Italy. The point where the continent is at its nearest with the island of Sicily. Centuries later, under the reign of Emperor Trajan, the Appian Way will become a true masterpiece for its times. OK, and on the other hand, I need to make a short list of Roman roads — or ways, rather, that ALREADY existed before the construction of the Appian Way. […]

Podcast 25: Live from the Couch! This week is a very special edition of the podcast as we were recording at Couch Brewery with head brewer Cary! Beer #1: Recliner - Couch Brewery (Oatmeal Stout 6.5% ABV) Very dark and not super heavy, we really enjoyed this one. We fired a bunch of questions at Cary and he took them all in stride. His first story was about how Couch got started. Cary explains how he and his crew balance their day jobs and the brewery. Alex asked about how Cary got into craft beer. Cary started out with a lot of imports and kind of grew into his own creations from there. Cary tells the story of how the crew got together and scouted a bunch of places in Pittsburgh to find the perfect location to sit on the couch and drink a beer. Couch is made to be comfortable and relaxed. The story of the bar is up next. Cary and the guys found this dive bar in Tarentum and they snagged the bar when the building was going to be changed over to a soup kitchen… Hilarity ensued. After the bar story, Cary had to check the beer. Beer #2: Wake Up Protocol - Dancing Gnome/Triple Crossing (NE DIPA - 8.5% ABV) Hazy as hell, really refreshing and a solid drinker. Beer #3: Nobody's Robot - Dancing Gnome (DIPA - 8.2% ABV) Very fruity nose. Alex and Sara got a bit of hop bitterness. While Cary was away we discuss the aesthetic of Couch and the furniture. We touched on some of the beers we had during DG's Birthday Party. Hop Culture threw one hell of a bash. Cary returns! Thanks to all of our listeners! From there we discuss social media and technology in the craft beer industry. One thing that stands out about Couch is that Cary and the guys built their “hot side”(where they boil the wort) from scratch and its a totally unique system that no one anywhere has it. He elaborated on the brewery business plan and how they were able to itemize purchases and time frame to develop the brewery. Cary loves welding and basically made the “hot side” from scratch. He expands on that quite a bit. We all start firing shots at Mike, who we've never met but we already love. ANNOUNCEMENT!!!! We will be running a contest on Instagram this week to give away a VIP Ticket to Pittsburgh Libations Week Kick Off Bash!!!! Cary returns! And we fired a bunch of beer questions at him. His favorite beer is Recliner. Mike likes IPAs and Darren wanted a Hefeweizen. Cary explained why they have a wide variety of types of alcohol at Couch. They have a full bar of local spirits to cater to everyone. They carry Boyd and Blair Vodkas, Liberty Pole Spirits, Quantum Spirits, McGlaughlin Distillery, Maggie's Farm Rum, etc. The orange sectional we were sitting on has a great story that Cary told. We have a great discussion on editing and curse words. Jake wanted to make an appearance so we put him on speakerphone. We play Jake's favorite game: “What questions did you already ask?” What's Cary's favorite beer and style? Jake asked the tough questions. What is the hardest part of owning a business in the service industry? Beer #4: Atomic Punk - Couch Brewery (Amber ale with fall spices - 5.5% ABV) There is no pumpkin in this beer. Cary used Atomic Clock and added pumpkin style spices to a keg that's almost kicked already! They're making more though! Cinnamon nose and the allspice and cloves come through in a light and well rounded amber ale. Cary discussed their canning process. Individually canning is extremely labor intensive. They had the whole crew on it for Atomic Meltdown. We have a quick math lesson to figure out about 13 cases of that beer were canned. We finish off our interview with Cary with one of our favorite topics: Can Design. So he told the story of how he met their regular Patrick who designed both cans for Couch. We wrap up with what's coming up and next week's Dancing Gnome Birthday Party recap. Couch Brewery: www.couchbrewery.com Pgh Libations Week: www.pittsburghlibationsweek.com

Hello, this is Abel, speaking from Beijing, China. Welcome to my podcast. The Tale of Rome, Episode 35 — Alexander of Epirus. Last week we left off with five open topics, which we will cover in this episode. They are — as follows: ONE — Our weekly report from Ostia, brought by our loyal slave, who spends entire days on the docks and markets of the port of Rome. This way we get to know what is going on in Greece, since we are in the times of Alexander the Great, and events are too important, to just let them “hang in there” until our episode of the State of the Union. TWO — The tactics of the Phalanx, at the time of the Roman King Servius Tullius. As a side note — at the time of Romulus, Romans fought using a system of just one strong leader, leading his equally strong warriors into hand-to-hand fights. No Phalanxes there, whatsoever. THREE — The continuation of the situation between Rome and the Latins, after the Roman Senate rejected what they asked from Rome. FOUR — The continuation of our family saga, now that we know the whereabouts of Marcus, Falvius, and Spurion, the son of Spurious. AND FIVE — The part where Alexander of Epirus, the uncle of two famous nephews, arrives in Italy, does his thing, and ends up dying in Italy. […] But, just in case, I might as well explain it — briefly. We already know that the people in southern Italy were somewhat peculiar, and we have already seen how the Campanians turned against Rome, after Rome helped them against the Samnites, in the First Samnite War. Well, these people — the people of the Greek colonies in Italy, they were made of the same cloth. After all the help that Alexander of Epirus gave them — they began thinking that the man would suddenly get ideas of making himself some kind of a king in the region. Without even checking, if these were facts or fake news, the people of the city of Tarentum created a huge alliance with all the other cities in the south — and they all went up, against Alexander. What a turn of events! […]

Resuming our narrative of the history of Carthage, we turn to one of the successor realms in the West. Pyrrhus, a second cousin of Alexander the Great, rose to become King of Epirus after a tumultuous and eventful childhood. After distinguishing himself by his skill as a military commander and his personal bravery, Pyrrhus invaded Italy in 280 BC at the invitation of the Greek city-state of Tarentum to support the western Greeks against the rising power of Rome. The resulting Pyrrhic War would be an epic clash between the dynamic Pyrrhus and the solid, relentless Romans, and the conflict would eventually draw Carthage's involvement due to its importance. In this episode, we cover the rise of Pyrrhus up until he sets foot in Italy. In Part II, we will cover the Pyrrhic War in detail and how Pyrrhus's actions set the stage for the Punic Wars to come.

Eric Rood | Veteran Aviator Oral Histories On Episode 37 of Veteran Voices: The Oral History Podcast, we talk about recording veterans oral histories in the world of aviation with Eric Rood of the Experimental Aircraft Association's Timeless Voices of Aviation project. Eric Rood of Columbus, Ohio has been capturing, preserving, and sharing veterans’ stories since 2006. In addition to recording locally, each year Eric travels to the Experimental Aviation Association’s annual convention in Oshkosh, Wisconsin to interview veteran aviators—on the fly, so to speak. Being at Oshkosh working with EAA's Timeless Voices of Aviation project is a wonderful experience for any oral historian or aviation enthusiast (Eric is a pilot, himself), but it is a technical challenge to record so many interviews in such a short period of time. But, he admits, preserving these stories is our obligation to history and a tribute to our veterans' service—especially our WWII veterans. Producer's Note: Nick Grimes is the host of Longest War: The Post-9/11 Veterans Podcast and a combat Army veteran of Afghanistan. This episode was recorded at the Allegheny-Kiski Valley Historical Society and Heritage Museum in Tarentum, Pennsylvania. It is a production of The Social Voice Podcast Network. Host: Kevin Farkas.

Bruna Riccobon | Memoirs of a Refugee Girl WWII came to northeastern Italy and the coastal city of Trieste long before the Germans did. As early as 1940 Fascist Italian rulers were eliminating nationalist and anti-Fascist Italians and Slovenes, imprisoning and killing thousands. As Trieste resistance fighters became active in 1943, German troops were being stationed in the region and ruling the newly formed Italian Social Republic from behind the scenes. By 1944 near Trieste, the Germans had built the only concentration camp (with crematorium) in Italy. Its effects were devastating, killing more than 3,000 Jews, Slovenes, and Italians. When she was a young girl, Bruna Riccobon’s family endured Trieste’s brutal Nazi occupation and subjugation of civilians. However, by 1945 as the Allies gained ground in Italy and forced the Germans to retreat northward, the Yugoslavians moved in on Trieste and liberated the region in the name of communism. The heavy-handed Yugoslavians used their own concentration camps and execution program to punish Fascist and German collaborators, but they also began to purge hundreds of local nationalist and anti-communist Italians. The Riccobon family, having survived the Nazis, where then forced to endure the Tito Communists until the Allies gained full control over the region. On episode 1 of the podcast, Allegheny-Kiski Valley Historical Society and Heritage Museum curator Jamie Stoner talks with Pittsburgh author Bruna Riccobon about her latest book, Memoirs of a Refugee Girl—a story of a girl during WWII in a part of Italy that later fell under communist regime, her years spent in refugee camps and immigration to America, and her struggles to adjust to a new culture and growth into adulthood.
