In 1607, Jamestown’s settlers arrived in Virginia after a turbulent voyage, only to face immediate challenges from leadership conflicts, fragile relations with local Algonquian groups, and a harsh environment. Infighting
Today (a day late, I know!) we officially set off on our deep dive into the founding of Jamestown by focusing on the high-stakes, top secret planning and chaotic voyage of 1606–1607. Driven by a desperate need for profit

In this episode, we look beyond the legend to meet the real Matoaka—later known as Pocahontas—through Powhatan perspectives and sacred Mattaponi oral history. Raised in the Powhatan capital and deeply loved by her father

In this episode, we revisit the so-called “Lost Colony” of Roanoke and why it was never truly lost. From John White’s disastrous attempts to return with supplies, to political indifference, imperial distractions, and mis
The English head back to Roanoke despite everything that should have stopped them: broken alliances, recent violence, and the very clear message that the Secotan did not want them there. In this episode, we follow appoin
This episode unpacks the first Roanoke colony and reveals that the real mystery isn’t what happened to those left behind, but why the English thought it was a good idea to try at all. What starts as an ambitious venture
**Content Warning**: This episode includes a very brief description of the gruesome atrocities by the Spanish against Native Americans. If you wish to skip it, skip from minute marker 8:20 to 8:50. This episode strips aw
This episode is more a summary, kicking off a deep dive into the infamous Lost Colony of Roanoke and peeling back the layers of myth to ask whether the colony was ever truly “lost” at all—or simply abandoned. Driven by i
For millennia, the tradition of telling ghost stories around the fire was a Christmas/Yule/Solstice tradition. I'm personally disappointed the practice has died down, so here I am, bringing it back! Merry Christmas, Bles
Welcome to tales of my travels! From James Oglethorpe’s utopian (and wildly short-lived) vision of a sober, lawyer-free, anti-slavery colony, to a booming slavery-dependent economy, this episode traces how idealism, alli
In this episode, we pick up right where we left off—Plymouth on the brink, alliances hanging by a thread, and Ousemequin suddenly kidnapped in a swirl of Wampanoag-Narragansett rivalries. As the Pilgrims scramble to resc
In this episode, we dive back in with the Mayflower Pilgrims as they limp into Patuxet—land they’ve commandeered from the Wampanoag—and struggle through a brutal winter of illness, hunger, and chaotic colonial drama, all
