    Hardcore History podcast

    Currently listening to Dan Carlin's Hardcore History podcast on Spotify about the battle of Midway. Very good, but 3-hours long. Also excellent was the Celtics vs the Romans. If you're stuck behind a computer like I am, give it a listen.

For instance, the Roman spear would bend on impact, so if launched and landed on shields, the bent spear would drag the shield down and the Gauls would have to drop...

    Glass Castle

    Not normally something that would interest me, but the producer or director grew up on Maui. I saw it on the airplane and really liked it. About a young lady remembering her childhood about her siblings, hippie artist mom and charismatic, but alcoholic dad.
