Season 3, Episode 3: Ancient Science with Richard Carrier, pt 1
Posted on May 8, 2009 (admin)
Hey Everyone,
It’s been a long time! Before my life was swallowed by the podcast of my novel Predestination and Other Games of Chance, I recorded quite a bit for Reprobates Hour. So now, to kick off part 2 of Season 3, Richard Carrier returns to talk about science in the ancient world. We discuss the works and missteps of Rodney Stark and his theory of the scientific revolution, we talk about the amazing and usually forgotten scientific and technological discoveries and innovations in the ancient world, and have a lot of fun along the way. In this first of three episodes, we talk about science in the Greek world. Next week, we talk about the Roman world. Hope you enjoy!
The Reprobates are back in town — spread the word!
Awesome.
its good to see a great podcast with depth returning.
