    How could walking naked through town be seen as religious? What about digging up a corpse? Or bursting into church services to cause mayhem?


    In this episode, Dr Erica Canela takes Don back to the first years of Quakerism to explore where this religion came from, and how it ended up in the United States.


    Erica is the author of Zealous: A Darker Side of the Early Quakers.


    Edited by Aidan Lonergan. Produced by Sophie Gee. Senior Producer was Freddy Chick.

    What Was the American Ice Age?
    2025/12/01

    For thousands of years, North America was a frozen frontier buried beneath miles-deep ice... How did the first people reach the Americas live here? What was it like to share the land with mammoths, mastodons, and sabre-toothed predators? And what triggered the dramatic warming that brought this icy epoch to a close?


    Our guest today is Dr. David Meltzer, archaeologist and Professor at Southern Methodist University in Texas. He's the author of numerous works including First Peoples in a New World: Populating Ice Age America.


    Edited by Aiden Lonergan. Produced by Tomos Delargy. Senior Producer is Freddy Chick.
