概要

This week in history is one of the most event-packed stretches on the calendar. We open on the Palatine Hill in 753 BC, where Romulus draws a line in the dirt and calls it Rome — and we trace that act's consequences across centuries. Within the same week, Pedro Álvares Cabral stumbles upon Brazil while en route to India, William Shakespeare is baptised in Stratford-upon-Avon, and a French army officer composes La Marseillaise in a single sleepless night.

We cover Napoleon's decisive victory at the Battle of Eckmühl, the very first game in Major League Baseball's National League, and the moment Pierre and Marie Curie isolated a purer form of radium in their Paris laboratory — work that quietly poisoned them while reshaping modern science.

The episode moves into the twentieth century with two of the most consequential moments in scientific history: Francis Crick and James Watson publishing the double helix structure of DNA, and the inauguration of Brasília — a capital city built from scratch in the Brazilian interior in under four years. We close on two harrowing stories: Soviet cosmonaut Vladimir Komarov's fatal Soyuz 1 mission, and one of the most catastrophic marketing decisions in corporate history, courtesy of a certain soft drink giant.

Whether you're a history buff, a curious generalist, or just someone who loves discovering how much happened in a single week across human civilisation, this episode is your brisk, wide-ranging tour.
