Snakes & Otters Podcast

Episode 154 ”Remaking the World with the Peace of Westphalia”

Robert defenestrates this one for the guys and it was a long time in coming. He's right on the money though, this treaty from 1648 is an important marker in world history. 

Episode 153”Hoopajoob! The Shopping Carts Morality Test!”

Robert captains probably our weirdest hoopajoob yet, wherein the guys talk about what returning a shopping cart to the parking lot corral means for character, society and Nietzschean rebelliousness. 

Episode 152 ”An Episode About Nothing: The Genius of Seinfeld”

Martin yada yada yada's the guys through an episode about Seinfeld, the sitcom about nothing. They follow the show's rules, and there's no hugging, no growth. Not that there's anything wrong with that. 

Episode 151 ”Our Heroes: T. S. Eliot”

Martin captains an episode about an unlikely hero to the gang, 20th Century foundational poet, playwright and cultural critic T. S. Eliot. I should have been a pair of ragged claws scuttling across the floors of silent seas, indeed. 

Episode 150 ”Code of Honor April 2022”

Francis takes charge of the buck and half episode and of course very fittingly it is a Code of Honor. Here's where you can find the answer to the opening line: P.J. O'Rourke, Matthew McConaughey and somebody else walk into a bar . . . 

Episode 149 ”The Knights Templar”

Martin leads the charge on a history episode on the real story of the Knights Templar. Dan Jones gets appreciation, Dan Brown does not. 

Episode 148 ”Landmark Television Sitcoms”

Martin cues the laugh track as the guys talk the meaning and importance of some landmark television sitcoms. 

Episode 147 ”Our Heroes: G. K. Chesterton”
