À propos de ce contenu audio

 A podcast that aims to go back in time to trace an event or instance to its beginning through several threads of continuity across time, space, culture, people, and historic moments. We will cover the length and breadth of human history and prehistory, depending on the topic. Some of these threads might have tenuous connections with one another, but all are threads of the tapestry of history!

That shared experience compelled sworn enemies to see each other as humans again, and gathered in No Man's Land to exchange greetings, have solemn ceremonies, and play football.
