The Jeremy Ryan Slate Show
Jeremy Ryan Slate
The Jeremy Ryan Slate Show is a bi-weekly investigation into how power really works—across history, empires, and the modern world.Each episode draws on two core lenses:Hidden forces behind history—royal murders, lost colonies, financial systems, modern elites, NGOs, propaganda, and the quiet mechanisms that shape events long before they reach the headlines.And the Roman pattern—the idea that today’s crises aren’t new. Currency collapse, political division, border chaos, military overreach—Rome faced them all first. The Roman Empire spent centuries making every mistake a civilization can make, and left behind a playbook we’re following again, page by page.Through expert conversations with historians, researchers, and serious thinkers—and deep dives into primary sources, documents, and records—this show connects ancient history to modern power with evidence, not opinion.You’ll learn to: • Recognize collapse signals before they’re obvious • Understand modern crises through ancient parallels • See how empires actually rise, decay, and fall • Spot the patterns shaping what comes nextFrom medieval conspiracies to modern cover-ups, from Augustus to Constantine, from ancient Rome to today’s global order—this is history as investigation.No spin. No narratives. Just receipts.New episodes twice a week.

Roger Wakefield | YouTube's Most Famous Plumber on Why We Need the Trades
About This Episode: Roger isn't just Richardson, Texas' favorite plumber, he's America’s favorite plumber! That “looks great and smells good!” line was taken from the winning video of American Standard’s 2016 'Plumber Know How' contest where Roger was chosen as their 'The Next Expert Plumber'. Roger is a Texas Master Plumber and an entertaining video creator on YouTube and LinkedIn. He also teaches plumbing and is passionate about green-building and water conservation. Currently, Roger owns and operates Texas Green Plumbing, LLC in Richardson and Plano, Texas. When he opened the plumbing company in 2015, he realized one of the biggest challenges for a new company is making the phone ring. He tried working with several different marketing companies and became frustrated with the expensive programs each one offered, and most of those programs didn’t produce the results they promised. So, in 2018 Roger began to learn about Social Media as an inexpensive way to generate calls for Texas Green Plumbing. It worked! Today, Roger travels around the country to speak about Networking, Social Media, Video, SEO, Coaching, and Business.

Sahaj Sharda | Elite College's Collusion, Decadence, Privileges and Power
About This Episode: In his newest book, 'The College Cartel', Sahaj Sharda is starting an essential debate about the monopolistic greed of the Ivy League colleges and other elite schools. In recent years, elite colleges have been sued for price-fixing, sued for discrimination in admissions, and scandalized by Varsity Blues. Sahaj's book is both an exploration of these scandals and an analysis of the underlying force creating them: an artificial scarcity of elite seats. A graduate of Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, America's top-ranked high school, Sahaj noticed early on that plenty of intelligent students who can obviously handle the rigor at elite colleges are rejected every year. Having been an undergraduate student at Georgetown when the Varsity Blues scandal broke out, Sahaj further witnessed a fellow classmate's parents sentenced to jail. Seeing these things, Sahaj was forced to question why. 'Why don't elite colleges want more students?' 'Why do elite colleges refuse customers?' As Sahaj explains in his book, the answer lies in an elite college seat cartel which has been successful at restricting enrollment across America's top colleges. Against students, this college cartel has falsely increased prices through scarcity and also outright price-fixing. Sahaj is attending Columbia Law School's, where he will focus on antitrust laws so that he can fight the economically abusive use of monopoly power by big companies in higher education and beyond.
