9. Tiberius, pt. 2: What Kind Of Guy Are You Are?
Part 2 of 2 in the Tiberius series.
In this one, the Left Unread Boys explore the later life and Imperial reign of Tiberius, which is told mostly through his relationships to other major players of the time, and chronicled by a bunch of guys who lived decades after he died and had no problem making up lies about him. So, in short, it's probably all FAKE NEWS, but it's FUN. Enjoy!
P.S. If you haven't already, we suggest listening to Episode 7 first, since this is part 2 of a series.

4. The Codfather
Now you listen to me, you coarse talking son of a b****. Let me lay it on the line for you and your boss, whoever he is: Carlos Rafael will never get that quota. I don't care how many scallop lobster clam bacalhau cod come out of that boat hull!
Join us as we discuss Carlos Rafael, the Codfather of New Bedford, Massachusetts, his illegal fishing empire, and his downfall at the hands of the FBI.

3. The Dark Saga of Varg Vikernes
Disaffected angry youth have always been players in history, and nowhere was this more apparent then Norway in the Early 90's when a particularly dark heavy metal subculture came to dominate the headlines with a rash of arsons, murders, jailbreaks, and just general...well, Mayhem. Evan and Cam really get to geek out about awful metal trivia in this one. Remember, just because it's recent doesn't mean it isn't history!

2. Boston Molasses Extravaganza
You've heard of drowning, you've heard of molasses, but have you ever heard of drowning in molasses? We've got you covered. This week we explore the Boston Molasses Flood of 1919, which blanketed the North End of the Massachusetts capital with a sweet, sticky wave of, you guessed it: death.

1. The Demon Core
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to handle volatile radioactive elements with your bare hands? Us too. So, we decided to kick off the show by looking into one of the most fun byproducts of the Manhattan Project: the Demon Core (also known as Rufus the Ticklish Dragon). Sometimes you just don't have the patience to wait for World War III, so you have to start throwing bricks.
