This month we're talking about malaria! This episode is quite similar to our early ones, in that we take a disease, talk about its pathology/ treatment, the role it has played in history, and then look toward the future. None of this politics crap we've been doing lately, just pure, unadulterated medical history. Although, we do complain about imperialism and also people being racist towards the Chinese a bit, so perhaps just a bit of politics.

This is the second part of our episode about assassinations! This episode turned out very leftism-centric, with Salem covering Trotsky and Mia going over the assassination of Kim Jong Nam. There is a healthy dose of history in this episode, not just of the assassinations themselves, but also of the important historical events leading up to the murders, so if you feel like you need a refresher on Soviet history, this episode is for you!

Most often on this podcast we talk about people's attempts to preserve and improve health and wellbeing. This month, however, we are switching gears as we embark on a two parter covering three historical figures whose powerful enemies wanted them dead. In this first part, we introduce the term ''assassin'' and discuss its etymology, and take a look at the life and death of one of Russia's most infamous monks.
