The Mongols and the Fall of the Crusaders
3/13/20261 hr 36 min
In the mid‑13th century, the Mongols seemed unstoppable until a former slave‑soldier stood in their way. Mamluk Sultan Qutuz of Egypt defied an empire that had crushed Baghdad and Syria, and began the beginning of the end of the Crusader States.
Matt Lewis and Nicholas Morton uncover how Mongol conquests shattered the Crusader world, set Louis IX’s doomed crusade in motion, and paved the way for the Mamluks to end the era of the Crusader states forever.

And we are currently deep-diving Brandon Sanderson's fantasy epic, Mistborn. But here's the catch: Steven here has not read Mistborn before.

That's right, Hay-Hay. So each week, you'll get my unfiltered, raw reactions to every single chapter.
Hayden1:08
And along the way, we'll do character deep dives, magic explainers, and Steven will even try to guess what's next. Spoiler alert, he'll be wrong.
