With the help of the first-ever guest on The Alexander society, we explore her youth in bondage, her career as a conductor on the Underground Railroad, her foray into spycraft and military command during the Civil War, and the philanthropy and activism of her life after abolition.
This week's rules are:
Any time white people are on some white people's shit – We take a sipAny time Christians actually do something good – We take 3 sipsAny time today’s subject does something badass - We take a shot

Come celebrate one year of The Alexander Society with us, and listen to Tim and Derek lose our minds at the absolute nonsense that is the story of the First Crusade. Threads of history meet and combine, from the church movement to centralize the power of the Papacy to the political disunity of the Muslim Near East to the senselessly violent boredom plaguing knights in western Europe, to create the perfect storm for the Medieval Christian world to launch their armed pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Along the way we meet some colorful characters: the seemingly noble Godfrey of Bouillon, the calculating and ruthless Bohemond of Taranto, the competent but unlucky Turk General Kerbogha, and of course the elusive priest and failed general Peter the Hermit.
Rules:1. Every time somebody does something cynical for personal ambition, We take a sip2. Every time Peter the Hermit pops up, We take 3 sips3. Every time Crusaders massacre a group of people who are not Muslim, We take a shot

Our 21st episode has landed just in time for 25th of January National Opposite day!
In today's freaky roles reversed opposite day episode Tim tells us the muddy story of The Blood Countess Elizabeth Bathory while Derek scolds and corrects Tim's poor ability to research the blood Countess. Elisabeth Bathory is a name that many know due to her title as the first female serial killer. But in today's episode we find out that as with many things in history it is not as cut and dry as we would like it to be.
This weeks Rules
Derek has to correct Tim or Derek provides more historical context, we take a sip
Every time a servant is Tortured, we take 3 sips
Every time Probably didn't happen, we take a shot
