  • Between the Seas is a podcast which aims to explore the fundamental questions of human development through a chronological look at the history of Central Europe, or as we call it in the podcast, "Inner Europe".

We will learn the origins of its many rich cultures and follow them through their highs and lows. In it, we'll gain an intimate union with the histories of modern day Poland, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia, Croatia, Slovenia, Hungary, Slovakia, Czechia, Austria, Germany, Liechtenstein, and Switzerland.

    In this episode, we will refocus our scope on Inner Europe, and Carpathia in particular, as we witness the clash of worlds across the Danube. The Romans will take the south, while the Germanic tribes will take the north. With the ebb and flows of the Roman state, its only a matter of time before a major shift occurs...

  • Episode 3: The Italo-Celts
    2024/12/02

    In this episode, we narrow our focus specifically to the Italo-Celts, and their legacy on Inner Europe and the wider world. The Celts would create a decentralized system that would come to lay foundations for many Inner European identities, while Rome would lay the foundations for what was seen as civilization in Europe for millennia to come. Here, we dissect them both.

  • Episode 2: Soil, Salt, Amber
    2024/11/25

    In this episode, we rewind our story to talk about the introduction of agriculture to Inner Europe, looking at how agriculture works and how it affects societies based on their surroundings. We then combine the two stories into one, going over the melding of steppe and agrarian influences on early cultural formation in Inner Europe, looking at the convoluted processes that spring the more well known identities of antiquity.
