Strider Wilson hosts a podcast delving into history through the perspective of a mature erudite bro. He was one unit away from a history minor at U.C. San Diego, but he does’t let that stop him from examining what it would have been like to be a bro posted up on Bunker Hill or uncovering what the chillest aspect of surrealist art is. Buckle up because Strider will not only venture into humanity's shared past. He will venture within himself. Asking real questions such as, “exactly how tight are pirates,” or “what if he stayed that extra semester in school,” “would my life have been danker?” Strider firmly believes that history is tight because we all should for sure blaze our own trails… but in what direction?

The Tower Of London

Known as the, "unsinkable stoker," Arthur Priest who worked in the bowels of the ships engine room as a stoker survived 6 shipwrecks. Is it good or bad luck? Maybe there is a reason the saying is to get back on the horse not the boat. We hear about Priest's epic tales of survival. Also a little help, hurt bone. Some re-cast it now and a dank thank call to the Mattress Firm.

As a valet himself Strider has to honor the most legendary valet of all time, William Lee. He was the personal valet to George Washington throughout the American Revolution.
