Show overview
Mindless Sea launched in 2024 and has put out 6 episodes in the time since. That works out to roughly 2 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a roughly quarterly cadence.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 21 min and 27 min — and the run-time is fairly consistent across the catalogue. It is catalogued as a EN-US-language History show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 1.1 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. Published by Jesse Fries.
From the publisher
People use history to justify their policies and their actions, but when doing so history is invoked incorrectly. There are many lessons to be learned from history, but the real lessons are general in nature. Be ready to cringe, laugh at, and shake your head at this first attempt at podcasting where a skeptic takes on history, politics, and human discovery, which are enduringly knotted together. The host, Jesse Fries, was an adjunct instructor in World History, a stay at home dad, worked his way through school, and has followed politics and international relations for much of his life.
