Suggestion Survey is Open through 10/31! (Patreon)

Our theme for the month of October is That Old Time Religion

This time, we're focusing on matters spiritual—from the spread of Buddhism along the silk road, to the Proteastant Reformation, to the seance-tables of Spiritualism.

Want to hear about the Jewish pirates of the Caribbean, who exacted vengeance on the Spanish in the wake of their displacement by the Inquisition? What about the bizarre tale of China's Taiping Rebellion, where a self-proclaimed "brother of Jesus" established an autonomous state that nearly toppled the Qing Dynasty? How about the dark history of European witch hunts or Russian Orthodox schism, that created the New Rite, and made the Old Believers a persecuted minority?

Or something else you always wanted to know! Provided there's a religious component to the topic, it's open season.

Some notes about suggestions:

• Only one suggestion per person please! Multiple suggestions from the same person during any given survey period will be manually removed.
• If a suggestion we encounter only has enough research material/production scope for a one-off episode instead of a full series, we file it in a separate list to reference later when we are planning to schedule a one-off episode between series (this is true for every survey we do).
• Anything that happened or started before 1929 is fair game to suggest. We typically don't cover more recent events, unless we're working with sponsors who can provide more documentation about that historical topic.
