This week join the HAG team and their very special guest, University of Pittsburgh historian and Pernille Røge, as we take a look at what was cookin’ in empire’s crazy kitchen known as the Early Modern era.This history moves in mysterious ways, but it’s all right, because the saucy boys offer a polyrhythmic take on modernity, and ask the question: can you really fix a system that never worked in the first place?

This week's music: Built to Spill, "You We're Right"; Oceanator, "A Crack in the World"
