This podcast returns on July 12th 2026. A 19th century decision involving 24 rabbits reshaped an entire continent. The inventor of an explosive became synonymous with peace. A president's speech turned a game into a metaphor for consequence. 

Alongside these histories, this episode traces the origins of words such as sequela, corollary, irruption, repercussion and domino.
