  • Jack Johnson: The Galveston Giant
    In today's episode Mike Primavera talk about legendary boxer Jack Johnson. In the early 1900s, Jack Johnson became the first Black heavyweight boxing champion of the world—then spent the next decade daring America to do something about it. He fought with style, laughed in the ring, knocked out legends, and lived large in gold suits and bright yellow hot rods. While the press raged, the cops threatened, and politicians tried to shut him down, Johnson just kept winning. He taunted the so-called “Great White Hope” into the ring on the Fourth of July, then beat him so badly the crowd went silent. This is the story of the most dangerous thing you could be in Jim Crow America: free, Black, and unapologetically unbeatable.

  • Rome VS The Etruscans Part 1: Before the Republic, There Was Blood
    Rome is cornered. The monarchy has fallen, the Republic is barely standing, and an Etruscan warlord is marching toward the gates with an army at his back and a puppet king in his pocket. The Romans are outnumbered, outmatched, and running out of time. So they do what Romans do best: they get dangerous. In this episode, Ben and Pat tell the stories of Rome and two unlikely heroes step into history. One makes a last stand on a crumbling wooden bridge. The other slips behind enemy lines with a blade, a disguise, and a plan that does not go as expected. What they do won’t just save the city, it’ll define it.

  • Abd al-Rahman: Prince of Blood, Lord of the South
    Abd al-Rahman was supposed to die with the rest of his family. When the Abbasid Caliphate overthrew the Umayyads in a brutal coup, they made sure to slaughter every last male heir—except one. Abd al-Rahman, barely twenty, escaped across the Middle East and North Africa with assassins hot on his trail. He swam rivers, crossed deserts, and vanished into legend. And just when the world thought his dynasty was gone, he returned—on horseback, sword in hand, to conquer a new kingdom at the edge of the known world. In tody's episode Ben and Pat tell the true story of the prince who fled a massacre and became a king. Of the founder of Muslim Spain. Of a man who turned exile into empire—and earned his name as The Falcon of Al-Andalus.

Acerca de Badass of the Week

Throughout the course of human civilization certain individuals have stood out as being completely f***ing awesome. From ninjas and gunfighters to pirates and Vikings, to explorers, scientists and great leaders, these people - true badasses - completely obliterated anything that stood in their path, routinely overcame seemingly insurmountable obstacles, and ultimately altered the course of history through their actions. Be it glory, conquest, or survival, these hardcore men and women all had one specific goal in life - and they didn’t let anything stand between themselves and their mission. They refused to back down even when the odds seemed hopelessly stacked against them, they came back from the brink of failure to achieve ultimate success, and they beat the fucking hell out of anyone stupid enough to have stood in their way. Badass of the Week is a weekly (duh) podcast, that dives into new stories of badasses every week.
