Episode 29 - Music: All Chanting, All The Time

Welcome back everyone! After a long break we are here to tell you about the history of music. In this episode we explore the epic poems of Ancient Greece, the dirty lyrics of Rome, the limited selection of genres in the Medieval world, China's devotion to only playing the best music, and belly dancing! This is a fun, relatively clean episode free from too much violence and feces. Bring the kids!
