Secrets along the shores of the Thames and Mississippi

ALEX MCNEIL and RICK OSMON join us to discuss the presentations for their respective conferences.   Alex will be attending the Shakespeare Oxford Fellowship conference. Alex is a lawyer and is the editor of "The Contested Year."  We will be looking at how 1606 was an important year in Shakespeare's history, that is if you believe the Academics' timeline.  Maybe the plague that is supposedly referenced in the traditional timeline of the publications of the three plays of 1606 should be dated to the plague outbreak of 1592-3.  Such calls for the redating of the plays will be discussed at the Shakespeare Oxford Fellowship conference in Hartford, CT.  Rick will be discussing the ancient copper trade at AAPS.   Was there an unbroken water route from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico about 4000 BC?   How did so much copper get transported around the globe?  We'll also get into line of sight communication utilized across the continent and draw from Rick's wealth of knowledge of ancient america.
