Added 2025-06-06 09:00:08 +0000 UTCpatrons, here is you ad-free episode of the week, we answered questions from gafsey and a weeb in sweden is an ikeaboo.
folks, we're gathered here today to pay respects to Al-Andalus. All good things must come to an end and this is no different. so we trace how it all came apart for Muslim Iberia as the disunified, quarreling Christian states of Iberia began working together and the Christian reconquest effort became a reality. but there's also some rays of sunshine here as we get to talk about the staying power of the Emirate of Granada, Alhambra, the lasting legacy of Al-Andalus, and much more.
