155. What have shipworms done for me lately? Or Uncharisma and The Politics of Attention with Historians, Harry Croft and Kate Stevens (Fall Special part 1)

Fall Special! Part 1: Uncharismatic Species The overlooked, forgotten, and culturally dismissed animals, plants, and microbes that have shaped human history in ways we rarely notice. We explore how charisma (or its absence) is culturally constructed. The species we ignore are often the most historically consequential — and that our blind spots put them at risk of disappearing without ever being noticed.
