  This week: Empire Jenga on the finale of Season 1! We'll talk about some of the most important empires and cultures of the Mediterranean during the Bronze Age and then we'll crash them into a wall.

Everyone involved is happy and healthy and at least one of us has quite the appetite! Spoiler Alert: It's the baby!
