Hello - New here

Hello (I've said that twice now), my name is Daniel. This is my first time on a forum, apart from occasionally reading discussions without creating an account. I thought I'd start so I could meet others who share my interests, since I've never really met anyone who has in person. I remember distincly that no one in my class liked dinosaurs apart from me when I was at primary - absurd!

Anyway, as it says in my description, I'm very into history, with more of an inclination to the cultural side of it (art, music, fashion literature of the time). Ocassionally I will dismiss that, as I have with my obsession with polar exploration (mainly the 19th-20th century expeditions). Pemmican and driving sleds aren't exactly the finer things in life, but there's beauty in places. I'll stop rambling now, I'm excited about being on here  :-)

  • Hello and welcome!

    I am not into history at all, but I found a nice podcast (in German though) which is about historic events, always told with a real fun or unexpected story. Do you know about the 1925 Epidemic in Nome, Alaska? It's a really cool story including sleds!

    Never heard of pemmikan, but I see there is another episode on that as well, referenced in the episode about Nome (had to check for the year of that epidemic). So I guess I know what I will listen to now!
