E227 Years War, World War Zero - Origins (SciCast #646)Did you think the First World War was the first global conflict? You thought wrong, freund! The Seven Years' War (1756-1763) is considered by many authors to be the first global war, as it involved European powers with vast colonial areas. Motivated by disputes over territory and, above all, economic interests, the breadth and geographical discontinuity of the conflict led to the existence of a multiplicity of operational spaces with their own characteristics. Put on your boots, comply with His Highness's request and embark on the conflict that reshaped the world at the end of the 18th century.

E26History of Theater (SciCast #650)The phrase is by the poet Ferreira Gullar, adapted from Fernando Pessoa. But what we really know is that humanity has had this feeling since... "always". We can almost certainly say that its origins go back to our origins (as primitive human beings), when, gathered together and illuminated by fire, gesticulating, we performed rituals (customary or ceremonial) linked to everyday life (birth, death, hunting...). Theater reflects the social experiences and ways of thinking of human beings over time, so we see different ways of doing theater in different historical periods and in different parts of the planet. For this cast, given the complexity and variety of theater-making around the world, we will focus on a European vision of theater.

E34Piracy in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans (SciCast #658)We delve into the fascinating history of piracy and maritime predation between the 16th and 19th centuries, exploring the differences between the Atlantic and Indian Oceans! In this SciCast, we unravel what defines piracy, go through the figures who shaped colonial trade, challenged empires and served as material for stories, myths and legends. In the Atlantic, the Golden Age of piracy, marked by names like Blackbeard and Anne Bonny, was driven by the lucrative sugar market and the slave trade. In the Indian Ocean, sea lords like Ching Shih and the Marakkars dominated trade routes with unique strategies, taking advantage of the monsoons. From the origin of the Jolly Roger to the roots of piracy in ancient thalassocracies, discover how these rebels of the seas connected continents and inspire pop culture to this day, from Jack Sparrow to One Piece.

E49The Conquest of Constantinople (SciCast #673)We revisit May 29, 1453, beyond the cliché of a “fall,” explaining why many historians prefer the term "Conquest of Constantinople" and how this choice reshapes the historical narrative. We move from mythical Byzantium to Constantine’s Constantinople, the Second Rome, defined by its Theodosian Walls, the Hagia Sophia, and its powerful symbolism as the last bastion of Orthodox Christianity and a coveted city in the Islamic world. We examine the long Byzantine decline—marked by crises, territorial losses, and the Fourth Crusade—contrasted with the Ottoman rise, driven by Janissary discipline, the use of gunpowder, and Mehmed II’s ambition. In the 1453 siege, we highlight the cannons, the ships hauled over land, the defense led by Giovanni Giustiniani, and the death of Constantine XI, as well as the legacies for Istanbul, trade, the Renaissance, and historical memory. Recording Team: Gustavo Rebello, Luis Filipe Herdy, Maria Oliveira, Marcelo de Matos, Matheus Silveira. - Beak Pool: Middle Ages (SciCast #674)

E51Mega da Virada: mathematics, chance, and luck (SciCast #675)We use Mega-Sena as a guiding thread to explain the concepts of arrangement, combination, and probability. We talk about why the order of numbers sometimes matters (and sometimes doesn't), how many combinations actually exist in the game, and how bets with 7, 8, or 9 numbers work in practice. We also discuss something that almost no one talks about: game overlap — when several bets seem different, but in fact repeat the same sets and waste probability. An episode for those who like math, curiosity, games of chance, or simply want to better understand how chance works. Recording Team: André Trapani, Fernando Malta, Glaucia S. Silva, Roberto Spinelli.
