General Bibliography

This page provides a consolidated listed of the significant sources I've used in the podcast. Sometimes I might just find a bit of information on the web, which fills in a detail or two, or maybe just jog my memory. I generally don't include these in my listing of sources, epsecially if they are non-controversial. I do, however, try to include the sources that I deem to be more significant. I also include those sources I think listeners would be interested in reading.

Sources are organized by episode. If no sources were used for an episode, that's noted. There is also a section for generalized sources not tied to an episode. These are often background research sources, which might find their way into future episodes.
