Current Events

Prologued Podcast:

Prologued is a serial-style history podcast, created by Origins: Current Events in Historical Perspective, that offers in-depth discussions of the historical roots of the world today—a past that has often been lost, ignored, or misconstrued.

Season 2 examines The Global War on Drugs and asks: When and where did the War on Drugs really begin? Join us as we explore how a century of drug wars fought around the world informs today's conversations about marijuana use, abuse, and legalization.
