  • #206 Genghis Khan - Beginnings (Part 2)
    Nov 3 2026

    This is Part 2! For Part 1, check the feed!


    It’s time for us to embark on another mini-series and this time, it’s a man with one of the most incredible stories in human history. Savage, barbarian tyrant? Or quite progressive in barbaric times? We’ll do our best to figure it out: welcome to the story of Genghis Khan!


    In this episode we’ll meet the parents and get the origin story. We’ll progress through his childhood and his inauspicious military start, before finally looking at our sources for how we know all this in the first place!


    Elsewhere, who domesticated dogs in the first place? And why weren’t foxes given the shot? If you want to email us at any point, you can do that right here: hello@ohwhatatime.com
