Brisbane comes up in 2 chapters across 2 episodes of The Higherside Chats Free Show, from August 2018 to February 2024.
Higher Side Meetups and Show Wrap-up
Greg Carlwood lists upcoming listener meetups in Cincinnati, Brisbane, Eugene, and Denver. He encourages the audience to visit highersidemeetups.com to coordinate with like-minded locals. The episode concludes with a summary of the "hyper object" themes and a closing musical track.
Internet Archive and Digital Research Methodology
John Le Bon discusses how the Internet Archive and digital PDFs have revolutionized historical research, allowing him to trace sources from his home in Brisbane. He claims that by using these tools, he discovered that many "foundational" historians like Herodotus have no verifiable primary sources. He suggests that this level of scrutiny was impossible before the late 1990s.
