Slinging information straight into your face today at speeds of up to 100mph (IF you're expert ancient slinger, that is).

Today's episode is in honor of the release of House of David on Amazon Prime, where slinging is going to be featured in a cinematic fashion and Madi's little happy slinging heart is SO FULL.

We will talk about the vastly underdiscussed topic of ancient slinging, and how it impacted (pun intended? Maybe? It's a loose pun, but if you dig it's there, you've gotta want it...) ancient battlefields.

We will talk about who the slingers were, the ammo they used, and end of the story of the most famous slinger in history: David.

The story of David & Goliath & Goliath's shield guy begins 1 hour in, and you KNOW Madi packed it with as much detail as possible.
