Dr. Garrett Ryan, otherwise known as “toldinstone”, runs several YouTube channels dedicated to life in the ancient world. His premier channel, toldinstone, covers life in ancient Greece & Rome, exploring what life was really like for everyone ranging from the peasantry to the aristocracy. He recently released two new channels, expanding the toldinstone universe to cover a wider range of historical topics. He has also written a fantastic book, “Naked Statues, Fat Gladiators, and War Elephants”, covering many topics related to his toldinstone channel.Â
My name is Tyler Gleckler, I am a chemist by education, and the host of the Wiser Tomorrow Podcast. I am part of a generation who grew up watching and sometimes even idolizing online figures who championed science, education, and intellectualism. From Dr. Philip Mason to Professor Richard Dawkins, my teenage years were heavily influenced by these people and their ideas, and am evidence of their impact. In my search of a happy and productive career, I’ve come to realize that my dream is to share knowledge, foster curiosity, and highlight those who lead by example.
