BONUS: The Fall of the Roman Empire

While still debating which year would be covered by Season Two of It Happened One Year, Sarah & Joe took a mighty swing at 476 A.D., with decidedly mixed results! Sure, the Roman Empire finally collapsed for good, but the hosts have a hard time even staying on that momentous event, getting distracted by the secular naming convention for years, the fifth century Pope Simplicius, Joe Biden's State of the Union Address, and how calendars worked before the birth of Christ. Be thankful that 476 didn't emerge as the winning subject of the new year!
