The quarantine continues, so let's do another minisode! No family tree comes without its skeletons in the closet and today we're sharing stories of our own - the odd, the insane, or just downright trash.
Join Alyson, Alyssa, Alli on a journey to the New World! Learn all the ways it sucked and how one man endeavored to not suck while so many around him continued to suck really bad.
It's minisode time, folks! We are taking a break from discussing history's blunders to share some personal anecdotes about why we love history, what got us here, and maybe even...which dead dudes are the hottest?
In a special quarantine edition of the podcast, Alyson, Alyssa, and Alli cover the pandemic past of the Spanish flu, tuberculosis, the Black Death, and vampires? Yes, vampires. Author sources on the Black Death: Giovanni Boccaccio, Christian W. McMillen, Paul Slack, and Dorsey Armstrong
If you've ever dreamed of living in the wild, untamed American Old West, get ready to have all your romantic notions dashed as Alyson and Alli take on cowboy times. From the Massacre at Wounded Knee to sex in the old west, life on the range was not as ideal as writers, storytellers, and singers have often led us to believe. Join us as we discuss the westward expansion, horrifying hygiene, scalping, old-timey birth control, brothels, the massacre of indigenous people, 19th century homosexuality, and so much more.
Join Alyson, Alli, and Alyssa as they delve into the 1960s from the American perspective, both for good and definitely bad. On this episode they cover everything from the Vietnam War, Charles Manson, hippies, Woodstock, western colonialism, cults, the Altamont Free Concert disaster, murder, mayhem, and more.
