Content warning: episode contains descriptions of violence and lynching. amidst the recent violence against the Asian community within the US, I thought it would be important to do an episode looking at part of the history surrounding American violence against Asian-Americans. This is a summary of the 1871 Chinese Massacre.
Did the actor of Antigonus in Shakespeare's play "A Winter's Tale" actually get chased off stage by a bear? idk maybe find out in this episode!

Happy pride month! Keep fighting for our rights, & enjoy a small episode on the Stonewall riots (to be honest I don't remember learning about them in APUSH)
The world is on fire right now so why not talk about another time where something very similar happened. Maybe understanding the 1918 pandemic can help up understand this one a little more
Happy black history month, In honor, I wanted to do a slightly longer episode dedicated to one of the most important "revolutions" in US history, the Harlem Renaissance. If anything, listen because I put some music in
Does this count as history? I'm not sure! But it's fun to learn about and an interesting story so enjoy a (moderate/bad) retelling of The Ramayana, an epic poem on Ancient India
A quick overview of B.R. Ambedkar, a really neat Indian social reformer who helped an entire caste gain rights. I'm not sure how well known he is, so I felt like doing an episode is important
Operation Menu, or the Menu Bombings, was a series of covert bombing raids over Cambodia. I also manage to talk mostly about everything else except the bombings, including the Tet Offensive and a few other wars. Although not the happiest episode, I hope you enjoy
The first mini-episode! Listen for just a quick overview of the Goddess Lakshmi, a Hindu goddess of wealth and prosperity
A (semi-detailed, hopefully accurate) summary of Henry VII, the first Tudor Monarch
