    AD King, revisited* Fighting for civil rights alongside MLK, A.D. was a fearless activist, pastor, and leader in his own right—marching, organizing, and facing the same dangers as MLK. From surviving a bombing to mysteriously drowning under suspicious circumstances, A.D.'s story is one of courage, tragedy, and the hidden costs of the Civil Rights Movement. In this episode, we uncover the overlooked legacy of A.D. King, his role in the fight for justice, and why history seems to have forgotten him. Buckle up—this is a story you won't hear in school. *The original episode from years ago is on the patreon. It's wilder, filled with conflict, and probably too many MLK impressions.  Instagram: @overshadowed_podcast @charles_engle @zachrussellcomedy   Check out the Patreon for bonus content, standup comedy sets, and more.    https://www.patreon.com/overshadowedpodcast   Check out other places to listen here: https://linktr.ee/overshadowed_podcast   Recorded Feb 2025    Produced by Zach Russell Intro/Outro music by Mokka!

    Grab a hat full of sour horse milk and hunker down with yur(t) boys this week as we cover the doomed bromance between Genghis Khan [aka "Temugin"] and his blood-brother-turned-rival, Jamukha. Both imprisoned by Merkits as kids, Temugin and Jamukha make it official with a blood oath, and when Temugin's bride gets stolen by another band of those pesky Merkits, Jamukha rallys an army to get her back. Exciting stuff, hmm? I wanted to write more, but at this point you should just listen. Featuring: yurts, mispronunciations, bridal warfare, empire as a byproduct of raid-culture, horses as vehicles, horses as tanks, shamans, horses as kegs, sustainable indoor heating, and the big reset. I'd like to extend a public thank you to Charles for all he's suffered for the pod, little bitch.  Patreon has bonus shizz from this ep (it will, updated: 2/20/24). Check out the Patreon:

    We're back with our coldest episode yet, covering North America's most overshadowed gold rush - the Yukon/Klondike - that spanned 1896-1899 and yielded MORE GOLD than the California gold rush, which lasted twice as long. Featuring: outdoorsy gambling addicts, deadbeat dads, lady-yeast, the boom town of Dawson, a scamming willy wonka type, and what we think is too many dead horses.   The Klondike Stampede saw 100,000 inexperienced hopefuls journeying West in search of cold gold, but only 30,000 made it to the gold fields, and only a few dozen actually made it out with a meaningful haul.  (Song for reference) "Everybody works but father" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uT9HcyI2pOo Check out other places to listen here: https://linktr.ee/overshadowed_podcast Suggestions for a sibling or spouse we should cover?

    This week, we're covering Lyndon B. Johnson's wife, "Lady Bird" Johnson, an incredibly intelligent and successful woman in her own right. Not only was she the *first* President's wife to earn well over $1,000,000 before becoming First Lady, she also prevented our nation's highways from growing littered with billboards & rubble, and inspired Lyndon's presidential career. Without her, he might never have run in the first place.   We split this into a two-parter to make 2 hours of history a bit less daunting :). Part 1 includes Lady Bird's early life, LBJ's (crazy) courtship, and the JFK assassination. Part 2 covers campaigning for elected office, the fight for civil rights, a gay White House scandal, how Lady Bird dealt with her husband's rampant fillandering, and more. Featuring: proposing on the first date, "vice" presidents, a remarkable impression of Obama, Matt Rife, overly-hyped phalluses, and more.   Suggestions for a sibling or spouse we should cover?
