Podcasts about American Heritage

Cracker Barrel just released its new logo which is plain, sterile, and totally stripped of its heritage. They even removed the old man, erasing the story and charm that once gave the brand its soul. In this episode, we talk about how this isn't just about a restaurant chain, it's about the cultural war between beauty and ugliness, truth and lies, order and chaos.God is a God of beauty, truth, and order. Satan thrives in ugliness, lies, and chaos. What we're seeing in design, culture, and politics today is a Marxist-driven push toward minimalism, modernism, and brutalism—an aesthetic that reflects their worldview. But we don't have to accept this. We can choose a God-honoring path that preserves heritage, values beauty, and treats America as a homeland to be protected, not a business venture to exploit others (even its own people) for monetary advantage.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

WILL STARMER AND REEVES SELL THE FALKLANDS TO ANSWER THE BUDGET HOLES?  1/4: Left for Dead: Shipwreck, Treachery, and Survival at the Edge of the World  by  Eric Jay Dolin  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Left-Dead-Shipwreck-Treachery-Survival/dp/1324093080 In Left for Dead, Eric Jay Dolin―“one of today's finest writers about ships and the sea” (American Heritage)―tells the true story of a wild and fateful encounter between an American sealing vessel, a shipwrecked British brig, and a British warship in the Falkland archipelago during the War of 1812. Fraught with misunderstandings and mistrust, the incident left three British sailors and two Americans, including the captain of the sealer, Charles H. Barnard, abandoned in the barren, windswept, and inhospitable Falklands for a year and a half. With deft narrative skill and unequaled knowledge of the very pith of the seafaring life, Dolin describes in vivid and harrowing detail the increasingly desperate existence of the castaways during their eighteen-month ordeal―an all-too-common fate in the Great Age of Sail. 1914

Before the ballpoint pen, people used their hands, reeds, bamboo, brushes, quills, and eventually nibs to write or draw. But how did things evolve from there to get to things like the fountain pen, and eventually, a ballpoint? Research: "pen."

On today's Take 2 with Jerry & Debbie we welcome a special guest, author Bill Federer, to discuss our American heritage.

In this special Fourth of July episode, we're talking about The Big Beautiful Bill—yes, it passed, and yes, it's time to get on board. While I normally support smaller, single-issue legislation (so we can actually see what's in these bills), there's still a lot to be excited about here. From major investments in border security to a strong push toward deporting illegal immigrants, this bill takes some long-overdue steps in the right direction.Sure, there are parts that could've been better—and no surprise, Elon Musk isn't thrilled because it didn't personally benefit him as much as he hoped—but overall, I agree with the majority of what's in it.Tune in as we break down the good and the bad inside The Big Beautiful Bill—and what it means for the future of our country.Happy Fourth of July, and let's keep America strong.

Jack Kelly joins Alan on this episode of AMSEcast to talk about his book Gunpowder: Alchemy, Bombards, and Pyrotechnics. They discuss gunpowder's accidental invention in 10th-century China and its explosive mix of saltpeter, charcoal, and sulfur. Kelly explains how gunpowder shaped science and warfare, fueling revolutions in physics, ending the era of castles, and powering colonial empires. Though once too expensive for civilian use, gunpowder later drove mining and infrastructure projects before being replaced by safer, more powerful explosives like dynamite. Kelly also previews his upcoming book on Thomas Paine, highlighting Paine's role as both Enlightenment thinker and Revolutionary soldier.   Guest Bio Jack Kelly is an award-winning historian, journalist, and novelist, as well as a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellow. His work has appeared in publications like The Wall Street Journal and American Heritage, and he's been featured on NPR, PBS, and the History Channel. Jack's books explore pivotal moments in history with vivid storytelling and sharp insight. His titles include Heaven's Ditch: God, Gold, and Murder on the Erie Canal and God Save Benedict Arnold: The True Story of America's Most Hated Man. His upcoming book is Gunpowder: Alchemy, Bombards, and Pyrotechnics, an explosive history of invention and empire.   Show Highlights (1:24) When the Chinese invented gunpowder and when it arrived in Europe (2:35) The ingredients of gunpowder (3:54) Why saltpeter is such a challenging ingredient to produce (5:43) Challenges faced by European engineers in the production of gunpowder (8:34) What the development of chemistry revealed about how gunpowder works (10:46) How gunpowder influenced sciences like physics in Europe (12:51) When guns and cannons were introduced (14:12) Gunpowder's impact on European architecture, such as castles (16:39) The commercial uses of gunpowder (20:12) Replacements for gunpowder in weapons and other explosives today (22:51) Modern uses for black powder (24:26) What Jack Kelly is currently working on   Links Referenced Heaven's Ditch: God, Gold, and Murder on the Erie Canal: https://www.amazon.com/Heavens-Ditch-Jack-Kelly-audiobook/dp/B01HU77DIC/ God Save Benedict Arnold: The True Story of America's Most Hated Man:  https://www.amazon.com/God-Save-Benedict-Arnold-Americas-ebook/dp/B0BQGFMLFK/ Gunpowder: Alchemy, Bombards, and Pyrotechnics: The History of the Explosive that Changed the World:  https://www.amazon.com/Gunpowder-Alchemy-Bombards-Pyrotechnics-Explosive-ebook/dp/B009IU57IS/

What happens when a culture forgets its roots? Are we raising kids who understand sacrifice, freedom, and the values that built a nation? Or are we letting those truths slip away with every swipe and scroll?In this powerful and passionate episode, Jill Simonian, Director of Outreach for PragerU Kids, joins Matt Beaudreau to tackle some of the most urgent challenges in education, parenting, and American identity. With a background in broadcasting and a heart for kids, Jill brings a unique fire to her mission: reviving tradition, truth, and patriotism through family-centered education.Jill isn't just building content—she's building a movement. From launching an interactive Founders Museum at the White House to crafting the Independence Day Ceremony book that blends history with heartfelt ritual, she's redefining how families connect to America's legacy.But it's not just about the stars and stripes. Jill gets raw about raising teenagers in a hyper-digital world, shares her household's bold boundaries on tech, and unpacks why standards—like school uniforms and reading comprehension—aren't “old-fashioned,” they're essential.Quotes:"A nation without memory is a nation at risk. If we don't teach our children what was sacrificed, what the Declaration of Independence actually meant, then how are they going to know how important it is to preserve it and honor it?" - Jill Simonian"Time is our greatest resource. The United States flag is perhaps the most inclusive one in the world, because it represents every single ethnicity, every single heritage, every single sexual orientation." - Jill Simonian"If you stand for something, you're going to have somebody who opposes you." - Matt BeaudreauKey Takeaways:Tradition matters: Learn how the Independence Day Ceremony revives patriotism in the home with a powerful blend of symbolism and storytelling.Why standards save kids: From uniforms to screen time, discover how enforcing structure builds confidence and self-respect.Reading is a battleground: Jill explains why literacy—not tablets—is the real tool for future success.Screens vs. sanity: Hear her strategy for slowly introducing tech to teens without losing connection—or your mind.Pushback and purpose: Find out how Jill handles criticism about being “non-inclusive” with grace, strength, and an unshakable belief in unifying principles.Conclusion:As we close this episode, one thing is clear: Jill Simonian isn't just teaching history—she's helping families reconnect with what matters. In a divided world, she reminds us that tradition, standards, and love for country still hold us together.Whether you're a parent, educator, or mentor, this is your reminder: you don't have to do everything—but you do have to do something. Even small traditions can leave a lasting legacy.Call to Action:Want to bring more meaning into your family's traditions?

In this episode of Uncommon Sense, we're talking about Tucker Carlson's highly discussed interview with Senator Ted Cruz. I'll be sharing my honest thoughts on how it went, why I think Tucker came out ahead, and what this kind of bold, unscripted, and unapologetically frank conversation means for the future of political discourse (spoiler: I'm all for it).We'll go into why I support constructive confrontation—yes, even when it gets "mean" and uncomfortable. The Founding Fathers didn't tiptoe around the truth, so why should we? They debated passionately because the stakes were high. The polite punditry act is wearing thin, and people are tired of political puppets mouthing safe lines. They're craving what we saw here: real conviction, real disagreement, and real questions.We'll cover why I believe Tucker won this exchange: from his biblical literacy to his serious concerns about foreign lobbying groups like AIPAC having a hand in U.S. policy. Ted got visibly nervous when pressed about Scripture, about Israel, and about U.S. involvement in a possible war with Iran. And the question still lingers: Why are we only now suddenly being pushed to act, when Trump was reportedly targeted by Iran two years ago?Most importantly, we'll reflect on Tucker's question—a theological one with deep political ramifications: Who is the real Israel according to God? Is it the modern state that does not believe Jesus is Lord and historically has required a denial of Christ for Jewish returnees? Or is it the true church—those who belong to Christ?I'll share my belief unapologetically: Israel is the body of believers in Jesus Christ. Not those who reject Him. Not those who crucified Him. That's a hard truth, but a necessary one in these last days when clarity very much matters.Faith shouldn't be a popularity contest.--https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOorwAVEYslTlOGA-36_bHHjruNDOebEKWQ6M2115NZZwL8WG_ali

In this week's edition of Y's Guys, we dive into the latest developments across BYU sports, kicking off with a spotlight on five-star QB recruit Ryder Lyons, who made his official visit to BYU this weekend after a stop at Oregon. The panel discusses the implications of his looming decision, and what it could mean for the quarterback depth chart.
