In this episode, Sam is joined by friend of the pod Anika Jade Levy, author of Flat Earth and founding editor of Forever Magazine, for a sprawling investigation into the paranoid spirit of the United States of America. Beginning with the America's founding fantasy of paradise, Anika and Sam trace how the country's utopian dream soured into a national aesthetic of suspicion: from Puritan invisible enemies and the feminized conspiracy of the Salem Witch Trials, to the pastoral terror of data centers humming in the American wilderness, to cyberpunk stealthwear, urban camouflage, hollow earths, Atlantis, visions of a lost world, and much, much more. Drawing from Leo Marx, Richard Hofstadter, Adam Curtis, Cotton Mather, Anette Kolodny, Silvia Federici, and Anika's own novel, the girls move through history, politics, media, and fashion to uncover what conspiracy reveals about American self-invention.

What if the home you lived in was a secret portal to 250 years of American history, connected to the Revolutionary War, the Kennedy assassination, and the Apollo 11 moon launch? For David Deputy, a retired brigadier general, historian, and former state trooper, that's exactly what he discovered when he moved into a 19th-century mill house in Delaware. In this episode of Productivity Smarts, host Gerald J. Leonard sits down with David Deputy, author of The Spring Grove Mill House, to explore how an eight-year investigative journey into the history of his home uncovered astonishing links to America's most defining moments. David shares how his childhood instincts, career as a major crimes detective, and intuitive leadership style all converged into a unique research process he calls "investigative history." Gerald and David dig into the neuroscience of gut instinct and intuition, what it means to be a quiet, observational leader, the discipline of working a 250-year-old cold case, and how patience and organization are the hidden engines of any long-term creative project. David also reveals why he structured his book to make readers flip to the last chapter first, a bold and brilliant storytelling device that puts the reader on a personal journey before the history even begins. Whether you're a history buff, a writer, a researcher, or simply someone curious about the story hidden beneath your feet, this episode will inspire you to start asking the questions beneath the questions. Ready to dig deeper?

The problem never happens because you were able to lead the group through it before it materialized." – David Deputy [15:11] "I could feel the stuff, and then I started digging and digging. It was eight years of investigating, because new things just kept popping up." – David Deputy [15:50] "To me, it was like a 250-year-old cold case. And this was the ultimate cold case." – David Deputy [17:22] "I have layer switches. I can turn my ego switch off and analyze everything. I have a logic switch and a skeptic switch — I can run through what I'm thinking and come to conclusions." – David Deputy [21:30] "Unfortunately, it took me 45 years to get to that point. I wish I'd figured it out in my 20s — but once you understand how your gut is tied to your heart and your brain, you can use it even better." – David Deputy [23:18] "It's human nature — we see things that are strange, but when we see them every day, they're not strange anymore. We stop asking why." – David Deputy [25:46] "I call it the Jimi Hendrix approach. He wasn't formally trained — he created a whole new way of doing it that was unique and ended up being very special." – David Deputy [30:48] "You can't rush it. You have to be organized in what you're doing so that you don't get stagnant. It wouldn't have been nearly as special if I had tried to rush through it." – David Deputy Resource and Links David Deputy LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-deputy-7a560952 Book: The Spring Grove Mill House   Productivity Smarts Podcast Website - productivitysmartspodcast.com   Gerald J.

What are the some of the most culturally significant pieces of comedy in American history? A Marx Brothers film? A Carol Burnett sketch? An infamous puffy shirt? The initial question inspires further questions: what qualifies as an important reflection of our society; how well known does the material need to be; does staying power matter? From vaudeville performers to satirists like Mark Twain to sitcoms like "Seinfeld," a new book explores the way comedy shapes how we see each other as humans and as Americans. "Funny Stuff: How Comedy Shaped American History" is a collaboration between the Smithsonian Institution and the National Comedy Center. This hour, we discuss some of the best comedy of all time — and its impact — with center director Journey Gunderson.

The average age of a U.S. Representative is in the 50s. In the Senate, it's in the 60s. Many Congressional members are also white and wealthy. And this is not representative of the country as a whole. So, what's keeping Congress from being more reflective of nation's population, and therefore, actually getting things done? So. Many. Things. Bob calls up political scientist Maya Kornberg, author of Stuck: How Money, Media, and Violence Prevent Change in Congress, to unpack why Congress feels frozen in place ... and how we can fix it. From campaign money and social media to political violence and the rise of “performative politics,” Maya explains why younger leaders struggle to break through.

A new study shows Americans expect to delay retirement by four years as the cost of living rises…and 4 in 10 aren't confident they'll have enough money to last. If that sent you into a spiral, this episode is your permission to exhale. Historian, real estate investor, and early retiree Joseph S. Moore, PhD, spent years stress-testing three centuries of American financial advice, and what he found will reframe the way you think about retirement. His new book, How to Get Rich in American History: 300 Years of Financial Advice That Worked (and Didn't), makes the case that retirement anxiety is nothing new, and that every generation that's felt it has ended up being fine. Then, Jean sits down with Lacy Garcia, founder and CEO of Willow, an award-winning platform that connects women with vetted fiduciary financial advisors who actually understand their lives. Jean and Lacy get refreshingly honest about the money moves they wish they'd made sooner: investing earlier, finding an advisor before they felt "ready," keeping an emergency fund, and having the money conversations they'd been putting off.  Find a fiduciary advisor through Willow: hermoney.com/findanadvisor 

Every nation's history contains both beauty and atrocity — America is no exception. Yet increasingly, the American story is being told through only one lens. Recent data suggests that young Americans are being shaped to view their country with contempt rather than complexity.But the root of our failures isn't oppression along lines of race, gender, religion, or class. It's something more fundamental: our shared humanity.There is no perfect system because there is no perfect people. If we're going to keep our great Republic, we must know and learn from the dark periods of our history while lighting the way toward a brighter future.If we teach American history as an exercise in oppression, we will build a people who hate themselves.Dare to love America.Connect with Stephen:Website: https://stephenmansfield.tv/Instagram: https://instagram.com/mansfieldwrites/X: https://twitter.com/MansfieldWrites

Antifa claims to be fighting fascism, but does the movement actually resemble the very ideology it says it opposes? Todd breaks down the historical meaning of fascism, the origins of Antifa, and the growing misuse of political labels in modern America. From D-Day and the defeat of Nazi Germany to today's battles over free speech, constitutional government, and political violence, Todd examines why words matter and how dangerous misunderstandings can become. He also responds to comments from listeners and social media critics while explaining the difference between persuasion, political discourse, and intimidation. A conversation about liberty, truth, history, and the future of the American experiment.

As the United States approaches the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Americans are once again turning their attention to the people, events, and ideas that shaped the nation. Historic sites are preparing special programs. Museums are opening new exhibits. Families are tracing Revolutionary-era ancestors. Across the country, interest in early American history is growing once again. At the same time, one of the most influential portrayals of the Revolutionary period in recent years did not come from a textbook or documentary series. It came from Broadway. The musical Hamilton became far more than a stage production. It introduced millions of people to the lives and struggles of the founding era through music, storytelling, and performance. For many viewers, it was the first time names like Alexander Hamilton, Aaron Burr, Marquis de Lafayette, and John Laurens felt like real people instead of distant figures from a classroom lesson. The production became a cultural phenomenon almost immediately. Songs from the soundtrack spread through streaming services, classrooms, social media, and family living rooms. Teachers used clips from the musical to introduce historical topics. Students memorized lyrics about cabinet debates and the early financial system of the United States. Suddenly, conversations about the founding period were happening far outside traditional history circles. As America prepares for its 250th anniversary, an important question naturally follows: How historically accurate is Hamilton? The answer is both yes and no...

Gen. Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson's legendary Shenandoah Valley Campaign during the American Civil War.The battle saw Jackson's forces clash with Union troops under Maj. Gen. John C. Frémont.

Tonight we're revisiting one of our most controversial episodes—the JFK assassination.In this rerelease, we take another look at the claims presented in The Men on the Sixth Floor and the witness testimony that has fueled decades of debate about what really happened in Dealey Plaza on November 22, 1963.Was Lee Harvey Oswald the lone gunman, or was there a larger operation involving multiple shooters?We explore eyewitness accounts, alleged inconsistencies in the official investigation, reports from witnesses who claimed shots came from different locations, and the evidence that has led many researchers to question the Warren Commission's conclusions. We also discuss the book's central premise that Oswald may not have acted alone and that a coordinated team could have been involved in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.More than sixty years later, the JFK assassination remains one of the most debated events in modern history. Whether you agree with the official narrative or believe there is more to the story, this episode examines the testimony, evidence, and unanswered questions that continue to captivate researchers and the public alike.Visit Our Merch Store

History is full of strange coincidences, and the Civil War is no exception. In fact, we've documented many coincidences that occurred during the biggest turning point in our nation's history – from the story of Wilmer McLean, whose land provided the stage for the first Battle of Bull Run and whose house witnessed the signing of peace in Appomattox, to the Union soldiers from the 27th Indiana Volunteer Infantry, who found a copy of Confederate General Robert E. Lee's "Lost Order" wrapped around three cigars in a field near Frederick, Maryland. But maybe no story of coincidence can compare to that of Stefan Lorant, who was researching a book on Abraham Lincoln in the 1950s, when he came across an image of the President's funeral procession as it moved down Broadway in New York City. The photo was dated April 25, 1865 and it unlocked a truly remarkable occurrence in American History.Want some Missing Chapter merchandise? Click ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!

DOCKET ALERTS:   The Trump administration is tapping out on the lawsuits defending executive orders attacking law firms. Too bad, so sad for the Vichy law firms that pledged a billion dollars in "conservative pro bono" work. Justice Gorsuch says we can't take guns away from drug users because the Founders were drunk all the time.   The Federal Circuit declines a request by the Trump administration to delay tariff refunds.   Kansas's revocation of trans citizens' drivers licenses draws its first court challenge.   And Virginia's redistricting referendum can go ahead. MAIN SHOW:   We discuss the history of the president's power to commence hostilities and explain why Trump and his goons are so deeply invested in claiming that the war in Iran — which isn't a war at all! — was defensive, not offensive. Plus Andrew's got a deep dive into the War Powers Resolution and how it might bring about an end to this nightmare.   We've got clips from 60 Minutes's very good story on the danger federal judges face when they go against the Trump administration.    Judges in the Western District of West Virginia join the list of jurisdictions telling DHS/DOJ that contempt charges are coming if they keep relying on crackpot legal theories to kidnap residents.   Judge John Tunheim issues class relief to refugees in Minnesota, barring DHS from interning them for recertification.   And for subscribers: a discussion of the constitutionality of the War Powers Resolution.   Trump Administration to Drop Defense of Law Firm Sanctions https://www.wsj.com/us-news/law/trump-administration-to-drop-defense-of-law-firm-sanctions-cb839c39   US v.

Joseph S. Moore, author of "How to Get Rich in American History: 300 Years of Financial Advice That Worked (& Didn't)," says that America is dealing with "Big Woe" (as in "Woe is me"), but that examining the past makes it clear that "The American Dream is alive and well." Moore points out that what people think is unique today has all been played out in the past, comparing cryptocurrency to the thousands of self-issued currencies that existed before the start of the Civil War, prediction markets to the "bucket shops" of the 1800s and more, but he also notes that the advice that people think "always works" has not actually proven that if you look throughout financial history. "The dynamic, changing economy we live in is evolving," he says, "so hopefully we can learn something from the past to better understand where we are in the present." Kelley Wright, editor at Investment Quality Trends — now celebrating its 60th year, making it one of the longest-running investment newsletters — brings his dividend-with-value focus to the Market Call.

In 1806, when Meriwether Lewis and William Clark return from their journey—having led the Corps of Discovery across eight thousand miles of rapids, mountains, forests, and ravines—they bring an incredible tale starring themselves as courageous explorers, skilled survivalists, underrated scientists, and peaceful ambassadors. While there is truth in those descriptions, there is also distortion. From one of the most exciting new historians to emerge in the past decade, This Vast Enterprise: A New History of Lewis & Clark (Simon & Schuster, 2026) offers a novel take on the expedition: a gripping narrative that draws on lost documents, stunning analysis, and Native perspectives. Craig Fehrman spent five years visiting more than thirty archives, interviewing more than a hundred sources, and collecting oral history passed down over centuries. He came to see that the success of Lewis and Clark depended on much more than just Lewis and Clark. We all know Sacajawea, and some of us know York, the Black man Clark enslaved. But here we meet John Ordway, a working-class soldier who fought grizzlies and towed the captains' hulking barge. We hear from Wolf Calf, a Blackfoot teenager who watched his friend die in a battle with Lewis and his men. Each chapter moves to a different person's point of view, describing their desires and contradictions. We see Thomas Jefferson operating in an age of bitter partisan unrest—his secret political maneuvers to fund the expedition, revealed here for the first time, are a case study in presidential power. We witness the strategy and strength of Black Buffalo, completely upending our understanding of Lakota-American diplomacy. York, in his chapters, finds ways to wield power and make choices in an era that didn't allow him much of either. Clark is not a folksy Kentuckian but a student of the Enlightenment. (Fehrman discovered his college notebook; no previous biographer even realized that he went to college.) Lewis is someone willing to sacrifice everything for his country and his mentor, Jefferson. In the end, the captains are men who needed help—from Sacajawea, from the Corps, and from each other. Mile after mile, the expedition pushes on through hailstorms and flash floods, frostbite and infections, rattlesnakes and rabid wolves, with the Spanish cavalry in fierce pursuit. Fehrman balances the story's adventure with the humanity of its protagonists. The result is a thrilling reminder that even the most familiar moments in history can still surprise us. Craig Fehrman is a journalist and historian. He lives in Indiana with his wife and children.

Route 66, known as “America's Main Street” is not the longest or most-travelled American highway. Fully paved in the 1930s, it became a Depression-era migration route for poor farming families fleeing the Dust Bowl for a new start in California. It's been featured in popular media for decades. Kathleen Franz, lead curator at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, unpacks more of the road's history.And, the 1973 album “A Grain of Sand: Music for the Struggle of Asians in America” was one of the first recognized musical albums expressing Asian American identity. It's often considered a blend of political statements within a collective art project. Sojin Kim, curator of the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage, details the album's legacy.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

“History repeats itself,” the saying goes. Or, as another saying goes, “those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” There’s also “History doesn’t repeat itself but it often rhymes.” Together these sayings suggest the value of history in our culture and our belief that it can help us understand the present. This hour, we’re talking about history and our current political moment. This episode is the second featuring a live event with Pulitzer Prize-winning historians Jon Meacham and Jill Lepore. If you missed the first episode, don't worry— this discussion will stand on its own. The event was the final discussion of The Connecticut Forum’s 34th season. GUESTS: Jill Lepore: the David Woods Kemper ’41 Professor of American History at Harvard University and Professor of Law at Harvard Law School. She is also a staff writer at The New Yorker and bestselling author. Her books include These Truths: A History of the United States and We the People: A History of the U.S. Constitution. Jon Meacham: Distinguished Visiting Professor at Vanderbilt University. His bestselling books include And There Was Light: Abraham Lincoln and the American Struggle and the Pulitzer prize-winning American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we are joined by Admiral William O. Studeman, United States Navy, retired, and his wife Diane, former Pan Am stewardess and one of the most gracious ambassadors the airline ever had.Their connection to Pan Am runs deeper than most. Diane grew up in Milford-on-Sea in Hampshire, England. The navy and aviation were not just a backdrop to her childhood but its very fabric. She joined Pan Am as a stewardess in the early 1960s, at what many would argue was the cultural apex of the Jet Age, when the uniform was a statement and the Clipper was a promise of something larger than the ordinary.Bill is, in the truest sense, a Pan Am kid. His father, Oliver J. Studeman, joined Pan Am's Western Division at Brownsville, Texas in 1933, flying mail-carrying tri-motored Fokkers from Texas through Mexico to Panama and across the north coast of South America. He was known professionally as O.J. and had the nickname of "Stude" by his friends and colleagues. Over four decades, O.J. rose from Chief Pilot of the Western Division to Operations Manager of the Alaska, Pacific, and Latin American divisions, to Assistant Vice President of Pan Am's Guided Missile Range Division at Cape Canaveral, to Vice President of the Metropolitan Air Facilities Division at Teterboro, New Jersey, where he retired in 1972. His uncle, on his mother's side, also worked for the airline. Bill was born in Brownsville in January 1940. Pan Am, for him, was not just a company. It was a family inheritance.Bill and Diane met in the summer of 1962 at London's Heathrow Airport, where Bill was working the Pan Am ticket counter and Diane was working the TWA desk. She joined Pan Am shortly after. He entered Officer Candidate School in 1963 and spent the next 32 years in the United States Navy as a naval intelligence officer. At his Senate confirmation hearing, Senator Frank Murkowski said Bill had "mastered, as few others have, the intricate and arcane world of signals intelligence." He served as Director of Naval Intelligence, Director of the National Security Agency, and Deputy Director of Central at CIA, twice serving as its acting director of the agency across two presidential administrations. Diane hung up her wings to become a Navy wife and mother. They settled eventually in Annapolis.Before the interview, this episode explores three places that rarely appear in the standard Pan Am narrative: Brownsville, Texas, where the airline learned to fly in the clouds and where O.J. "Stude" Studeman first fell in love with the sky; Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay, the man-made island built to launch the Boeing B-314 Flying Boats toward Asia, whose art deco terminal still stands today; and Teterboro Airport in New Jersey, the oldest operating commercial airport in the New York metropolitan area, and the place where O.J. Studeman's remarkable Pan Am career came to a close.Bill and Diane's son, Rear Admiral Mike Studeman (ret.), recently published a book on leadership called Might of the Chain: Forging Leaders of Iron Integrity now available in bookstores and as an audiobook. This is Episode 65 of The Pan Am Podcast, and the final full episode with Tom Betti as host in the history and humanities format that has defined this program since its first season. Episode 66, the season finale and Tom's final episode, will be a five-year retrospective with special guests.Support the showVisit Us for more Pan Am History! Support the Podcast!Donate to the Museum!Visit The Hangar online store for Pan Am gear!Become a Member! Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter!A very special thanks to Mr. Adam Aron, Chairman and CEO of AMC and president of the Pan Am Historical Foundation and  Pan Am Brands for their continued and unwavering support! 

America at 250: What Exactly Are We Celebrating? | Kitchen Talk With Karel America is about to celebrate its 250th birthday… but what exactly are we celebrating? This week, a massive American flag was draped across Hoover Dam to launch the America 250 festivities. But as drought, climate change, political division, attacks on civil rights, and economic anxiety continue to reshape the country, Karel asks the uncomfortable question many Americans are quietly thinking: Is America truly something to celebrate right now? Broadcasting from the kitchen, Karel mixes food, commentary, politics, history, and real talk as he prepares soup and dives into the contradictions of modern America. From the drying of Lake Mead to the growing divide in the nation, this episode of Kitchen Talk is part cooking show, part social commentary, and completely unfiltered. What does patriotism even mean in 2026? And can a country celebrate freedom while so many feel left behind?

How did a car with chopped suspension and hydraulics become a symbol of pride and self-expression for an entire community? We'll cruise back in time to see how lowriders emerged from the post-WWII car craze and became a powerful symbol of Mexican American pride. It's a long road with a few speed bumps, but lowriders are now more popular than ever (especially in Japan!)So, lean your seat back and see how chrome, paint, and a dose of defiance turned classic cars into rolling works of art that have cruised their way into the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History. Learn more about the Smithsonian's exhibition on Lowriders — Corazón y vida — HERE This project received federal support from the Smithsonian Latino Initiative Pool, administered by the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Latino.

In this episode of Key Battles of American History, James speaks with Jenny Chan, director of Pacific Atrocities Education, about the often-overlooked human dimension of the Pacific War. We explore how events like the Nanjing Massacre, the Bataan Death March, and atrocities in the Philippines and Okinawa complicate traditional narratives of American military victory by highlighting their humanitarian consequences. We discuss the challenges of combating denialism and how her organization uses education and digital archives to preserve these histories. Finally, Chan makes the case that the most urgent “battle” today is educational: ensuring these stories are remembered and understood in a way that informs present-day global tensions.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You can't spell "hero" without JFK. Ok, so you can. But that doesn't take away from the fact that a young John F. Kennedy saved a man's life in WWII — a war he wasn't even supposed to be in! Bob calls up Alexis Coe, New York Times bestselling presidential historian and author of Young Jack: A Biography of John F. Kennedy, 1917–1957, to uncover the thrilling true story of JFK towing an injured crew mate through shark infested waters (by his teeth!) to safety. Alexis also helps us understand why JFK fought so hard to serve in WWII, despite serious health problems and a free pass out of the conflict. It's this bravery and selflessness that made JFK a dreamboat to the ladies and ultimately our 35th president. GUEST: Alexis Coe, author of Young Jack: A Biography of John F. Kennedy, 1917–1957 (to be released in 2026)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The FDA run by Don Jr.'s turkey hunting buddy. The FBI director snorkeling over dead soldiers at Pearl Harbor. The Supreme Court killed the Voting Rights Act and the DOJ is collecting voter rolls from nine states. Trump sold out Taiwan in Beijing, told you he doesn't think about your financial situation, then posted 28 AI-generated images of himself as a military commander at 2 a.m. before threatening to destroy Lauren Boebert for insufficient loyalty. Cult deprogramming experts are now publishing guides for talking to MAGA relatives. Storm the Capitol, get a check. Film ICE, get a 3 a.m. raid.It's been a wild week.

Most credit cards have that little 3- or 4-digit security code you constantly get asked for when shopping online. It can feel like a nuisance—but that tiny number plays a surprisingly important role in reducing fraud in a very simple and effective way. https://www.chase.com/personal/credit-cards/education/basics/why-do-some-sites-not-require-cvv We tend to think of financial advice as timeless: buy a house, invest for the long term, diversify your portfolio, put your money in index funds. But history tells a much messier story. There were periods when stocks performed terribly, when home ownership was a bad investment, and when other “sensible” advice turned out to be disastrously wrong. Joseph Moore, historian, investor, and author of How to Get Rich in American History: 300 Years of Financial Advice That Worked (& Didn't) (https://amzn.to/4uDCdrv), explains how financial “wisdom” changes over time, why so much money advice is shaped by the era we happen to live in, and what history can teach us about building wealth today. We've all heard the warnings about sitting too much and spending too much time staring at screens. But modern life practically demands it. Hours at a desk, then more hours scrolling, streaming, emailing, and checking notifications. The problem is, researchers are beginning to discover that this screen-heavy lifestyle may quietly affect far more than we realize—from energy and sleep to mood, focus, and long-term health. Manoush Zomorodi, award-winning journalist, host of NPR's TED Radio Hour, and author of Body Electric: The Hidden Health Costs of the Digital Age and New Science to Reclaim Your Well-Being (https://amzn.to/3PraStx), shares what science is uncovering about the physical and mental toll of modern digital life—and why small, surprisingly simple changes may make a meaningful difference. Revenge can feel incredibly satisfying—at least in your imagination. But what happens after you actually get even with someone? Does revenge deliver the relief and closure people expect, or does it create something else entirely? https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/if-love-could-kill/202506/revenge-from-grievance-to-grief PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS AQUA TRU: Take the guesswork out of pure, great-tasting water.
