Mens Room Question: What was the most embarrassing or important thing that you forgot?

Mens Room Question: What was the most embarrassing or important thing that you forgot?

One October morning in 2018, journalist William Geroux says he was returning some books to his local Virginia Beach Library when he noticed a new state historical marker planted in the ground near the front entrance. It said the library was built on the site of a World War II prisoner of war camp. In Mr. Giroux's author's note in his latest book called "The Fifteen," he writes that he "was surprised and a little embarrassed" not to know that, during World War II, the U S had 700 POW camps spread throughout the United States in 46 different states, housing 371,683 German soldiers and 49,784 Italians. His book is subtitled "Murder, Retribution, and the Forgotten Story of Nazi POWs in America." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

How many news articles have left you curious about the personal stories behind the headlines? In our hyper-connected world we have the tendency to rapidly move on from one news story to the next. In this episode, award-winning journalist Molly Thomas shares her journey of covering stories often abandoned and neglected by mainstream media. From her work on the Afghan women denied education to migrant workers in Canada, Molly discusses the importance of returning to stories long after the headlines move on. She reveals how her life experiences, faith, and conviction drive her to shine light on marginalized communities worldwide. When misinformation abounds, Molly offers insights into the challenges facing modern journalism and suggestions as to how viewers can become more informed and engaged global citizens. This thought-provoking discussion explores the responsibility of journalists and consumers alike to remember those whose stories are too quickly forgotten.

This week we talk with Marine Corps veteran and acclaimed journalist Chas Henry about his dramatic new book, “Fuji Fire, Sifting Ashes of a Forgotten U.S. Marine Corps Tragedy”. It's the story of how in 1979 the largest typhoon ever recorded hit Camp Fuji, Japan, ruptured a fuel tank, sending 5000 gallons of fuel into huts where Marines were staying, eventually engulfing the camp in walls of fire after the fuel was ignited by kerosene heaters. Henry recalls the origin of the project was when he posted photos from his deployment there (before the fire), and how it inspired a multi-year investigation to finally tell their story. In our detailed interview Henry shares first-hand accounts he gathered from veterans who lived through the tragedy. He also shares how Japanese forces assisted Marine forces despite strained relations with the US Government. We also hear gripping stories about the crews who helped save Marines, a brave military doctor, advancements in emergency medicine and burn care and a Marine who inspired his fellow survivors. Plus how the work of legendary Hollywood actor Dick Van Dyke helped some Marines survive.

Send us a textEvery monument tells a story. Every museum preserves voices that might otherwise be forgotten. As a veteran who served for two decades, I've always been drawn to military history – not for political reasons, but because these sites connect us to our shared human experience.From the moment you step into the National World War I Museum in Kansas City, you're walking above a symbolic field of 9,000 poppies, each representing 1,000 combat deaths during that conflict. This museum isn't just a collection of artifacts – it's the result of passionate citizens who raised millions in just days following the war to ensure those sacrifices wouldn't be forgotten. The 80,000-square-foot facility houses over 300,000 items that tell the complete story of a war that fundamentally changed our world.Military sites often reveal surprising stories, like the George Patton Museum I stumbled upon in Pilsen, Czech Republic. Created by a local man whose historical collection was once confiscated by Soviet authorities, this museum stands as a testament to truth – documenting how American forces, not Soviet troops as communist propaganda claimed, were the ones who liberated the region. Or consider the Palawan Special Battalion Memorial in the Philippines, which commemorates both Filipino guerrillas and American POWs who suffered horrifically under Japanese occupation.American sites like Fort Pulaski in Georgia, with its 11-foot thick walls that proved vulnerable to new rifled artillery, and the Little Bighorn Battlefield in Montana, which now honors perspectives from both sides of that conflict, remind us that military history isn't just about tactics and weapons – it's about human ingenuity, courage, and the consequences of our actions.This Memorial Day, between barbecues and sales, take a moment to remember those who died while serving. Better yet, plan a visit to one of these remarkable places where history comes alive. As the saying goes, those who don't understand history are doomed to repeat it – and these museums ensure we never forget the full human cost of conflict.Have you visited any military museums that moved you?

In this episode we look at the concept of distance and time in relation to the fallen of the Great War. And how the act of remembrance affects our emotions today. To do this we look at the fortunes of Ilston Stevenson's parents after he disappeared whilst on patrol and was never seen again. We discover what it was like for a German soldier to be subjected to terrible artillery bombardment and how it killed a young man from Stuttgart. And we listen to the testimony of a Prisoner of War who returned home with both feet amputated and later died. And how did the parents of an fallen Australian soldier continue to remember their son who is on the Menin Gate, a long way from home in both “time and distance”? And we discover the ruins of a long forgotten Chateau on the Somme that was a German medical facility.

The American government was faced with an unprecedented challenge: where to house the nearly 400,000 German prisoners of war plucked from the battlefield and shipped across the Atlantic. On orders from President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Department of War hastily built hundreds of POW camps in the United States. Today, traces of those camps—which once dotted the landscape from Maine to California—have all but vanished. Forgotten, too, is the grisly series of killings that took place within them: Nazi power games playing out in the heart of the United States. My guest today is William Geroux, a World War II expert and author of "The Fifteen: Murder, Retribution, and the Forgotten Story of Nazi POWs in America". He discusses the origins of the German prisoner-of-war camps, the daily lives of the men held there, and the deep divisions between hardline Nazis and less political prisoners—tensions that ultimately led to a series of murders and the prosecution of fifteen POWs.

In this episode of the AAC podcast, we have adventure writer Cassidy Randall on to talk about her new book, "Thirty Below." Thirty Below is the gripping story of the Denali Damsels–a group of female adventurers who achieved the first all-women's ascent of Denali, also known as Mt. McKinley, the tallest peak in North America. Everyone told the “Denali Damsels,” that it couldn't be done, that women were incapable of climbing mountains on their own. It was 1970. Men had walked on the moon; but women still had not stood on the highest points on Earth. But these six women were unwilling to be limited. They pushed past barriers in society at large, the climbing world, and their own bodies. Following vibrant mountaineers with a lot of personality, like the stubborn Grace Hoemann and the brilliant chemist Arlene Blum, this book tells a rich tale of a community's set of limiting beliefs, and the women who dared to prove them wrong, despite disaster and risk on the expedition. In the episode, Cassidy and the AAC dive into some of the experiences of these women that pushed them to achieve more and more in their mountaineering careers, the challenges of archival research, and capturing a climbing story that is too often forgotten.

Welcome to The Not Old Better Show, the podcast for those who believe life gets better—and even sweeter—with age. I'm your host, Paul Vogelzang, and today we're diving into the soul-stirring legacy of two musical giants whose voices, harmonies, and vision shaped the very sound of a generation: Curtis Mayfield and Jerry Butler. If you grew up spinning 45s on your record player or gathered around the radio to hear those smooth, soaring harmonies, then you already know that Mayfield and Butler weren't just voices—they were storytellers, activists, and pioneers of a sound that broke barriers. Together, they helped shape the golden age of soul music, and their influence continues to inspire generations. But did you know that before the world knew them as soul legends, they were just two young men from Chicago's Cabrini-Green projects, united by gospel music, ambition, and a dream of something bigger? Today, we'll uncover the fascinating story of how Jerry Butler and Curtis Mayfield met, formed the Impressions, and created hits like the unforgettable “For Your Precious Love.” We'll also explore why Jerry's path ultimately led him to go solo—and how Curtis turned his heartbreak into a revolutionary career that brought soul music into the Civil Rights Movement. Joining us today is returning guest Scott Shea, a writer and expert in music history, whose latest article brings these incredible stories to life. From Curtis Mayfield's genius as a songwriter to Jerry Butler's powerful, underrated baritone, we'll reflect on their journey, their struggles, and their lasting impact on American music and culture. This one's for the music lovers, the memory keepers, and anyone who remembers the days when a song could soothe your soul and spark a revolution. So grab a cup of coffee or tea, sit back, and let's celebrate the legacy of two legends who reminded us all to “Keep on Pushing.” I'm Paul Vogelzang, and this is The Not Old Better Show. Let's get started.

Director Alfonso Maiorana's new documentary, “Goddess of Slide,” tells the story of Ellen McIlwaine, a pioneering singer-songwriter and slide guitarist who should have been a household name. Born in Nashville and raised in Japan, Ellen played with the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Johnny Winter and Taj Mahal before ultimately settling down in Calgary where she worked as a school bus driver in the last decade of her life. Now, she's finally receiving her rightful place in music history. Alfonso joins Tom Power to tell us more about her remarkable life and legacy.

In the history of pro wrestling, so many men are credited with making wrestling what it is today. From Gorgeous George to Bruno Sammartino to Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair and The Rock. Each one is credited with moving the industry forward. But in the world of women's wrestling, one name seems forgotten. And she's the woman who truly started it all. Today fans know stars like Trish Stratus, Lita, Bianca Belair and Mariah May. But the true history of women's wrestling stretches back to one woman. Her name is Mildred Burke. And her story is no longer forgotten. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

During World War II, approximately half a million German prisoners of war were held in the United States, housed in 700 camps spread across the country, from Florida to Maine. These POWs were treated in accordance with the Geneva Conventions, often working in agriculture and other industries to alleviate domestic labor shortages. Today, evidence of these POW camps has all but vanished, and with them the harrowing knowledge of what happened beyond the battlefield. But today’s guest, William Geroux (Jer-oh), author of “The Fifteen: Murder, Retribution, and the Forgotten Story of Nazi POWs in America,” not only exposes the forgotten history of these POW camps on American soil, but of the Nazi power games that dominated life within them. While German prisoners were protected by the Geneva Convention and generally treated fairly by their American captors, ardent Nazis in dozens of the camps began to punish and attack their fellow German inmates who failed to live up to Nazi ideology. What followed was a grisly series of murders in the heart of the United States.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode is sponsored by Bilt Rewards- go to JoinBilt.com/Immigrantly to get started Some stories demand to be told. This one, in particular, struck me deeply. I sat down with Nancy Wang, a storyteller, artist, and author of Red Altar, to talk about her ancestors—Chinese immigrants who helped build California's fishing industry against all odds. Their ingenuity, their fight against racist laws, and their sheer will to survive felt eerily familiar. As we spoke, I found myself reflecting on the weight of legacy. How many immigrant stories like Nancy's have been erased? How many sacrifices did it take for communities like hers and mine to thrive in a country that often tries to erase our presence? Nancy shared how her ancestors were banned from fishing during the day, forcing them to innovate by using fire baskets to catch squid at night. They were resilient, determined, and unwilling to be erased. As she spoke, I couldn't help but think of today's immigrants facing exclusion and finding ways to survive. This episode is more than history; it's about the living, breathing legacy of immigrants in America. It's about resilience, the cost of belonging, and why telling these stories matters now more than ever. Listen in, and let's make sure these stories don't stay hidden

Story Transcript:Sr: На Калемегдану, у јесенском сумраку, магла је обавијала старе зидине тврђаве, док је Милан пажљиво пратио свако своје корак.En: At Kalemegdan, in the autumn dusk, the fog enveloped the old fortress walls as Milan carefully tracked his every step.Sr: Љишће је шуштало под његовим ногама, док је плаветни дан полако уступао место ноћи.En: The leaves rustled beneath his feet while the blue day slowly gave way to the night.Sr: Метро је тихо брујао у даљини као подсетник да је Београд жив и ван историје.En: The metro quietly hummed in the distance, serving as a reminder that Belgrade lives beyond history.Sr: „Пази на корацима“, рече Лука, Миланов пријатељ, који је корачао са наглашеним опрезом, као да је сваки камен био своје место у историји.En: "Watch your step," said Luka, Milan's friend, who walked with pronounced caution, as if each stone held its place in history.Sr: Лука је био скептичан око Миланове опсесије открићем скривених порака у каменим зидинама.En: Luka was skeptical about Milan's obsession with discovering hidden messages in the stone walls.Sr: „Зашто ти је то важно?En: "Why is this important to you?"Sr: “ често би питао.En: he would often ask.Sr: Јована, локални водич за туристе, придружила им се те вечери.En: Jovana, a local tour guide, joined them that evening.Sr: Знала је сваки угловић тврђаве, и увек је била спремна да подели неку причу из прошлости.En: She knew every nook of the fortress and was always ready to share a story from the past.Sr: „Милан има око за детаље“, рекла је она.En: "Milan has an eye for details," she said.Sr: „А ми смо овде да видимо шта ће пронаћи данас.En: "And we are here to see what he will find today."Sr: “Најзад, док се лагано одлазак сунца бојио небо у наранџасто и црвено, Миланова пажња је привукла стари камен са необичним ознакама.En: Finally, as the sunset gently painted the sky in orange and red, Milan's attention was caught by an old stone with unusual markings.Sr: Пришао му је, пажљиво прелазећи преко натписа прстима.En: He approached it, carefully tracing the inscriptions with his fingers.Sr: „Шта то имаш?En: "What do you have there?"Sr: “ упита Лука, оклевајући.En: Luka hesitated to ask.Sr: „Изгледа као порука, али је избрисана временом”, одговори Милан, загонетан погледа.En: "It looks like a message, but it has been erased over time," replied Milan, with a mysterious look.Sr: Јована је пришла ближе.En: Jovana came closer.Sr: „То је из периода Првог светског рата“, рекла је, наслућујући истину.En: "This is from the period of the First World War," she guessed the truth.Sr: „Можда је то порука војника.En: "Maybe it's a message from a soldier."Sr: “Милан није могао да одоли пориву да сазна више.En: Milan could not resist the urge to know more.Sr: Одлучио је да пронађе извор поруке, иако је било мало времена пре мрака.En: He decided to find the source of the message, even though there was little time before dark.Sr: „Морам да сазнам шта ово значи“, рекао је, већ корачајући дубље у лавиринт камења.En: "I must find out what this means," he said, already stepping deeper into the labyrinth of stones.Sr: Лука је оклевао.En: Luka hesitated.Sr: „Шта ако се изгубиш?En: "What if you get lost?"Sr: “„Ако не идемо сада, можда никада нећемо сазнати истину“, рече Милан одлучно.En: "If we don't go now, we may never discover the truth," said Milan decisively.Sr: Јована је, пак, веровала у Миланову интуицију и водила их дубље.En: Jovana, however, believed in Milan's intuition and led them deeper.Sr: Дошли су до скривеног пролаза, изгледа додатак од неке старинске обнове, који је откривао улаз у малу комору.En: They came to a hidden passage, seemingly an addition from some ancient renovation, which revealed an entrance to a small chamber.Sr: Тамо су нашли старе војне предмете и исписане документе.En: There, they found old military items and inscribed documents.Sr: Док су пролазили кроз похабане папире, открили су заборављену причу о групи српских војника који су ту чували линију током рата.En: As they went through the worn-out papers, they discovered a forgotten story of a group of Serbian soldiers who held the line there during the war.Sr: Њихова порука је носила наду и истрајност.En: Their message carried hope and perseverance.Sr: Са овим открићем, Милан, Лукa и Јована напустили су тврђаву под светлима уличних лампи.En: With this discovery, Milan, Luka, and Jovana left the fortress under the streetlamp lights.Sr: Свиљали су поглед ка истој тачки, али сада са дубљим разумевањем и поштовањем за историју и једни за друге.En: They glanced back at the same spot, but now with a deeper understanding and respect for history and one another.Sr: Ушли су у град са новооткривеном захвалношћу за заједничку историју.En: They entered the city with newfound gratitude for their shared history.Sr: Милан је научио да цени своје инстинкте, али и снагу тимског рада.En: Milan learned to appreciate his instincts but also the power of teamwork.Sr: Лука је сада био скептичан, али жељан да чује више, а Јована је видела снагу у сарадњи.En: Luka was still skeptical but eager to hear more, and Jovana saw the strength in collaboration.Sr: Магла се дизао, али у њеним рукама је остао светлост открића.En: The fog lifted, but in her hands remained the light of discovery.

In an age that doesn't think too much about history, you might be forgiven for thinking that a culture of exercise only emerged in the 20th century. But the idea of purposefully exercising to change one's body — what folks used to call "physical culture" — likely goes back to the very beginnings of time.Here to unpack the origins, evolution, and future of fitness is Dr. Conor Heffernan, a Lecturer in the Sociology of Sport at Ulster University and the author of The History of Physical Culture. Today on the show, Conor takes us on a fascinating and wide-ranging tour of physical culture, from the ancient Egyptians, who made their pharaohs run around a pyramid to test their fitness to rule, to the ancient Greeks who used their gymnasiums for both bodily training and intellectual philosophizing, to modern strongmen who became proto fitness influencers, and many periods and societies in between. We discuss how training practices changed over time, where they may be going next, and the evergreen principles from past eras that we could still learn from today.Resources Related to the PodcastAoM Podcast #988: Of Strength and Soul — Exploring the Philosophy of Physical FitnessAoM Podcast #939: What Lifting Ancient Stones Can Teach You About Being a ManRogue documentaries on stone lifting in Scotland, Iceland, and SpainAoM Podcast #39: Eugen Sandow, Victorian StrongmanAoM Podcast #624: The Crazy, Forgotten Story of America's First Fitness Influencer, Bernarr MacFaddenAoM Article: An Introduction to Indian Club TrainingAoM Video: Intro to Indian Club TrainingDe Arte GymnasticaJohann GutsMuthsFriedrich Ludwig JahnTurnvereine gymnastic system The Strongman Project Connect With Conor HeffernanPhysical Culture Study websiteConor's faculty page

We are back to Spanish Florida after a long hiatus, with the story of St. Augustine, La Florida after the founding of the city and the slaughter of the Huguenots at Fort Caroline until the construction of the Castillo de San Marcos in the 1670s. The city would almost fail, and in 1607 the Spanish Crown ordered that it be shut down and that Spain withdraw from Florida all together. That order would be promptly rescinded when the English landed at Jamestown. It is a story of courageous Catholic evangelism, Indian wars, relentless epidemics, and pirates, climaxing in the raid of the dread pirate Robert Searles in 1668. That attack would, ironically, result in a renewed commitment by the Spanish government to sustaining the city which would ensure its long-term survival as the oldest continuing town in the United States.

Jeff Bezos's fortune is vast, but he isn't the richest person in history. That title belongs to Mansa Musa, whose wealth, even adjusted for inflation, surpasses Bezos, Elon Musk, and Bill Gates combined. Ruling the Mali Empire in the 1300s, Musa controlled vast gold and salt reserves and his immense generosity caused a decade-long gold recession in cities like Cairo, Medina, and Mecca. He transformed Timbuktu into a global center of trade, culture, and learning. Despite his monumental impact, Mansa Musa's story is largely forgotten outside of Africa. In this episode, I discuss the forgotten story of Mansa Musa and the transformative power of his wealth and visionary leadership.
