    #204 Albemarle Arises: Culpeper's Rebellion

    The History of the Americans

    In 1677, the longtime residents of the old and remote county of Albemarle in northern Carolina, a collection of cranks and dissidents who had fled from Maryland and Virginia and were used to living free of interference from the Carolina proprietors and the Crown’s tax collectors, revolted against new attempts to collect duties on tobacco. Quite astonishingly, they succeeded! And not without some history comedy along the way. In the long history of the Americans, it is easy to ignore Culpeper's Rebellion. Virtually all surveys of American history do. Albemarle was small, a literal backwater, and not even the most important part of Carolina. Historians of North Carolina, however, see it as a truer reflection of the American Revolution, a century later, than the other colonial upheavals of the 1670s. The Albemarle rebels were an early example, in their democratic tax-avoiding free-trading don't-tread-on-me resistance, of ideas that would later be taken up throughout English North America.  Subscribe to my Substack!

    The forgotten liner that outshone Titanic in real life.What if the most dramatic story of the Olympic-class liners isn't the one you've seen on film?In this fascinating episode of Review It Yourself, we uncover the extraordinary true story of RMS Olympic — the ship often overshadowed by her ill-fated sister, Titanic — but whose career was packed with mutiny, collisions, U-boats, innovation, and wartime heroics.Sean and maritime historian guest Mark Chirnside dive deep into the remarkable history behind his definitive book, RMS Olympic: Titanic's Sister. First published in 2004 and expanded in its 2015 second edition, this meticulously researched volume restores Olympic to her rightful place in maritime history.Far from being the “boring older sister,” Olympic earned the nickname “Old Reliable” for good reason. She survived a major collision with HMS Hawke, served with distinction during the First World War, transported thousands of troops, and even rammed and sank a German U-boat. While Titanic's story has dominated popular culture, Olympic's 24-year career tells a powerful story of resilience, adaptation, and maritime safety reform in the early 20th century.In this episode, we explore:Why Olympic has been historically overlookedThe myths and misconceptions surrounding the Olympic-class linersThe ship's vital wartime service and technical innovationsHow historical narratives are shaped — and sometimes distortedThe research process behind writing a definitive maritime historyMark shares insights into archival research, the challenges of correcting the historical record, and why Olympic deserves far greater recognition among historians and enthusiasts alike.About the GuestMark Chirnside is a respected maritime historian specialising in White Star Line and Cunard liners of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

    Virginia Roberts Giuffre filed a civil lawsuit in 2021 against Prince Andrew in federal court in New York, alleging that he sexually abused her on multiple occasions in 2001 when she was 17 years old and being trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. The complaint detailed encounters in London, New York, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and included the now-infamous photograph showing Andrew with his arm around her waist. Andrew repeatedly denied the allegations, most notably in his 2019 BBC interview, where he offered unusual explanations that drew widespread scrutiny. His legal team initially sought to have the case dismissed, challenging jurisdiction and the validity of Giuffre's claims. However, a federal judge allowed the case to proceed, intensifying public and institutional pressure on the royal household. In February 2022, before the case went to trial, Andrew reached an out-of-court settlement with Giuffre without admitting liability, reportedly paying a substantial sum and agreeing to a statement expressing regret for his association with Epstein.Royal historians and constitutional commentators were sharply critical of Andrew's handling of the crisis, arguing that his confrontational legal posture and the tone of his public denials deepened reputational damage to the monarchy. Many contended that the decision to grant the BBC interview was strategically disastrous, portraying him as evasive and detached rather than transparent. Others argued that his initial effort to fight the lawsuit aggressively in U.S. court clashed with long-standing royal traditions of restraint and discretion, prolonging the scandal instead of containing it. Critics suggested that by refusing early mediation and allowing the case to advance publicly, Andrew forced the institution into a defensive position that threatened broader stability for the royal family. Historians noted that the monarchy survives on public trust and symbolic integrity, and that Andrew's legal strategy appeared to prioritize personal exoneration over institutional preservation. The eventual settlement, while closing the civil case, was widely viewed as a tacit acknowledgment that the strategy had failed to shield either his reputation or that of the Crown.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

    From the beginning of Galileo's career, well before the publication of the Sidereus Nuncius, his contemporaries took pains to shape his reputation and fame. They were fully aware that their efforts would shape the course of his career; they also knew that they would profit from helping him. With Galileo's Fame: Science, Credibility, and Memory in the Seventeenth Century (U Pittsburgh Press, 2025), Anna-Luna Post offers a welcome new perspective on the volatile dynamic between early modern fame and science in Italy, shifting the focus from the recipient of fame to its brokers. Galileo's contemporaries knew his rise to fame was not a matter of course. Not only were his discoveries highly contested, he also was not the first to observe Jupiter's four largest moons. Yet, of the three men who did so between the summer of 1609 and the winter of 1610, Galileo is the only one who achieved both widespread fame and posthumous glory. Post convincingly argues that fame is, rather than the direct result of merit or extraordinary achievements, shaped through human intervention.

    The Epstein Chronicles
    Mega Edition: Prince Andrew's Strategy In The Lawsuit With Virginia Roberts Comes Under Fire (2/24/26)

    The Epstein Chronicles

    Virginia Roberts Giuffre filed a civil lawsuit in 2021 against Prince Andrew in federal court in New York, alleging that he sexually abused her on multiple occasions in 2001 when she was 17 years old and being trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. The complaint detailed encounters in London, New York, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and included the now-infamous photograph showing Andrew with his arm around her waist. Andrew repeatedly denied the allegations, most notably in his 2019 BBC interview, where he offered unusual explanations that drew widespread scrutiny. His legal team initially sought to have the case dismissed, challenging jurisdiction and the validity of Giuffre's claims. However, a federal judge allowed the case to proceed, intensifying public and institutional pressure on the royal household. In February 2022, before the case went to trial, Andrew reached an out-of-court settlement with Giuffre without admitting liability, reportedly paying a substantial sum and agreeing to a statement expressing regret for his association with Epstein.Royal historians and constitutional commentators were sharply critical of Andrew's handling of the crisis, arguing that his confrontational legal posture and the tone of his public denials deepened reputational damage to the monarchy. Many contended that the decision to grant the BBC interview was strategically disastrous, portraying him as evasive and detached rather than transparent. Others argued that his initial effort to fight the lawsuit aggressively in U.S. court clashed with long-standing royal traditions of restraint and discretion, prolonging the scandal instead of containing it. Critics suggested that by refusing early mediation and allowing the case to advance publicly, Andrew forced the institution into a defensive position that threatened broader stability for the royal family. Historians noted that the monarchy survives on public trust and symbolic integrity, and that Andrew's legal strategy appeared to prioritize personal exoneration over institutional preservation. The eventual settlement, while closing the civil case, was widely viewed as a tacit acknowledgment that the strategy had failed to shield either his reputation or that of the Crown.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

    Mat McLachlan Historian Bombing of Darwin (19 February 1942) On 19 February 1942, mainland Australia came under attack by the Japanese. The first air raid on Darwin involved over 260 enemy aircraft. They bombed military bases, the town and the harbour sinking several ships including a US destroyer. Hundreds of people were killed and wounded. During this air attack, an Australian soldier shot down a Japanese Zero (fighter plane), and the plane crash landed on Melville Island where the pilot was the first Japanese soldier taken Prisoner of War by Australia. He was incarcerated in Cowra NSW, and was instrumental in the Cowra Prisoner of War Breakout that occurred in August 1944. The Bombing of Darwin on 19 February 1942 was the first of 64 air raids on Darwin, the last occurring on 12 November 1943. As well as the air attacks on Darwin, throughout 1942 and 1943 there were additional air attacks on northern Australia, including Katherine in the Northern Territory, Townsville and Mossman in Queensland, Horn Island in the Torres Strait and Wyndham, Port Hedland and Derby in Western Australia. In total, there were 97 air attacks on northern Australia. The first air attack on Darwin was by far the largest.

Moreover, we delve into the complexities and nuances of barbecue's origins, challenging preconceived notions and emphasizing the contributions of various cultural groups.

    The Department of Homeland Security has entered a partial government shutdown, after a two-week funding extension expired without a bipartisan agreement on immigration reforms. While core agencies like ICE and CBP remain operational due to existing funding streams, the lapse forces roughly 95% of TSA agents and thousands of FEMA employees to work without pay, echoing the financial strain of a previous 43-day shutdown. Republican candidate for the North Carolina Senate and former RNC Chairman Michael Whatley joins the Rundown to discuss yet another political standoff and how it ties into his bid to replace retiring Senator Thom Tillis. As the nation marks the federal holiday for Washington's birthday, 'The White House', a new FOX Nation series, explores the executive mansion's early years, highlighting the political power plays, personal scandals, and the high-stakes compromise that shaped the nation's capital. Historian and CEO of the American Philosophical Society, Dr. Patrick Spero, who is featured in the series, joins to discuss the complex lives of the Founding Fathers, the influential role of Dolley Madison in shaping the building's social identity, and how the "People's House" has constantly evolved to meet the needs of a growing country.
