In a land fraught with turbulence and oppression, Miep Gies helped to shelter and supply Anne Frank's family (and others) while they were in hiding from the Nazis; an act of civil disobedience that was, though illegal, the most moral of human endeavors.

"The History Chicks," hosted by Beckett Graham and Susan Vollenweider since 2011, now boasts tens of thousands of listeners worldwide.
The History Chicks met fifty listeners in London for the trip of a lifetime! From the coziness of Jane Austen's house to the grandeur of Westminster Abbey, we left no stone unturned in this magical city. We wanted you to hear from the chicks and roosters that accompanied us on our journey... and so we invited them to help make this episode. You'll hear tales of art, theater, adventure, and (of course) history - but perhaps the greatest experiences for the 50 people on this journey were the lifelong friendships we made along the way.
The Compendium Podcast: An Assembly of Fascinating and Intriguing Things
In this episode of the Compendium: An Assembly of Fascinating and Intriguing Things, we'll be journeying into the heart of aviation history as we delve into the life and legacy of Amelia Earhart. Pioneer, adventurist, and emblem of courage, Earhart's life is a testament to the power of breaking boundaries and flying into the unknown. We unpack her unprecedented solo journey across the Atlantic Ocean, her relentless pursuit of equality for women in aviation, and the enduring mystery that surrounds her ill-fated final flight. Join us as we discuss the theories, evidences, and enigmas that make Amelia Earhart a figure that continues to captivate historians, researchers, and enthusiasts alike. Our insights are not only based on known facts but also cover little-known aspects of her life, her motivations, and the world that influenced her decisions. This episode will leave you inspired by Earhart's audacity and enchanted by the unsolved mystery that envelops her legacy. Whether you're an aviation enthusiast, history buff, or someone drawn to the allure of mysteries, this episode is your passport to a transatlantic adventure, an insightful cultural perspective, and a captivating whodunit, all rolled into one.

"Your Dead to Me" is a history/comedy mashup released by BBC Podcasts and The Athletic. Each week, the show's host, Greg Jenner, presents a historical topic discussed by himself and two guests. One guest is an authority on the subject matter, and the other is a comedian - adding humour and unexpected perspectives. Formerly of the beloved children's show Horrible Histories, Greg brings his same fun educational style to You're Dead to Me. Recommended for those who enjoy The History Chicks or Making History, You're Dead to Me appeals to listeners interested in learning about the past with humour mixed in. Enjoy! Darren.

The History Chicks - No Spoilers! This is podcast is made up of the history lessons you've always wanted but never got. Every two weeks Beckett Graham and Susan Vollenweider pick a woman from the thousands of year of human history and tell her story. From a variety of eras and backgrounds, everything about each woman is mentioned including interpretations, connections, and bias. The episodes start with a 30 second summary of what you can expect, goes into the birth, life, and later death of the individual, and then wraps with the sources used. One thing I really love about the hosts is that even though the stories are told mainly from the perspectives of a particular woman, Graham and Vollenweider recognize the bias in that. A character maybe perceived and presented as a villain in one woman's episode but be a hero in their own. This self-awareness plus in depth research is what makes this podcast so beloved among history fans. And I mean beloved. Starting in January of 2011, the show has 4.7 out of 5 stars and 6.9K Ratings. To keep such a high average over a long time is difficult for even the best pods. It's also been recognized with a handful of awards such as a finalist in The People's Choice Podcast Award, a finalist in The Academy of Podcasters Awards, and Mixcloud Online Radio Awards, Best Talk Show in the Education Category. They were finalist in The People's Choice Podcast Award for seven years straight. I highly recommend checking out their detailed websites and packed show notes for things like photos, videos, and news for every episode. Their Facebook group, History Chicks Podcast Lounge, is also such a friendly and inviting community. So far there are 263 episodes! On average they are about an hour long and while they are typically put out every two weeks, the day does vary. My favorite episodes have been “Laura Ingalls Wilder” and “The Romanovs (Part 1).” Audio is rough in the first couple of episodes but like with every podcast gets better with time. I really love this podcast and I'm so happy there are so many episodes. You could relisten a couple of times before I think you could begin to remember it all. It's comforting, relaxing, distracting, and interesting. What more could you ask for?Similar Pods: The Gilded Gentleman, What'sHerName, and Stuff You Missed in History Class.

Welcome to episode 32! What do the world's first computer programmer and Godzilla have in common? Absolutely nothing but that's how Hightailing Through History works, folks. First, Laurel takes the smoke circle through the story of Ada Lovelace, considered by many historians to be the first computer programmer and considered by all to be Lord Byron's daughter (Ugh. Byron.) After, KT shares the surprisingly dark history behind the origins of Godzilla. Hot 19th century gossip? Check. Byron Bashing? Check. Giant monsters and nuclear fallout? Check and Check.

Dean kicks off Season 2 with a quick life update plus his thoughts on the Chauvin Trial. Black Lives Matter!
Amy: Welcome to Breaking Down Patriarchy! I'm Amy McPhie Allebest. Did you know that it used to be illegal for married couples to use birth control? Did you know that the Supreme Court only overturned states' laws prohibiting birth control 55 years ago? I did not know that until I did some research in preparation for today's texts. We will be discussing Margaret Sanger's 1918 essay “The Morality of Birth Control” and her 1934 essay “The Case for Birth Control.” I want to begin by emphasizing that this project highlights essential texts that describe the construct of patriarchy and the critiques that have challenged it throughout history. During each episode we include a biography of the author of the text we're discussing, but that is only to give background and context to the important piece of writing that the person produced. There are other podcasts out there whose purpose is to tell the stories of amazing women - “History Chicks,” “Encyclopedia Womannica,” and “What's Her Name” are all excellent podcasts that are biography-centric. Our project here at “Breaking Down Patriarchy” is about important documents on a historical timeline, and in some ways the author of a certain text might not necessarily be exemplary. I say this because the author of this week's texts is a controversial figure. Margaret Sanger was an American birth control activist, sex educator, writer, and nurse working in the WWI era and 1920's. She popularized the term "birth control", opened the first birth control clinic in the United States, and established organizations that evolved into the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Her essays, “Morality and Birth Control” and “The Case for Birth Control” were critically important in challenging patriarchal norms, and they are found on almost every Women's History reading list. But Sanger was also involved in the eugenics movement, and rubbed shoulders with some very racist people. Some have accused Sanger herself of racist views, and some organizations have disavowed her. We at Breaking Down Patriarchy disavow and condemn racism in every form. Full stop. Today, as in every episode, we will simply be examining a text and its significance on our historical timeline as we strive to understand patriarchy and its critiques. But before we continue the discussion, I want to introduce my reading partner, Courtney McPhie! Hi, Courtney, and welcome back to Breaking Down Patriarchy! Courtney: Hi, Amy! Amy: Courtney is not afraid of complicated narratives - you were my reading partner when we discussed the Seneca Falls Convention and we talked about the racist invectives of Elizabeth Cady Stanton. You tackle texts with such intelligence and compassion and you don't shy away from a challenge. Courtney Intro: If you didn't hear our episode on Seneca Falls, Courtney is a high school English teacher outside DC, where she fights for equity and representation in the classroom. Another highlight about Courtney is she loves podcasts! Her favorite is NPR's Code Switch. She has loved participating in the podcast because her undergrad offerings of women's studies courses was extremely limited, so she feels like she is getting the solid education in feminist lit she always wanted. Me too, Courtney! That's the goal - to finally understand how things evolved for women the way they did. And this topic was yet another one that I had absolutely no knowledge of. If you had asked me when women were first allowed to use birth control (and just to point out - it was a group of men deciding whether women should or shouldn't be allowed to use birth control - that's why this is a patriarchal issue), I wouldn't have known. My point of reference recently has been “Call the Midwife,” which I highly recommend watching. So anyway… let's learn a bit about the author of “Morality and Birth Control,” and “The Case for Birth Control,” Margaret Sanger. Can you introduce her to us, Courtney?

We're back! Well, sort of. It's Black History Month, so we're bringing you this special bonus episode celebrating one of the MANY African American food legends, Zephyr Wright. Zephyr was chef to Lyndon and Lady Bird Johnson for over 25 years, including in the White House. She was known for her exquisite Southern cuisine, most famously her Texas Red Chili, or Pedernales River Chili. But in addition to her contributions to food, her unique access to the Johnsons gave her the opportunity to champion civil rights in a direct and personal way, and she might even be the person who convinced LBJ to sign the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Plus, Lia gives us a little history of chili in Texas and the Chili Queens of San Antonio who put it on the map. For more great content about the stories & foods we talk about on the show (plus a peek BTS) connect with us at @FoodDayPod on Instagram & Twitter, join our Facebook Group & check out our webpage.

Of the tens of thousands of U.S. patents granted in the 19th century, only a small fraction were held by women. One of those women -- Josephine Cochrane -- would change the world by solving a simple household problem. While throwing lavish dinner parties in her gracious home in Shelbyville, Illinois, Cochrane noticed that her fine china was being damaged while being washed. Certainly there was a better way of doing the dishes? Cochrane's extraordinary adventure would lead to places few women are allowed -- into gritty mechanical workshops and the exclusive corridors of big business. Nobody could believe a woman responsible for such a sophisticated mechanical device. In her own words: “I couldn't get men to do the things I wanted in my way until they had tried and failed on their own. They insisted on having their own way with my invention until they convinced themselves that my way was the better.” FEATURING: The voice of Beckett Graham from the History Chicks, portraying the actual quotes of Mrs. Cochrane! (Or shouldn't that be Cochran?) http://www.boweryboyshistory.com/2017/04/an-extraordinary…-washing-machine.html
