Today we talk about dogs that served in the United States Army that had dog tags. Sheba served as a sentry dog during the Korean War. What she did and what happens to the dogs after the war is what our podcast is all about.

Send us a textToday's episode connects ancient Viking history to today's global headlines. This is my seventh conversation with historian and political commentator Martyn Whittock—this time we dive into his brand-new book, “Vikings in the East: From Vladimir the Great to Vladimir Putin.”Martyn joins us from Bath, UK, where he's been tracking the strange but powerful ways history is being used—and misused—in modern politics. We explore how Viking warriors, Norse myths, and the baptism of Vladimir the Great in 988 C.E. are showing up in Putin's speeches and statues… and even in his justification for war. We'll ask: Is Russia the “true” heir of Western values? What's the story behind that giant Vladimir statue in Moscow? And why does ancient Kyiv play such a central role in today's geopolitical storm?We also turn our lens on the U.S.—trade wars, tariffs, Bitcoin, Christian nationalism, and wild predictions about our political future.Anyone who is thoughtful and just a little bit skeptical about the stories we hear will want to join us for this insightful, instructive exploration of history.    SHOW NOTESSupport the showBecome a Patron - Click on the link to learn how you can become a Patron of the show.

In this episode, we examine Friedrich Hayek's The Road to Serfdom, a chilling warning about how societies drift into tyranny—not through force, but through the seductive promise of central planning. Written in the shadow of fascism and communism, Hayek's argument is more relevant than ever: when the state takes control of the economy, it inevitably takes control of our lives. What begins as progress can end in oppression. This is the road to serfdom.

We step into the shadowy corridors of 17th-century Paris to uncover the life and legacy of Catherine Monvoisin—better known as La Voisin. Fortune-teller, midwife, poisoner, and alleged sorceress, La Voisin rose from modest beginnings to become a central figure in the notorious Affair of the Poisons—a scandal that shook the court of King Louis XIV to its core. We explore her double life: by day, a respected healer and diviner; by night, a dealer in black masses, love potions, and fatal poisons. How did she build such a powerful underground network? What drew noblewomen and royals to her services? And what ultimately led to her fiery downfall? Join us as we unravel the dark mystique of one of history's most infamous femmes fatales—and examine the fear, desperation, and superstition that fueled her rise and fall.

Folge 2: Systemfehler In dieser Folge geht es darum, was die drei ehemaligen Soldaten, Luftlandesanitäterin Annika, Feldjäger Alex und Fallschirmjäger Robert, im Einsatz erlebt haben und wie sich ihre Posttraumatische Belastungsstörung am Anfang zeigte. Eine Gewöhnung an traumatische Situationen tritt Psychiaterin Dr. Ulrike Schmidt zufolge nicht ein. Traumazentren und – behandlungskonzepte sind für die Bundeswehr neu, erläutert Rechtsanwalt Arnd Steinmeyer - sie war auf traumatisierte Soldaten lange nicht eingestellt, "weil man ja immer auch davon ausgegangen ist, die Bundeswehr macht mehr so ein bisschen Unterstützungs- und Hilfseinsätze, und da wird schon nichts passieren". Doch es ist etwas passiert im schwersten Gefecht in der Geschichte der Bundeswehr, Karfreitag in Kundus 2010 - drei Gefallene, acht Verletzte. Mit Folgen für Annika, Alex - und für Robert, der bereits 2002 traumatisiert worden war. Sie funktionieren zunächst weiter. Doch sie haben jahrelange Schlafstörungen, quälende Flashbacks, teils auch Suizidgedanken. "Man hat sich das nicht eingestanden. Man will ja nicht krank sein. Ein Soldat ist nicht krank", so Feldjäger Alex. In dieser Ausgabe geht es außerdem um die Doppelrolle der Ärzte: Einerseits entscheiden sie im Auftrag der Bundeswehr über Geldzuwendungen und berufliche Zukunft, andererseits sollen sie als Mediziner helfen: "Das ist ein ganz hochproblematischer Punkt, dass die Soldaten manchmal von Vorgesetzten behandelt werden", sagt Trauma-Expertin Schmidt. Die nächsten Folgen von "Killed in Action - Trauma Bundeswehr" werden am 22.5. veröffentlicht.

Send us a textIn a land ruled by bullets and betrayal, Belle Starr rose to infamy as the Wild West's ruthless "Bandit Queen." She rode with killers, stole with outlaws, and turned survival into an art form. With ties to Jesse James and a trail of stolen horses behind her, Belle thrived where law and loyalty meant nothing. But her empire of rebellion ended in blood, leaving her body cold on a dirt road and her murder unsolved.

Drafting the Past is a show about the craft of writing history, hosted by historian and writer Kate Carpenter. In this episode, Kate is joined by historian Dr. Omar Valerio-Jiménez. Omar is a professor of history at the University of Texas at San Antonio, where he is also an associate dean for graduate studies. He originally worked as an engineer before going back to school to become a historian. His work focuses on histories of Mexican American civil rights, citizenship, education, and memory. His first book was called River of Hope: Forging Identity and Nation in the Rio Grande Borderlands, and his second book, which is the focus of this interview, is Remembering Conquest: Mexican Americans, Memory, and Citizenship. Remembering Conquest explores the collective memories of the U.S.-Mexico War and how those memories motivated civil rights campaigns among several generations of Mexican Americans. Omar is a pleasure to speak with, and his thoughtful approach to his work came through in our conversation. Keep an ear out especially for his work log system, which I might have to try out myself.

Welcome back to Drafting the Past, a podcast where we talk all about the craft of writing history. I'm Kate Carpenter and for this episode, I'm delighted to be joined on the podcast by Dr. Emily Herring. As you'll hear, I've been following Emily's career for a while now, and I was eager to ask about her first book and her shift from academia to full-time writing. Her book is called Herald of a Restless World: How Henri Bergson Brought Philosophy to the People. It's an intellectual biography of philosopher Henri Bergson, who achieved remarkable fame in the early 1900s, and it's a genuinely fascinating and pleasurable read. Let's dig into it.

From The History Podcast, this is Invisible Hands. This is the story of a hidden force that changed Britain forever — free market capitalism — and the invisible hands that shaped it.David Dimbleby traces the history of an idea that charts his lifespan. It started in a fighter plane in the Battle of Britain, gained traction in shadowy post-war London backrooms and rose to heights of excess in the new champagne bars of the City. Now it's 2025 and it has come to define every aspect of life in Britain. An idea that transformed the economy, politics and, ultimately, society itself.But how did it happen? Who are the little known people behind it? What did they want?And - as Donald Trump threatens to overturn the global economic system - is the free market here to stay? Or are we entering a new era?

They explore the current state of the mafia, discussing whether there's a resurgence, the dwindling influence of the old guard, and the challenges the mob faces today.

Japan isolated itself from other countries for centuries. In the land of the samurai, tradition and honour were central. Guns were seen as dishonourable – until they weren't. We see how Japan only changes its capital city via anagram (this could be next: Yo-ok-t?). So we investigate the remarkable Meiji modernisation period of a century or so ago, which launched Japan as a superpower – and prepared Japan to be a world-leader in technology, as the country still is today.  Check out the photos from our trip on https://www.dadandmelovehistory.com/ After the end theme music you'll find these questions: 1. What was a ‘shogun'? 2. What was Kyoto? 3. What anagram of KYOTO did the Japanese capital move to? 4. Which country was Commodore Perry from and what did he force Japan to do in the 1850s and 1860s? 5. Japan modernised its education system, economy, transport, communications and what else? 6. By the early 1900s, Japan's modernisation made its power rise. What countries did Japan invade before 1941?

Description: Phlebotomy is a very important tool in our medical world, but its history is a little dark. For centuries bloodletting was seen as a cure for many ailments, so a tool was invented to help make the process easier, the fleam. Medical science has sure come a long way.    

He wasn't Keanu Reeves, and he definitely wasn't a Christian hero. In this episode, we rip the golden halo off Constantine the Great and dig into the actual history behind the man who allegedly saw a cross in the sky and converted an empire. Spoiler: he was more into Apollo than Jesus.Was Constantine a devout believer or just a savvy warlord with excellent PR? We're dragging in all the big names—Diocletian, Eusebius, Helena, Galerius, Julius Caesar, Sol Invictus—and tossing their reputations on the pyre of historical comedy.Featuring entrails, imperial propaganda, and a brief stopover in ancient Canada (don't ask, just listen). Perfect for fans of religious satire, Roman drama, and anyone who's ever side-eyed Christian revisionism. Sketch comedy. Blasphemous history. Reluctant education. Because saints don't order the murder of their wives and sons. But emperors do. 

Welcome back to Drafting the Past. I'm Kate Carpenter, and this is a podcast about the craft of writing history. In this episode, I'm joined by historian and writer Dr. Surekha Davies. Surekha is a former history professor who now writes full-time, and she can also be found speaking about history and consulting on monsters. In fact, monsters have played a major role in much of her research. Her first award-winning book was titled Renaissance Ethnography and the Invention of the Human: New Worlds, Maps, and Monsters. Her second book, which is aimed at a general audience, is out now; it's called Humans: A Monstrous History. The book looks at, as she puts it, how people “have defined the human in relation to everything from apes to zombies, and how they invented race, gender, and nations along the way.” I spoke with Surekha about how she made the switch to full-time writing, her newsletter, Notes from an Everything Historian, and how she organized what could have been an unruly book. Enjoy my conversation with Dr. Surekha Davies.

During the Vietnam War , over 50 billion pieces of propaganda were dropped on North Vietnam, many of which were safe conduct passes. These passes would encourage defecting to the south and guarantee that the pass holder would not be harmed. This was considered a success since at least 160,00 soldiers used the passes and surrender.

In the early 1900s, birth control was considered obscene, and  distorting it or receiving it through the mail was a criminal offense. So the United States was forced to take a package of birth control devices to court to stop them. But their plans did not turn out as planned.

In part 2 of our collaboration, Zofia guest-hosts the Visualising War and Peace Podcast to interview project founder, Dr. Alice König. In this conversation, Alice she unveils the groundbreaking Ancient Peace Studies Network—the first of its kind dedicated to examining how peace was understood, experienced, and represented across different ancient cultures.Discover why peace narratives have received far less scholarly attention than war stories, and how Dr. König's team is working to change that by investigating whose voices and experiences are reflected in ancient accounts of peace and reconciliation.What can ancient approaches to conflict resolution teach us about modern peacebuilding? In this thought-provoking special episode, we explore how elite-centered peace narratives shaped societal attitudes in antiquity and continue to influence our understanding of peace today. Dr. König reveals how her interdisciplinary network is "reading against the grain" of ancient sources to uncover ordinary people's lived experiences of peace—voices that have been historically marginalized but might offer valuable insights for contemporary peace literacy.Don't miss our conversation about bridging academic research with creative outreach, as Dr. König shares details about the network's collaboration with a professional theater company, NMT Automatics, and the upcoming multi-authored publication, "New Visions of Ancient Peace." This episode offers a perfect blend of historical scholarship and practical application, demonstrating how ancient wisdom might help us visualize and build more effective paths to peace in our modern world. We hope you enjoy this collab episode!If you would like to get in touch with Alice regarding her work, please visit the University of St Andrews' Visualising War website and the Visualising Peace Project.The music for the episode was composed by Jonathan Young, and Zofia Guertin mixed the episode. To get in touch and find out more about Two Friends Talk History:Find us on Instagram & TwitterSupport us through PatreonBuy our merch on RedbubbleExplore more resources and topics about the ancient world on ArchaeoArtistIllustration by Zofia GuertinIf you'd like to get in touch, email at twofriendstalkhistory@gmail.com. 

Both David and Bob are history buffs. But studying history is not as simple as watching a documentary, a biopic, or reading a bestselling narrative history. We need to be aware of how historians actually do their craft, and use those same tools as we watch and read. Some use history to advance their political agendas, while others just echo ideas that are not substantiated by historical scholarship. Armchair historians can often get it very wrong. How should Christians study history? Christians are a people of the Truth, so how do we know what is legitimate history? How do we reintegrate our faith with our understanding of the past?Our guest is Dr. John Fea, Distinguished Professor of American History at Messiah University in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. He has recently released the second edition of his book, Why Study History?: Reflecting on the Importance of the Past (Baker Academic, 2024). In this book, he talks about what historians do, what bad history looks like, and how studying history can be a form of spiritual formation.Scroll down to learn more about Dr. John Fea.

From the prehistoric to the modern, the history of dentistry can be a bit painful. Starting crudely and moving up to the idea of "tooth worms" we slowly and painfully made progress in how we care for our teeth. Then in the 1800s we made amazing leaps in knowledge and treatment, and luckily with the help of novocaine.

As the clock counted down on December 31st, 1989, it brought one of the most remarkable decades of the 20th Century to a close. A decade that--when it came to pop culture--may have been one of the most significant in history.

The 1980s were about to come to an end--but the decade was definitely going out with a bang. This is 1989: the year that changed pop culture forever...

Send us a textWhat type of man does it take to walk a foot beat on 25th Street in the late 1800's and early 1900's? What was police work like at the Turn-of-The-Century in Junction City? And how did these men manage to keep such a tumultuous and transitioning population in check? Join us for the fights, foot chases, and more as we take a foot beat on rowdy 25th Street with William Darius "WD" Silvey, one of the first of the violent gentlemen that called Ogden City policing their career.Ogden, Ogden Utah, Junction City, True Crime, Historic 25th Street, Two-Bit Street, Ogden True Crime, Utah True Crime, Police, Police Podcast, Tales of Policing, History, History Podcast

This week, we hit the streets of Rome with our recording equipment to search for ancient ruined artifacts or “spoglie” hidden in plain sight. Rome has been inhabited without interruption for over three thousand of years. A past like that cannot but leave its mark on a city. And if you keep your eyes open, the vestiges of Rome's ancient past can be found around almost every corner. From the fluted Corinthian columns walled into the sides of nondescript buildings to the piazza that follows the shape of the ancient stadium it was built upon, from the crumbling Roman buildings that found new life as Renaissance palaces to the fragments of ancient decoration plastered into the walls of medieval buildings…the history of Rome is palpable in its very urban fabric. You don't have to visit an archeological site or even a museum to discover the city's many layers of history. Just take a long rambling walk through Rome's historic center and you'll find the tangible ghosts of the ancient city coming to life all around you. Want to follow along with us? Here's a list of the stops we make on our passeggiata: •    Ponte Fabricio •    Torre dei Caetani (*Note: Tiffany mistakenly refers to it as the Torre dei Crescenzi in the episode. Oops!) •    Portico Of Octavia •    Theater of Marcellus (and Palazzo Orsini) •    Largo di Torre Argentina (and the Cat Sanctuary) •    Piazza Navona (and Sant'Agnese in Agone Church) •    Piazza di Pietra and the Temple of Hadrian PS If you'd like to book a walking tour of Rome with Tiffany, read about her tours here.
