This week, we are heading to West Virginia and not for a relaxing mountain getaway. We are going to prison. Specifically the West Virginia Penitentiary. We have tiny cells, massive riots, and an electric chair built by an inmate because apparently that was a job you could have. We even have a brief Charles Manson appearance.We'd appreciate it if you took a moment to help our podcast by rating and reviewing on apple and NOW on Spotify!

Has the Ark of Noah been found? Reportedly, yes. But the reports stretch back to 1960 and repeat at least once a decade. The recent discovery is not actually a find so much as it is a core drilling test that has not been finalized. So how can people claim the Ark has been found and proved for sure? They can't, honestly. Additionally, the Ark story has been used as proof that Jesus really resurrected from the grave, literally, even though we are talking about different books, chronologies, languages, and testaments. The completed scientific research done on the same Durupınar Formation in Turkey dates back in the 1990s and proved that an iron bracket was actually “derived from weathered volcanic minerals.” For those who think questioning the story is somehow anti-Christian, perhaps they fail to realize that promoting misleading stories about the Ark could actually damage the already external, fragile reputation of Christianity. Furthermore, the same could be said about flood stories because they are found all over the world, several pre-dating Genesis. Wouldn't their existence reinforce the biblical story? The argument that these stories are somehow different is all a matter of language and perspective, when in fact, they are telling the exact same story assuming that the flood was global and not localized. Also, assuming we're not talking about archetypes. The Ark story, like the recent Shroud of Turin story which was literally reported to prove that Jesus resurrected from the dead because of salt and water, is also almost certainly being pushed by Israeli propagandists alongside similar magical finds of temple beams, Biblical cities, etc., to manipulate Christians into supporting global economic and physical war in the name of framed prophecy. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

In this episode of History Ignited, we dive into the lyric "Watergate" and uncover the scandal that shook the nation.It all started with a late-night break-in at a fancy hotel and office building in Washington, D.C. Who were these clumsy burglars, and what secrets were they trying to find? We will follow the clues to see how a simple piece of tape on a door lock led investigators to secret recordings in the Oval Office. Tune in to learn how a watchful security guard and a few determined reporters unraveled a cover-up that ultimately forced President Richard Nixon to resign, proving that no one—not even the President—is above the rules.Send us Fan MailAbout History Ignited: History Ignited is the award-winning kids and family history podcast inspired by Billy Joel's We Didn't Start the Fire.

The Compendium Podcast: An Assembly of Fascinating and Intriguing Things
In 2016, five members of the Tromp family fled their farm in a single car, leaving behind their passports, credit cards and mobile phones. Why they fled remains one of Australia's greatest modern mysteries—a mystery that not even the Tromp family can fully explain. Over the following week, the family scattered across two states. One son, Mitchell, abandoned the journey and caught a train home. Two daughters, Riana and Ella, stole a car near the Jenolan Caves before reporting their own parents missing more than 100 miles away. Riana was later found catatonic in the back of a stranger's pickup truck. Their mother, Jacoba, turned up wandering the streets of Yass, while their father, Mark, disappeared into bushland. Today, we retrace the family's bizarre road trip, examine the many theories—from contaminated water and cults to supernatural cave spirits—and explore the explanation psychologists keep returning to: “folie à deux”, the rare condition in which one person's delusions spread to those closest to them. It's a remarkable true story about just how fragile—and contagious—the human mind can be. Topics Included what happened in the Tromp family disappearance the empty farm, the abandoned passports and the missing Peugeot the frantic drive north and the phone thrown from the window the Jenolan Caves and the folklore surrounding them why the family scattered one by one across two states Riana found catatonic in a stranger's pickup the theories, from farm chemicals to cults to cave spirits folie à deux and the science of shared psychosis the Eriksson twins and other real cases of shared delusion how the Tromps were found and what they said afterwards Resources and Further Reading Riana Tromp speaks about bizarre roadtrip in first interview - news.com.au Transcript of Mitchell and Ella Tromp speaking to the media on Sunday - The Age Folie à deux - Wikipedia Ursula and Sabina Eriksson - Wikipedia Tromp family - The Daily Telegraph Host & Show InfoHosts: Kyle Risi & Adam CoxEditor: Giordanno Bottezini Intro Music: Alice in dark WonderlandCommunity & Calls to ActionReview & follow on: Spotify & Apple PodcastsInstagram: @theCompendiumPodcastWebsite: thecompendiumpodcast.comSupport us: Sign up to PatreonSuggest a Topic: Freaky RegisterShare this episode with a friend!

The Compendium Podcast: An Assembly of Fascinating and Intriguing Things
A man falls from a New York hotel window. The CIA calls it suicide. Decades later, the story starts to look much darker. MKUltra is one of the most disturbing secret programmes in CIA history: a Cold War attempt to find out whether drugs, hypnosis, interrogation, sensory manipulation, and psychological pressure could break the human mind and reshape it. At the centre is Frank Olson, a biological warfare scientist who was secretly dosed with LSD at a CIA retreat and died days later after falling from Room 1018A of the Hotel Statler. But Olson's death is only one part of the story. This dark history moves from Nazi research and Operation Paperclip to Project Bluebird, Project Artichoke, Sidney Gottlieb's LSD experiments, Donald Ewen Cameron's psychic driving, Operation Midnight Climax, destroyed records, congressional hearings, and the questions that still refuse to die. Because MKUltra was not just about mind control. It was about secrecy, power, and what governments are willing to do when “national security” becomes the magic phrase that makes human rights disappear. Topics Include what MKUltra was and why the CIA created it Frank Olson's death at the Hotel Statler Cold War brainwashing fears and Project Bluebird Project Artichoke and CIA interrogation experiments Sidney Gottlieb and CIA LSD testing Donald Ewen Cameron and psychic driving Operation Midnight Climax destroyed MKUltra records and surviving financial files Rockefeller Commission and Church Committee revelations the unresolved questions around modern influence and control Resources and Further Reading Project MKULTRA, Research in Behavioral Modification - U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence MKUltra - Wikipedia Operation Paperclip - Wikipedia Sidney Gottlieb Testimony - National Security Archive DNI Denies CIA Raided Tulsi Gabbard's Office - Newsweek James E.

Jason Mayden walked into Jordan Brand in 2001 as its first design intern. He designed the Air Jordan 2009 and the Jordan CP3.II, left in 2014 to build his own companies, and came back a decade later to run design for the entire brand. This past May he stepped out of that job into one that did not exist until he took it, VP of Jordan Visioneering and LA28 Creative Lead.We talked about the Air Jordan 41, and about almost everything except the spec sheet.He explains what he had to unpack coming back into the building, and lands on the line that frames the whole conversation, that this is a reverential era and not a referential one. He responds to what Leo Chang and Donald Kelsey found on the road this year, six months of research across three continents where not one young athlete asked for the heritage colors. He makes the case that the women's game is where the next real change in basketball footwear comes from, and explains why he studies technical boxing to think about design.He talks about the Air Jordan XX3 and working alongside Mark Smith, Tinker Hatfield, and Tom Foxen when the fight was over solvent free glue. He talks about the crew building the game shoe now, and what it was like to watch them come into their own. He talks about criticism, and why indifference is the only reaction that would bother him.And he tells the story of being seven years old in a hospital bed, fighting a blood infection, imagining himself as Lucius Fox working for Michael Jordan, who he thought was Bruce Wayne. That is where the word visioneering comes from.One line from this conversation has stayed with me since we recorded it. You never really finish an Air Jordan, you just run out of time.Nick Engvall has worked in the sneaker industry for over two decades. He built the original Eastbay Blog during his time at Sole Collector, led the first dedicated sneaker team for Complex, led the first UGC and seeding programs for Finish Line, was employee number 9 at StockX, and was Sr. Director at Stadium Goods.The Sneaker Newsletter: https://www.thesneakernewsletter.comSole Collector: https://www.solecollector.orgSmall Luxuries: Sneakers, out October 2026 from Motorbooks: https://bookshop.org/a/122044/9798317900854SUPPORT THE SHOW:Donate Through Venmo: https://venmo.com/u/sneakerhistoryBuy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/nickengvallSupport On Patreon: https://patreon.com/sneakerhistoryIf you are interested in advertising to our audience, contact us: podcast@sneakerhistory.com[Links contain affiliate links; we may receive a small commission if you purchase after clicking a link.

The Compendium Podcast: An Assembly of Fascinating and Intriguing Things
Lucy Letby was convicted as Britain's most prolific child serial killer, but the case has never stopped raising questions. At the Countess of Chester Hospital, a sudden rise in neonatal deaths and collapses led consultants to suspect a young nurse who seemed impossibly ordinary. The prosecution said the pattern was clear: insulin poisoning, alleged air embolisms, overfeeding, suspicious notes, Facebook searches, hospital documents under her bed, and one nurse present again and again. But this Lucy Letby case does not end neatly at conviction. We look at the medical evidence, the shift chart, the NHS failures, the role of expert testimony, and the later claims from specialists who argue that natural causes or poor care may explain far more than the trial allowed. This is British true crime at its most uncomfortable: if Lucy Letby is guilty, a hospital failed to stop her. If she is innocent, the failure is even harder to face. Topics Included lucy letby and the countess of chester hospital the rise in neonatal deaths and unexplained collapses the insulin evidence involving baby f and baby l air embolism, overfeeding, and medical evidence the shift chart used against lucy letby hospital management and nhs safeguarding failures the handwritten notes and hospital documents found at her home why some experts question the conviction the criminal cases review commission and possible appeal questions the emotional impact on the babies' families Resources and Further Reading The Nurse Who Hated Babies, 2023 – Channel 4 Lucy Letby – Wikipedia The Thirlwall Inquiry – “The Thirlwall Inquiry Lucy Letby International Expert Panel Press Conference - Youtube Three bosses at Letby hospital arrested for ‘manslaughter – Press Reader Host & Show InfoHosts: Kyle Risi & Adam CoxEditor: Giordanno Bottezini Intro Music: Alice in dark WonderlandCommunity & Calls to ActionReview & follow on: Spotify & Apple PodcastsInstagram: @theCompendiumPodcastWebsite: thecompendiumpodcast.comSupport us: Sign up to PatreonSuggest a Topic: Freaky RegisterShare this episode with a friend!

It's just two brief words in Billy Joel's rapid-fire historical anthem, We Didn't Start the Fire, but it represents one of the most seismic cultural shifts of the 20th century. In this episode of History Ignited, we're unpacking the invention and explosive impact of the birth control pill.Approved by the FDA in the early 1960s, the first oral contraceptive was a medical marvel that fundamentally altered the fabric of modern life. We explore how "The Pill" catalyzed the sexual revolution, transformed women's access to higher education and the workforce, and sparked intense political and social debates that continue to this day.Join us as we explore the trailblazers who fought for its approval, the science behind its creation, and the lasting legacy of the little pill that changed the world.Send us Fan MailAbout History Ignited: History Ignited is the award-winning kids and family history podcast inspired by Billy Joel's We Didn't Start the Fire.

Wir verlassen die gewohnten Pfade und widmen uns in dieser Doppelfolge einer der faszinierendsten Figuren der griechischen Mythologie. Medeas Geschichte ist die einer Zauberin, Priesterin, Tochter, Geliebten, Ehefrau, Verräterin, Mutter und Mörderin. Die Geschichte ihrer Verbrechen schockiert seit Jahrtausenden und wirkt bis heute erschreckend modern. Nicht ohne Grund ist die „Medea“ von Euripides aus dem Jahre 431 v. Chr. bis heute eine der meistaufgeführten griechischen Tragödien. Diesmal reisen wir nach Korinth, wo Medea in größter Verzweiflung und Wut die schrecklichsten Verbrechen begeht – und Iasons Welt in Schutt und Asche legt. // Quellen & Shownotes // - Euripides; Medea; Übersetzung von Hazel Evermore; Kindle Edition 2026 - Euripides; Medea; Übersetzung von Hannes Ehlers; In: Die größten altgriechischen Dramen (Kommentiert), Kindle Edition 2024 - Haynes, N.; No Friend to This House; New York 2026 - Haynes, N.; Pandoras Jar; London 2021 - Fry, S.; Heroes; London 2019 - Haynes, N.; The Ancient Guide to Modern Life; New York 2011 - Hauser, E.; Mythica; Ealing 2025 - Classical Wisdom Speaks Podcast; Natalie Haynes on Medea: Greek Tragedy's Most Shocking Heroine; Podcast Episode vom 2.

The Compendium Podcast: An Assembly of Fascinating and Intriguing Things
A boy from a two-bedroom house in Gary, Indiana becomes the most famous human being alive. But the same childhood that built Michael Jackson may also be the thing that began to break him. In Part 1 of this two-part story, we go back to the very start: a steelworker father with stalled musical dreams, a houseful of children, and rehearsals enforced with belts and fear. From talent-show wins to a Motown deal, from the Jackson 5 to "I Want You Back" topping the charts, Michael's rise is explosive, and so is the pressure. We follow the road from disco and Off the Wall to the record-shattering Thriller, the moonwalk that stopped a room, the Pepsi fire that left lasting damage, the billion-dollar music catalogue, and the appearance that kept changing under the world's gaze. By the time he buys Neverland and the first allegation surfaces, the King of Pop's story has already turned. Music history, family, fame, and the cost of all three. Topics Included How a boy from Gary, Indiana became the King of Pop Joe Jackson's brutal rehearsals and the abuse allegations within the family The real story of who discovered the Jackson 5 The Motown years and four consecutive number-one hits Off the Wall, Thriller, and the moonwalk at Motown 25 The 1984 Pepsi commercial fire and the start of a painkiller dependency Buying the Beatles catalogue and the billion-dollar fallout with Paul McCartney Why Michael Jackson's appearance changed, including vitiligo and surgery Neverland Ranch and the first allegation that changed everything Resources and Further Reading Michael Jackson - Encyclopaedia Britannica The Jackson 5 - Motown Museum Michael Jackson - Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Pepsi fire left Michael Jackson in pain - Los Angeles Times Host & Show InfoHosts: Kyle Risi & Adam CoxEditor: Giordanno Bottezini Intro Music: Alice in dark WonderlandCommunity & Calls to ActionReview & follow on: Spotify & Apple PodcastsInstagram: @theCompendiumPodcastWebsite: thecompendiumpodcast.comSupport us: Sign up to PatreonSuggest a Topic: Freaky RegisterShare this episode with a friend!

The Compendium Podcast: An Assembly of Fascinating and Intriguing Things
Aileen Wuornos stood on the shoulder of a Florida highway with a pistol in her bag and a partner at home demanding rent money. Within a year, seven men were dead. She said it started as self defense, that her first client raped her and she fought back. The press called her the Damsel of Death and America's first female serial killer. But was she a victim striking back after a lifetime of abuse, or a killer who got a taste for it and did the rest for money? This is the story of Aileen Wuornos, told from a childhood of abandonment, beatings, and exploitation through to the Florida killings, her relationship with Tyria Moore, the thumbprint that gave her away, and the trial that sent her to death row. We follow the murder of Richard Mallory, the confession Moore was paid to draw out of her, and the question that has never gone away: how much of Aileen's story is true, and how much was survival, performance, or both? A hard, sad, genuinely complicated true crime story where the word victim applies to more than one side. Topics Included who aileen wuornos was and how she became a killer her childhood of abuse, abandonment, and the people who raised her the murder of richard mallory and the self defense claim how her years of sex work on florida's highways shaped the case her relationship with tyria moore and the immunity deal the thumbprint and pawned camera that led to her arrest the trial, the withheld evidence, and the death sentence the victim or villain debate at the heart of the case her final years on death row and her 2002 execution Resources and Further Reading Aileen Wuornos – Wikipedia Monster (2003) – directed by Patty Jenkins Aileen: Life and Death of a Serial Killer (2003) – directed by Nick Broomfield & Joan Churchill Monster: My True Story - by Aileen Wuornos & Christopher Berry-Dee Host & Show InfoHosts: Kyle Risi & Adam CoxEditor: Giordanno Bottezini Intro Music: Alice in dark WonderlandCommunity & Calls to ActionReview & follow on: Spotify & Apple PodcastsInstagram: @theCompendiumPodcastWebsite: thecompendiumpodcast.comSupport us: Sign up to PatreonShare this episode with a friend!

The Compendium Podcast: An Assembly of Fascinating and Intriguing Things
A single cheese sandwich helped bring down a multimillion dollar brand. Fyre Festival was sold as the most exclusive party on earth: supermodels, private jets, villas and live music on an island once linked to Pablo Escobar. What guests actually found was rain-soaked disaster-relief tents, no running water and assemble-your-own sandwiches in styrofoam boxes. This is the story of Billy McFarland, the young entrepreneur who scammed his way to the top long before Fyre, through a fake-exclusive members club called Magnises and a string of schemes that should have been red flags years earlier. Alongside the rapper Ja Rule, he sold 95% of the tickets to a festival that had no infrastructure, no finalised acts and only eight weeks to build paradise from rubble. What unfolds is one of the great strange true stories of the influencer age: a glossy con powered by orange squares on Instagram, warnings nobody listened to, and a collapse the whole world watched in real time. Part disaster, part scam, entirely unbelievable. Topics Included who Billy McFarland was and the scams that came before Fyre the Magnises members club and the trashed Manhattan townhouse how Ja Rule and Fyre Media came together the influencer marketing campaign and the orange tile stunt selling 95% of tickets with no infrastructure in place switching islands eight weeks before the festival the arrival day collapse and the disaster-relief tents the cheese sandwich that became the symbol of the whole failure how social media exposed the festival live Resources and Further Reading Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened (2019) – by Chris Smith Fyre Festival – Wikipedia Hype: Inside the Fyre Festival and the Golden Age of Grift – by Gabrielle Bluestone Billy McFarland – Wikipedia Host & Show InfoHosts: Kyle Risi & Adam CoxEditor: Giordanno Bottezini Intro Music: Alice in dark WonderlandCommunity & Calls to ActionReview & follow on: Spotify & Apple PodcastsInstagram: @theCompendiumPodcastWebsite: thecompendiumpodcast.comSupport us: Sign up to PatreonShare this episode with a friend!

This week on the MMA History Podcast episode 341, hosts Joey Venti and the MMA Detective Mike Davis sit down with two-time UFC welterweight title challenger, Hollywood stuntman and actor Frank Trigg for a raw, unfiltered look at the chaotic early days of mixed martial arts. Trigg shares how he coached a talented high school wrestler named Kid Yamamoto in Phoenix before the Japanese star became a Pride FC standout, the real reasons Yamamoto was deported, and the explosive behind-the-scenes fallout from the infamous Rickson Gracie versus Rico Chiapparelli showdown that got Chiapparelli uninvited from major grappling circles. From his time with Real American Wrestling alongside the likes of Randy Couture and Dan Henderson, the first Abu Dhabi Combat Club tournament against Renzo Gracie, early Japan promotions including Vale Tudo Japan against Jean Jacques Machado, Pride Bushido commentating, and the cutthroat realities of 1990s fight money and worked matches, Trigg delivers stories and details few others have ever heard.

The Compendium Podcast: An Assembly of Fascinating and Intriguing Things
A headless body hung in a Wisconsin barn, strung up like a deer carcass. That was what police found when the Ed Gein case broke open on the first day of hunting season in 1957, and it was only the beginning of what waited inside his farmhouse. This is the true story of Ed Gein, the quiet, polite handyman from Plainfield, Wisconsin, who became known as the Butcher of Plainfield and inspired some of the most terrifying characters in film history. We trace how a domineering, deeply religious mother named Augusta shaped a lonely boy who never broke free, and how that obsession curdled into something monstrous after her death. You'll hear what really happened to shopkeeper Bernice Warden and tavern owner Mary Hogan, what investigators discovered among the rubbish and rot inside his home, and the detail most people get wrong: Gein only ever confirmed two murders. The rest of his grim collection, he said, came from graves he had robbed. We also untangle how one man's life fed three wildly different films; Psycho, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and The Silence of the Lambs, and ask the uncomfortable question of how much sympathy a story like this can hold. A true crime story about isolation, control and the real horror behind Hollywood's nightmares. Topics included The discovery in the barn on the first day of hunting season The murder of Bernice Warden and the antifreeze receipt that gave Gein away Augusta Gein and a childhood built on isolation and religious fear The suspicious death of Ed's brother Henry What police found inside the farmhouse The confirmed victims versus the grave robbing Mary Hogan and the women who resembled his mother The schizophrenia diagnosis and a lifetime in an institution How Gein inspired Norman Bates, Leatherface and Buffalo Bill Whether the story deserves any sympathy at all Resources and Further Reading Ed Gein - Wikipedia Deviant: The Shocking True Story of Ed Gein, the Original ‘Psycho' – by Harold Schechter "Monster, The Ed Gien Story (2025) - Netflix Host & Show InfoHosts: Kyle Risi & Adam CoxIntro Music: Alice in dark WonderlandCommunity & Calls to ActionReview & follow on: Spotify & Apple PodcastsInstagram: @theCompendiumPodcastWebsite: thecompendiumpodcast.comSupport us: Sign up to PatreonShare this episode with a friend!

The Compendium Podcast: An Assembly of Fascinating and Intriguing Things
Princess Diana thought she was marrying into a fairytale. By the honeymoon, she had to send a memo just to have lunch with her own husband. This is Princess Diana before the icon, before the cameras, before the People's Princess the world thought it knew. In Part 1 of our Princess Diana trilogy, we go right back to the beginning: a wealthy but emotionally cold childhood, parents locked in a bitter divorce, and a young Diana Spencer who grew up convinced she was never quite good enough. We follow her into the strangest courtship imaginable, a handful of heavily chaperoned dates with Prince Charles, a royal “audition” she didn't know she was failing or passing, and an engagement agreed after the couple had met barely a dozen times. From the first day, the cracks are there. The press hounds her relentlessly, the palace offers no support, and Camilla Parker Bowles never quite disappears. Behind the gloss of the 1981 royal wedding watched by 750 million people sits a lonely teenager, struggling with bulimia and the slow, dawning realisation that this was never going to be the love story she imagined. A story of family, fame, royal scandals and the human cost of becoming a symbol. This is where it all begins. Part 1 of 3. Topics Include Diana's emotionally cold childhood and her parents' bitter divorce The custody battle and the sense that she was a disappointment Diana's extraordinary, instinctive gift for empathy How Charles and Diana actually met — through her older sister Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles before the marriage The royal “audition” and the search for a suitable bride The whirlwind engagement after barely a dozen meetings The 1981 royal wedding and its hidden tensions Loneliness, bulimia and royal protocol on the honeymoon The discovery that reignited the Camilla affair Resources and Further Reading Diana's childhood and family background - Britannica Diana's struggles with bulimia and mental health - Vogue Diana: Her True Story - In Her Own Words - by Andre Morton The Diana Chronicles - by Tina Brown Host & Show InfoHosts: Kyle Risi & Adam CoxIntro Music: Alice in dark WonderlandCommunity & Calls to ActionReview & follow on: Spotify & Apple PodcastsInstagram: @theCompendiumPodcastWebsite: thecompendiumpodcast.comSupport us: Sign up to PatreonShare this episode with a friend!

"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation." In this episode, we discuss the historical and philosophical origins of the Declaration of Independence. Topics include: -an explanation of the importance of John Locke, natural rights, and natural law -references to the state of nature and the social contract in the Declaration -the right of revolution and the duty of revolution against an unjust government -how the right of revolution applies to enslaved people -Jefferson's intellectual conundrum: how can slavery be allowed to exist when all men are created equal, when all men are created free, and when all men have the right to rebel against a tyrannical government--at least according to natural law theory -reframing the "pursuit of happiness" as the right of the people to abolish a government or to leave a nation in order to form a new one--that is to say, the natural right of expatriation -understanding the Declaration as a pragmatic and practical political document as opposed to an abstract and idealistic philosophical document -grievances #5 and #6 in the Declaration -an explanation of the exclusions of in the Declaration -Jefferson's justifications why Native Americans and enslaved people should not be a part of the new American social contract Prof. Sarson's book can be found here: [The Course of Human Events: The Declaration of Independence and the Historical Origins of the United States](https://www.upress.virginia.edu/title/10151/) The cover image depicts Jefferson in 1786.

Is Robert E. Lee the "gallant Christian knight" of your 4th-grade history textbook, or just a guy who bet his life on the side that kept him lazy and wealthy? In this episode of Elton Reads A Book A Week, we're dissecting Jonathan Horn's The Man Who Would Not Be Washington.We're taking a sledgehammer to the "Lost Cause" myth—that strange, deeply insecure fan-fiction Southern apologists wrote to make treason look like a noble hobby. We look at why Lee, the man who was supposed to be the heir to Washington's legacy, essentially decided to do the exact opposite of everything Washington stood for.We cover:Why the "Lost Cause" is the most successful, least accurate PR campaign in American history.The weirdly intimate obsession Lee had with George Washington's stuff.Why Lee's "tragic choice" in 1861 wasn't just "loyalty to home"—it was a calculated gamble on chattel slavery.The Arlington Memorial Bridge: A bridge literally holding two halves of a country together that refuses to actually stop falling apart.

A new talking point has been unveiled: from Mike Huckabee to Benjamin Netanyahu, the new excitement is how Jews, Israel, and Hebrew-law founded the United States, not Greek and Roman philosophy. The Encyclopedia Judaica, however, informs us otherwise, stating that American Jews primarily supported the Crown for economic reasons. Those supporting the colonies did so for the same reason, to sell provisions and weapons to the troops. They also sold the same to the British. When the British blockaded ports, the Jews became pirates. Jews also served the slave industry significantly, at least because they ran much of the shipping vessels. Jews did not build America, they exploited it for profit via an instinctual greed. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements. If you want an ad-free experience, subscribe below.

Across history, there have been cases so disturbing that even seasoned investigators struggled to understand them. Kids who should have been riding bikes, trading baseball cards, or doing homework were leaving behind crime scenes, terrified communities, and questions that still haunt psychologists and criminologists to this day.

Today, we are going to talk about something deeply unsettling…killers that still had a curfew. But before we get started, I want to give you a heads up.

On the morning of February 9, 1855, residents across Devon, England awoke to a baffling sight. Strange hoof-like footprints stretched through fresh snow for miles, appearing in dozens of towns and villages. According to contemporary reports, the tracks crossed walls, rooftops, frozen rivers, and other obstacles, fueling rumors that the Devil himself had walked the countryside overnight.Nearly 200 years later, the Devil's Footprints remain one of history's most enduring unsolved mysteries.Get Lunatics Merch here.

Did Americans always send their children to public school? Not even close. In this episode of American History Hotline, Bob calls up historian and author Dixie Dillon Lane to explore the surprising history of education in America. From colonial classrooms and the self-taught education of Abigail Adams to the rise of public schools, compulsory education laws, and the modern homeschooling movement, this conversation reveals how Americans have thought about learning for more than 250 years. Why did reformers like Horace Mann champion public schools? How did immigration, industrialization, the Great Depression, and the Cold War transform education? And why are more families today choosing alternatives to traditional public schools? Dixie's book is Skipping School: A History of American Homeschooling and How It Went MainstreamSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
