You'll learn how penicillin was discovered by accident and how its development was helped along by a moldy cantaloupe from a Peoria, Illinois farmers market. I'll also uncover how it went on to act as a secret weapon, helping the allied forces to victory during World War II. Plus I'm going to get real personal to share the tell all story of why my husband is physically disabled and suffering from chronic pain at the age of 35 from taking a particular type of antibiotic. This is not easy to share, but I need to warn you.

The History Things Podcast St. Patrick's Day special is covering a heavy topic this year, the Easter Rising of 1916. Erupting in the midst of World War One, the Irish bid for independence was well planned and initially well executed. The British response however was fast and brutal. To cover this Pat and Matt are joined by fellow ranger Anthony Trusso to discuss the details of the uprising, the major players involved, the response and the surprising results. So grab a drink, grab a friend and join us as diving into the Emerald Isle's bid for independence in 1916!Intro music: “The Foggy Dew” by The Young DublinersThe History Things Podcast is brought to you by HistoryNet, publisher of 9 different historical magazines including; the Civil War Times, American History, & Military History!

Building off their first of the year topic, Pat and Matt got the chance to discuss the most famous soldiers of Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, the coal miners of the 48 Pennsylvania Infantry! To help flesh out the history of this well known and documented regiment is fellow ranger, John Hoptak.John and Matt go way back, having both previously worked at Antietam National Battlefield and Pat was fortunate to attend several of John's programs while he was there. Throughout the years however the 48th Pennsylvania has been a passion project for John, not only on the battlefields of the National Park Service, but also in his personal research and writing. This is a fantastic discussion that covers all aspects of the regiment and the men that made up its ranks. It also wouldn't be a talk on the 48th Pennsylvania without covering it's most famous digging operation during the Siege of Petersburg and the tragedy that followed their success.The History Things Podcast is brought to you by HistoryNet, publisher of 9 different historical magazines including; the Civil War Times, American History, & Military History!

What better way to kick off Season Five than by getting down into the weeds on some regional history!? This month the guys are speaking to Jake Wynn about the proud, but controversial history of Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania and the Coal Miners strike that occured there during the Civil War.For those who have spent some time with the Civil War, Schuylkill County is likely a Pennsylvania County you have heard of before. Famous for its coal mines and miners, the county was torn between trying to put men in the field and keep coal coming up out of the ground. This led to resentment and then outright resistance by the miners themselves.

This seasons Black Friday Bonus Episode has the boys hacking through the wilderness of western Maryland and Pennsylvania with some rather unusual companions. The Braddock Expedition of 1755 and the disaster of the Battle of the Monongahela, fought July 9, 1755 is fairly well known in this part of the world, but what was completely unknown to us was the presence of sailors on the expedition as well.To talk about this Pat and Matt have brought in their friend Kyle Dalton, formally of the National Museum of Civil War Medicine and now the Director of the Historic Union Mills Homestead, to speak on one of his passions, the Wooden World, naval history in the 18th Century. Kyle has dug deep into who the sailors were on the expedition, what they did during the march and what happened to them during and after the battle.So if you are braving the Black Friday shopping or just hunkering down for a post Thanksgiving nap, turn it up and join us as we learn about Braddock's Tars!The History Things Podcast is brought to you by HistoryNet, publisher of 9 different historical magazines including; the Civil War Times, American History, & Military History!

Sarah gives the guys the lowdown on her research and her changing view of Lizzie as she wrote her book, "The Borden Murders: Lizzie Borden and the Trial of the Century".

As a follow up to the summer discussion with Melissa Winn about the important relationship between Ulysses S. Grant and his Chief of Staff John Rawlings, the guys have brought Melissa back to look at the specifics of the Vicksburg Campaign and how these men coordinated that operation. Rawlings continued to be the support Grant needed to protect him from his own vice's during the Campaign, as well as defend him from political threats. Rawlings connections to powerful political figures, as well as his ability to bring those sent from Washington specifically to spy on Grant, into the fold did much to keep the future General-in-Chief in the good graces of Washington.  Lincoln famously said that, "I can not spare this man, he fights", now find out about the professional and personal friendship that helped make this fighter possible.The History Things Podcast is brought to you by HistoryNet, publisher of 9 different historical magazines including; the Civil War Times, American History, & Military History!

Just days after British troops captured New York City from General Washington and his army in September 1776, fire broke out, destroying a fifth of the city. The British blamed rebels who had remained hidden in Manhattan, but Washington, who had been ordered by Congress to leave the city standing on his retreat, never claimed responsibility, though he complained that the blaze hadn't caused more destruction. So who did start the fire and why? Joining me this week to discuss the New York fire and the question of who started it is Dr. Benjamin Carp, Professor and Daniel M. Lyons Chair of History at Brooklyn College, and author of The Great New York Fire of 1776: A Lost Story of the American Revolution.  Our theme song is Frogs Legs Rag, composed by James Scott and performed by Kevin MacLeod, licensed under Creative Commons.

Heading into the summer, Pat and Matt are joined by Melissa Winn, the now former Director of Photography Research for HistoryNet. Melissa provides the guys with details on a man who is often overlooked by history and was overshadowed by his boss during the American Civil War, John A. Rawlins, aide-de-camp of Ulysses S. Grant himself. Rawlins, a prewar friend of Grant's, was an influential lawyer and democrat in Galena, Illinois prior to the war. Upon the outbreak of hostilities he famously declared that, "there were no parties anymore" and that he would enlist to fight for the Union. In August 1861 Rawlins was asked to join Grant's staff and was promoted to Captain. In this position he looked after the General, keeping on him about his pledge of temperance and keeping away many who would distract or tempt Grant. Join us as we learn more about this fascinating man, how he kept Grant on the straight and narrow and what happened to him as the war dragged on. What are your thoughts on John Rawlins?

Germany's most famous fighter pilot, Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen (aka ‘The Red Baron') was shot down near the Somme River on the Western Front, on 21st April 1918. He had been credited with an incredible 80 air combat victories during World War I.  Originally a cavalryman, Richthofen transferred to the Imperial Air Service and downed 15 enemy planes by the end of 1916. He then headed up his own regiment, using a Fokker triplane painted entirely red; his unit becoming known as the ‘Flying Circus' because of their brightly-coloured planes. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain why even the Allies liked Richthofen; reveal why the Baron stopped printing up souvenir silverware for each of his kills; and consider the fate of the Broadway musical inspired by his heroism…  Further Reading: • ‘History of Government: They seek him here… the life and death of the Red Baron' (UK Government blog, 2018): https://history.blog.gov.uk/2018/04/20/they-seek-him-here-the-life-and-death-of-the-red-baron/ • ‘Ace for the Ages: World War I Fighter Pilot Manfred von Richthofen' (HistoryNet, 2006): https://www.historynet.com/red-baron-world-war-i-ace-fighter-pilot-manfred-von-richthofen/?f • ‘The Red Baron & The Flying Circus in full HD at 1080p' (Historical Aviation Film Unit, 2013): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4lDB7lXFOg #Germany #War #1910s We'll be back on Monday - unless you join

Author and journalist Michael Dolan joins Tim to tell the story of the American front porch. He's the editor of American History magazine and the author of a book entitled, “The American Porch: An informal history of an informal place.” In this episode, he talks about how the front porch shaped life in America for well over 200 years. You could say that when it comes to our homes, the front porch was the original social media. This encore episode was originally released May 24, 2021. https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/shapingopinion/Encore_-_Americas_Front_Porch.mp3 It's probably something you may not think about much, even if you have one on your home and you walk across it a few times every day. The front porch. But did you ever wonder what your life would be like if you didn't have one? Or, on the other hand, if you are one of millions of Americans who don't have a front porch, did you ever wonder what your life would be like if you did have one? It's not an understatement to say that in neighborhoods with front porches, the social dynamics between and among neighbors are different than they are in neighborhoods without them. And most certainly those same social dynamics are different today, than they were many years ago, when it was just assumed your home would have a front porch, and that would be the place you would spend your time between your private world and the public world. Michael Dolan is the editor of American History Magazine and the author of the book, “The American Porch.” Links The American Porch, by Michael Dolan (Amazon) American History Magazine, Historynet.com The Front Porch Campaign, American Heritage Magazine About this Episode's Guest Michael Dolan Michael Dolan is a writer, editor, and musician. He lives in Washington, DC, his hometown. Besides editing American History  magazine, he consults on book manuscripts and documentary television programs, most recently one about wildlife along the Canadian/American border. His articles have run in Smithsonian, The New Republic, The New Yorker, Outside, and The New York Times Magazine, among others. His 1987 Washington City Paper story about Judge Robert Bork's video rentals caused a furor leading Congress to enact the federal Video Privacy Protection Act of 1988. Between 1983 and 1995, he and his wife renovated a 1920s-era bungalow in a DC neighborhood near the Potomac River. The final step of that process replaced a careworn front porch with one that he designed. The results of that project inspired his 2002 book, The American Porch: An Informal History of an Informal Place. Dolan's porch occasionally is the scene of rehearsals by his band, The Powerful House Ways & Means Committee.

Sevastopol, THE siege of the Crimean War and the focus of much of the mythology surrounding the conflict. Sevastopol became not only a strategic point important to both sides during the war, but a symbol of the war itself. The Russians looked to capitalize on a successful defense of the port city, while the Allies on forcing it's capitulation and opening said port to their fleets.The Siege was also the sight of the use of new and fantastic technologies, as well as terrible suffering. All of this punctuated by miles of entrenching, a valiant defense and desperate assaults. Once the end came however, what happened next? Was the war over? If not, what did it gain?

Welcome to Episode 18! (This is an updated episode, we needed to fix some language which was harmful and update this episode. It is not “new” but our platform has “re-released” it at the top of our episode feed. Apologies for any confusion!) In this week's episode, KT kicks it off with a story about Tecumseh, who was a Chief for the Shawnee tribe that fought against white expansion onto Indigenous lands in what is present day United States.  A fierce warrior with both weapon and word, Tecumseh was celebrated as a leader who was able to bring tribes together for a common goal.   Afterwards, Laurel has a story for all the horse girls (and other horse lovers) out there!  During World War II, the Nazis had hoarded all the most precious horses from around Europe, chiefly the Lippizaner breed from Austria, in a breeding experiment to try to create the perfect horse.  As the Third Reich crumbled and Soviet forces moved in, the horses were in danger of being killed and eaten.  In an effort to save these horses, both Germans and Americans had to team up to save them in what was known as Operation Cowboy. *~*~*~*~*~*~ Mentioned in the Stories: The Spanish Riding School in Vienna Valegro's Farewell Dressage Performance *~*~*~*~*~*~ The Socials!

Welcome to Episode 18! (This is an updated episode, we needed to fix some language which was harmful and update this episode. It is not “new” but our platform has “re-released” it at the top of our episode feed. Apologies for any confusion!)

Henry Blair, the only inventor ever denoted as a ‘colored man' in the records of US Patent Office, received a patent for his invention of a mechanical corn planter on 14th October, 1834. For decades, it was believed this was the first example of an African-American inventor receiving a US patent. The truth turns out to be more complex, and is touched by the legacy of slavery, legal reform, and black activism… but Thomas Jennings, the inventor of ‘dry scouring' (an early instance of dry cleaning) registered his patent thirteen years earlier and is, probably, the true holder of the title. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly look back over some of the most useful inventions contributed by American people of colour; explain why the rules over enslaved people's intellectual property were so vague and unreliable; and reveal what it looked like when Thomas Jefferson fobs you off… Content Warning: racism, negative depictions and/or mistreatment of people or cultures Further Reading: • ‘Inventor Henry Blair and His Patents' (ThoughtCo, 2019): https://www.thoughtco.com/inventor-henry-blair-1991284 • ‘Whose Patent is It?: American Patent Law Denies Slave Creativity' (HistoryNet, 2017): https://www.historynet.com/whose-patent-is-it-american-patent-law-denies-slave-creativity/ • ‘Awesome Inventions by African Americans' (SciShow, 2012): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56AwEjXzh-U We'll be back on Monday - unless you join 

In the summer of 1881, a heavy thunderstorm caused a flash flood in the Des Moines River valley of central Iowa, in the midwestern United States. The flood caused a small railway trestle bridge to weaken, which in turn caused a steam locomotive to plunge into Honey Creek - killing two of the crew and stranding the rest in the still-rising water. So begins one of the most remarkable rescue efforts in the history of American railways. On this episode, we're talking bridges, bad luck, Victorian poetry, and the remarkable tenacity of an Iowa teenager.

Summary Seth Abramovitch (Twitter; LinkedIn) joins Andrew (Twitter; LinkedIn) to discuss the British war-hero who spied on behalf of the Japanese during Hollywood's Golden Age. This is a story-and-a-half, by jingo!  What You'll Learn Intelligence How a British war-hero became a spy for the other side Japanese espionage in Tinseltown  How the story involves Boris Karloff, Charlie Chaplin and Yoko Ono's father  The spy ring's activities before and after Pearl Harbor Reflections Playing the game for yourself vs. for a country or a cause Hubris & Nemesis  And much, much more… Episode Notes Squadron Leader Frederick Rutland, AM, DSC and Bar, was the first person to fly a seaplane from a ship in history. He was also the first man to spot the German fleet from his seaplane, thereby precipitating the largest naval battle of the First World War, the Battle of Jutland.  After leaving the military because of indiscretions with a fellow officer's wife, Rutland tries to live an ordinary vanilla life, but still craves his action-packed days of old…ultimately, he is approached by the Japanese to teach aviation and to spy on their behalf, which leads him to relocate to LA during the Golden Age of Hollywood.  To discuss this doozy of a story, I am joined by Seth Abramovitch from the Hollywood Reporter – i.e., the definitive interpretive voice of the entertainment industry – where he has worked for ten years.  And… There are some incredible Hollywood movies from the interwar period, capturing some of the tension and suspicion of the era, as well as the faint drumbeat of approaching war. Hitchcock alone had, The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934), The 39 Steps (1935), Sabotage (1936), and Foreign Correspondent (1940). Major stars of the era such as Marlene Dietrich, Great Garbo, and Madelaine Carroll helped solidify the spy genre with movies such as Dishonored (1931), Mata Hari (1931), and I Was a Spy (1933). Don't forget Fritz Lang's Spione (1928), which has been called a, “marvel of narrative economy in montage.”  Quote of the Week "At the very bottom of the list, it would be any kind of allegiance to any flag, because he's quick to offer to turn on Japan when push comes to shove at the very end of the whole story. I don't think he was doing it for any kind of nationalism or political, viewpoint. I think if anything he was apolitical." – Seth Abramovitch.

By Yareli Aguilar. British Literature is a critical aspect that is very important to the human being and its surroundings. Not only is it a topic or even a book you can read, but it is a therapeutic experience that has made an impact throughout the years. The reason why I chose the question of why British Literature is important is because British literature identifies women as an acceptance of men's oppression. I feel that women have more potential than just being under the skirt of any man. I decided to do research by not only analyzing stories that we have read in class, but a topic that is very important to me is Nursing. Although women have rights fortunately in today's time, women tend to be stereotyped as Nurses while men are stereotyped as men. The realization that the existence of stereotyping still exists even to this day is what is the reason why British Literature has a bigger picture to see. I discovered that British literature has not only saved lives, but it has also taught us how love and marriage have changed throughout history. In conclusion, British literature has more to it than just reading a book or even words, it is actually to learn and improve so that history does not repeat in the society we live in today.

In the spring of 1874, a plague of locusts descended on the American Midwest in a swarm so vast it blocked the sky for miles before it settled down and beginning to eat...everything. Farmers and homesteaders fought back with blankets, coal tar, and fire, with exactly zero success. By the first frost that autumn, an estimated 120 billion Rocky Mountain Locusts had destroyed hundreds of thousands of square miles of farmland. On this episode, we're talking grasshoppers vs. locusts, high-protein snacks, an anti-locust fungus, disaster relief, and some pretty incredible hopping muscles.

Die Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts ist eine Zeit der großen Veränderungen. Wissenschaft und Forschung lassen zuvor Unmögliches plötzlich in greifbare Nähe rücken und die Menschen sind fasziniert von Fortschritt und Technik. In dieser Zeit stellt sich die Frage, ob der Tod wirklich eine unüberbrückbare Grenze ist. 1862 scheint ein findiger Fotograf hierfür die Antwort liefern zu können. Schwarz auf weiß und für alle sichtbar, scheinen sich die Toten auf William Mumlers Fotographien zu zeigen.

Spiritualism was the belief that the spirits of the dead are not only able to communicate with us, but are eager to share their wisdom with the living world.  Spiritualism flourished at a time when Mesmerism was a growing interest on the heels of The Second Great Awakening. This was a fifty year period of religious revivalism, and a curious populace were seeking answers amid the confusion of the day.  The Spiritualism movement has given us modern-style seances and stage mediumship; it's what popularized commercial fortune telling. The term “seance” itself (introduced into the language sometime between 1795 and 1805) merely means a “sitting”, though the spiritual concept is older. George, First Baron Lyttleton, famously featured discussion with the deceased in his  1760's work of fiction, Dialogues of the Dead. Seances have been divided into four categories: religious, stage mediumship, leader-assisted, and informal social seances. Although, all of the proceedings are considered a part of the spiritualism movement. The Fox sisters are credited with launching the movement, but its origins stretch back further than that. Emmanuel Swedenborg, who lived more than a century earlier, experienced a divine revelation in which he learned that communication with the spirit world and with God is possible through a certain mental state. He felt that the body was simply a vessel for the soul, and that Hell and Heaven will attempt to influence mortals to do good or evil, though the mortal in question is free to choose their path as they wish. According to Swedenborg's beliefs, the path to Heaven or Hell is forged by your actions in life. These ideas would eventually lead to the formation of the New Church and the Swedenborgian Church in North America.  The other oft-credited influence on the spiritualism movement is Franz Mesmer, the founder of “animal magnetism” or mesmerism (more commonly known as hypnotism in the modern day). The original concept went far beyond simply putting someone into a trance –Mesmer believed animal magnetism could hold the cure for powerful healing; the trancework was only a small part of his theories. The concept of going into a trance, however, would be a tremendous influence in coming years for the spiritualism movement. The women known as “the Fox Sisters” are three of the seven Fox children: the youngest two were the core of the Fox Sisters: youngest daughter Catherine “Kate” Fox and her slightly older sister Margaretta (“Maggie”). When everything began, Kate and Maggie were in their early teens and their eldest sister, Leah, was an adult in her own home. Leah would eventually ‘manage' the girls, though not tour with them, and was really only a part of the action for a handful of years.  The girls would later say that they began this whole thing as a prank played on their credulous mother. That is certainly consistent with the evidence we have of the early days of mysterious rappings and knockings. In early 1848, the Fox family began to hear mysterious sounds in their house in Hydesville, New York.  The noises seemed to resemble footsteps or someone knocking. On March 31, 1848, Kate decided to try to “communicate” with it. They called the entity “Mr. Splitfoot,” and it frightened their mother terribly. Maggie took pity on her mother and tried to explain that it was meant as an April Fool's joke, but her mother would not believe it. The girls continued the “communication” in the home over weeks and months. Eventually, the family told their neighbours of these mysterious happenings, who told other people in turn, as neighbours do. It didn't take long before there was a hubbub surrounding the Fox household. In the following year, 1849, the girls were sent to Rochester, New York, to live with their siblings, to try to escape both the haunting and the attention of the curious. Despite this, the phenomenon followed them to their new homes. Leah supported their reputation as mediums, and introduced them to her friends, the Posts. Amy and Isaac Post were luminaries in the local mesmerism movement. They wanted to explore the girls' abilities and invited the Fox sisters to a small party in their home. The Posts planned to conduct a seance with the girls as part of the evening. The party and seance were successful, and it was here that the spirits conveniently mentioned that Leah also possessed the gift. The party was in fact such a success that the Posts rented a large room in Corinthian Hall and the Fox sisters showcased their abilities there.  The girls began holding regular seances for pay in New York, which were incredibly popular. Among the people attracted by these seances: were journalist and newspaper editor  William Cullen Bryant and abolitionist and women's rights activist Sojourner Truth.  Andrew Jackson Davis, known as the “Poughkeepsie Seer”, was impressed by the girls' abilities and lent them his support, and therefore credibility, as they became more and more well-known. With this traction, Maggie and Kate embarked on a tour of these shows in the area, while Leah stayed behind and worked as a medium in her own right. In 1851, Fox family member Mrs. Norman Culver confessed to being aware of the fraud, which was disclosed to her by Kate. This impacted their popularity very little, though critics began to guess at various ways that these girls could be perpetrating a hoax. Mrs. Culver alleged, and several critics correctly guessed, that the raps were produced by the girls “cracking” joints in their feet and knees. The spiritualism movement was entirely unaffected by the criticism of the Fox sisters, and both they and spiritualism continued to become more and more popular. The following year after Ms. Culver's confession, 17 year old Maggie met skeptic and Arctic explorer Elisha Kane (a-lai-sha).  Kane fell deeply in love with Maggie despite his beliefs that she was a fraud. Under his influence, she began to drift away from the spiritualist movement. Tragically Kane died in 1857, just shortly after a small informal wedding ceremony. Though the two considered themselves married, they allegedly lacked an actual marriage certificate. The actual legal status of Elisha and Maggie's marriage was unclear, the confusion around which resulted in Maggie being ousted from the will by Kane's family members. Perhaps related to Maggie's exclusion from the will, later that same year, the youngest two Fox sisters made an attempt at a prize offered by the Boston Courier to anyone who could prove the legitimacy of mediumship. The reward equaled $500 (roughly $14,150 in modern day American currency). On the whole, aside from this attempt, Maggie continued to reject spiritualism as she fell further and further into poverty. Kate continued on alone with her mediumship during this period, and  in 1871 moved to England to pursue spiritualist opportunities there. The following year, she married fellow spiritualist HD Jencken. They had two sons, and a seemingly happy life until Jencken died in 1881.  Each grieving deeply, both Maggie and Kate had begun to self-medicate with alcohol. By 1888, both women had become alcoholics. Leah, continuing to operate as a medium herself, grew concerned with Kate's alcoholism and her ability to care for her two sons. Word of this spread, and Kate's two sons were briefly taken from her, though restored to her care after intercession by Maggie. Maggie was already out of the spiritualism movement and had been for some time, and Kate was livid that her abilities as a mother had been questioned. Thus, on the 21st of October in 1888, perhaps partially in revenge against Leah, perhaps partially out of financial desperation, Kate and Maggie came forward.  The two were paid $1500 (roughly 41,000 USD today) by a reporter to confess their crime at the New York Academy of Music in front of 2,000 people. They also made a number of anti-spiritualist statements during this period, with Kate calling it “one of the greatest curses that the world has ever known.” In November of the following year, Maggie recanted her confession.  This was due to her own financial needs as a result of having drunk away her confession fee, and growing pressure from other spiritualists. Maggie attempted to practice spiritualism once again for whatever meagre work she could get, but  her reputation both as a spiritualist and as a skeptic was ruined in one fell swoop. She would spend her few remaining years in poverty, as would Kate. Leah predeceased Maggie and Kate, having died in 1890, not on speaking terms with either sister. The youngest two Fox sisters died within a year of one another in Brooklyn, New York (Maggie on the 8th of March in 1893 and Kate on the 3rd of July in 1892).  The Fox Sisters left us very little writing. Maggie did not publish her own work, but she did publish the love letters written to her by her husband, entitled The Love Life of Dr. Kane, giving us a small window into their lives. Leah published a book called The Missing Link in Modern Spiritualism, in which she outlined her career as a medium. Spiritualism continued on after the passing of the Fox sisters, and continues to this day. People still hold seances very similar to the Fox sisters', and people continue to occasionally hear rappings they attribute to the spirit world (correctly or otherwise). One only needs to look at virtually any television listing to find an assortment of ghost-hunting shows; and one can find a psychic willing to give you a reading in virtually any modern-day town. Bookshelves in your local bookstore are filled with books on finding your own psychic gifts, and many famous names have been associated with spiritualism: Arthur Conan Doyle, The Bangs sisters, Mina Crandon, Leonora Piper, and Harry Houdini (the latter admittedly as an enemy of spiritualism). As an odd sort of afternote, to the excitement of those who still believed in the legitimacy of the sisters, in 1904 it was said that a “body” had been discovered in the house that the girls had lived in, where they had claimed to be in contact with the spirit of a murdered peddler. No record has ever been found of the peddler they'd described, and the bones, of which there were only a few, turned out upon examination to be animal bones.

September 8, 1900 the day of the Great Storm.  The worst natural disaster to ever hit the US and our third edition in our six part hurricane season specials. This episode comes with a trigger warning.  This storm was a mass casualty event and some of the events that took place afterwards were equally horrific.  I mention in the podcast about the Hymn "Queen of the Waves" it can be heard during the telling about the lost orphanage.video links https://youtu.be/lhFgF4L97zEhttps://youtu.be/8c_OeFacRQwCitations The 1900 Storm: Tragedy and Triumph.

In 1962 a thin wire cord snaps aboard an ocean liner and whips across the deck bisecting the passengers and crew. Fast forward 40 years and Julianna Margulies goes in to...wait, hold on. That's just the plot to the movie Ghost Ship. This week we look into a WW2 era ghost BLIMP. Where did the crew go? Was foul play afoot? Were ALIENS involved?!?! We ask those questions and some that are even less relevant as we investigate the mystery of the Ghost Blimp this week. Plus, Andy and Art from Mr. Bunker's Conspiracy Time Podcast join in on the shenanigans, the fellas discuss the pros and cons of eating at a Ponderosa, and John finally earns that "shill check" he's been working on. All of that and more on the podcast that's never seen a blimp crash, but we watch a certain podcast do it on a weekly basis - Hysteria 51.

Author and journalist Michael Dolan joins Tim to tell the story of the American front porch. He’s the editor of American History magazine and the author of a book entitled, “The American Porch: An informal history of an informal place.” In this episode, he talks about how the front porch shaped life in America for well over 200 years. You could say that when it comes to our homes, the front porch was the original social media. https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/shapingopinion/Front_Porch_auphonic.mp3 It’s probably something you may not think about much, even if you have one on your home and you walk across it a few times every day. The front porch. But did you ever wonder what your life would be like if you didn’t have one? Or, on the other hand, if you are one of millions of Americans who don’t have a front porch, did you ever wonder what your life would be like if you did have one? It’s not an understatement to say that in neighborhoods with front porches, the social dynamics between and among neighbors are different than they are in neighborhoods without them. And most certainly those same social dynamics are different today, than they were many years ago, when it was just assumed your home would have a front porch, and that would be the place you would spend your time between your private world and the public world.

Besides editing American History  magazine, he consults on book manuscripts and documentary television programs, most recently one about wildlife along the Canadian/American border. His articles have run in Smithsonian, The New Republic, The New Yorker, Outside, and The New York Times Magazine, among others. His 1987 Washington City Paper story about Judge Robert Bork’s video rentals caused a furor leading Congress to enact the federal Video Privacy Protection Act of 1988. Between 1983 and 1995, he and his wife renovated a 1920s-era bungalow in a DC neighborhood near the Potomac River. The final step of that process replaced a careworn front porch with one that he designed. The results of that project inspired his 2002 book, The American Porch: An Informal History of an Informal Place.

The Vietnamese Boat People were a series of refugees that fled Communist Vietnam in a mass exodus occurring in 1954, and again from 1975-1992. In 1954, the Northern Vietnamese fled to Southern Vietnam to escape the corrupt and violent Viet Minh regime. Under the Viet Minh, anyone deemed an enemy was prosecuted under the full extent of the law: this included Catholics, intellectuals, landowners, and generally anyone that disobeyed the regime.
