Send us Fan MailAhead of the Museum Open Day on Saturday 12th September, Col Andy Taylor and Rev Paul Roberts meet in the museum to look at items recently donated or acquired for the museum.They begin with a First World War brass bugle issued to the Herefordshire Regiment's Supplementary Company - made up of old Territorial soldiers who were too old to fight overseas.  Our pair examine the role of the Supplementary Company including guarding German civil internees on the Isle of Man.Two new weapons have been acquired from the Royal Air Force Museum's reserve collection and will be on show in our museum cases for our open day.  The advantages and disadvantages of the Mark II Sten gun are discussed.  This weapon was used widely during the Second World War by British and Commonwealth units as well as by resistance fighters on the continent.  Men of the Herefordshire Regiment used this weapon in the liberation of North-West Europe in 1944 and 1945; unfortunately with the result of several casualties within the regiment itself.The Stirling sub-machine gun, the Sten's successor is also examined and finds its place in our post-war display case.  Often issued to tank crews, radio operators and others working in confined spaces, it was popular on exercise as it was much lighter than the  L1A1 Self Loading Rifle to carry, even if it was far less accurate!Finally, inside a pig skin case is a platoon "bible" compiled by Second Lieutenant Geoffrey Poppleton Lloyd, a Leominster solicitor, listing all the men in his platoon that he took to Gallipoli in July 1915.  There are fascinating details, including everything from hat size to home addresses, pay and allowances.  Our pair discuss the important role pastoral role played by platoon officers and Lloyd's wartime career - being evacuated from both Gallipoli and later Egypt and his attachment to the 1st Battalion, Kings Shropshire Light Infantry (KSLI).  He was captured by German forces on the first day of the Spring Offensive in March 1918, along with Andy and Paul's ancestor Charles Percy Taylor.If you are around on 12th September and would like to visit the museum, call along to Suvla Barracks, Harold Street, Hereford, HR1 2QX.  We are open as part of the National Heritage Open Day Scheme on Saturday 12 September from 1030hrs until 1500hrs .Support the showIf you like what you hear, don't forget to like and subscribe to help us reach a wider audience.

In early 1965, three executives boarded a plane in Japan, bound for the United States. “Unbeknownst to the U.S. Customs, they were carrying corporate secrets. Each man had carefully placed two vials of an isomerase enzyme into their pockets before the flight.” With it, they would change the world. For after two arduous years of nearly aerobic chemical engineering, their corporation produced what it called Isomerose 30. We know it, or its technically improved successors, as corn syrup.That's how my guest Brian Leech begins his intricate, multi-valenced history of what went on in Clinton, Iowa, from the 1960s through the 1980s. It's food history, it's labor history, it's technological history, it's environmental history, it's regional history—“and not any single one of them, which is to say,” to quote the great Edmund Morgan, “that it is good history.”

For generations, many 2SLGBTQ+ stories were left out of history books, archives, and classrooms, raising questions about whose experiences are preserved and whose are forgotten.

Then, Windsor teacher Chris Rabideau explains how a local project is preserving 2SLGBTQ+ stories from the community, one story at a time, and why documenting these experiences matters for future generations.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us Fan MailPut off by the excessive heat, Col Andy and Rev Paul decide to stay indoors for this episode and explore the interesting and little known history and evolution of the Allied Victory Medal for the First World War.  There are many in the collection of the Herefordshire Regimental Museum and due to the sad incidence of melting down the silver British War Medal in the past and present day, this is now the most common surviving medal awarded to UK and Commonwealth personnel for the Great War.Paul and Andy share a rare account of the original meeting at the Versailles Peace Conference where representatives of the 15 Allied and Associated Powers met to discuss a joint medal.  And the work of Dr Dick Flory who proved that there were two different issues of the medal to UK and recipients - the well known "type 2" and the lesser known and illusive "type 1."  With their usual mixture of wit, insight and rabbit holes our intrepid pair explore this often overlooked medal - how people qualified for it, differences across awarding nations as diverse as Cuba, Siam (modern-day Thailand) and Japan, its enduring appeal to medal collectors and importance to families and historians alike.Support the showIf you like what you hear, don't forget to like and subscribe to help us reach a wider audience.

Feliks Banel's guest on this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY is John R. Dichtl, President & CEO of the American Association for State and Local History. On April 16, 2026, the American Association for State and Local History (AASLH) announced the History & Democracy Initiative (HDI), an effort to help mobilize museums and historical societies to play a more intentional and robust role in putting history to work to strengthen democracy. These groups already do much along these lines and have for decades, AASLH says, but the opportunity – and the need - has presented itself to do more, and to do so in a more deliberate and visible way. “Now, more than ever, there is an urgent need to leverage the vital role our field plays in democracy and expand its impact,” says an AASLH press release. “HDI will provide inspiration, guidance, and connection from within and beyond the history community to help repair and fortify American civic life.” In this conversation, AASLH President & CEO John Dichtl candidly characterizes the challenges of the cultural and political landscape that many in the history field now face, and describes the opportunities presented by this particular moment in American history. The program will formally launch with the History & Democracy Virtual Summit, May 27-28, 2026. CASCADE OF HISTORY spoke with John R. Dichtl on Friday, April 17, 2026.

Dr. Elizabeth DeWolfe joins us by phone from Maine to discuss her book Alias Agnes: The Notorious Tale of a Guilded Age Spy with David. Alias Agnes is a narrative non-fiction exploring the role of Jane Armstrong Tucker, alias Agnes Parker, and her undercover role in the lawsuit brought by Madeleine Pollard against William C. P. Breckinridge. David and Dr. DeWolfe discuss the backgrounds of both women, how they differed, the results of the trial and how they went about their lives when the trial was over. Alias Agnes details the story of Jane Tucker, who took a job as an undercover detective with a ten-week mission. Her target: Madeleine Pollard, former mistress of Congressman William C. P. Breckinridge, whom she had sued for breach of promise when he failed to marry her. Exploring the intricacies of this trial and a scandal that captivated the nation, author Elizabeth A. DeWolfe demonstrates that a shared lack of power did not always lead to alliances among women. DeWolfe uncovers the strategies women used to make their way in the world, drawing parallels between the previously forgotten and incomplete tales of Tucker, Pollard, and the women who testified in the trial—from formerly enslaved persons, to white socialites, to single government clerks, to divorced physicians.Alias Agnes is available for checkout from the library, and for purchase from your favorite bookstore.

Over 4000 anthropologists have descended on New Orleans for the American Anthropological Association's annual meeting. They're here to share their latest research, professionally develop and do a little networking. Their theme is Ghosts, thanks to New Orleans' reputation as “the most haunted city in America.” Anthropologist and host of the podcast Sonic Anthropology Radio, Tom Miller, joins us with more. Each week, award-winning columnist Tammy C. Barney publishes a column in “Back in the Day,” a series from Verite News. She explores often-overlooked chapters in Louisiana history, including profiles on historical figures and deep dives into the state's French and Spanish colonial history. Barney joins us now for more on her column with a historical bent, and her long and accomplished career in journalism. If preparations for your Thanksgiving dinner involve making reservations, reporter on food and lifestyle for the Times Picayune/The Advocate, Ian McNulty, has some advice. He joins us today with insights on dining out during the holidays.—Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Bob Pavlovich. Our managing producer is Alana Schreiber.
