The Wild West has been the subject of much mythologizing in American culture. But for all the fantasy, at least one figure was real: the gunfighter.

Every June, many of us pause to honor the fathers in our lives—the ones who taught us how to change a tire, tied our fishing lines, and maybe even showed us how to be brave in the quietest of ways. But for all the neckties and backyard barbecues, few people know the full story of how Father's Day came to be. The holiday didn't spring up as easily as Mother's Day, nor was it without its share of controversy, setbacks, and surprising twists. The roots of Father's Day reach deep into early 20th-century America—and they begin not with a celebration, but with a tragedy...

"How can I be two continents at once?""We are the most documented people on Earth.""They erased our memory... but it's not gone — we just need to activate it." In this powerful episode of Revolutionary Hour, cultural restorer and ancestral researcher Sosa Bread exposes the hidden truths behind America's racial classifications — and reveals how the terms “Black” and “African American” have been used to disconnect us from our true Indigenous American roots. Rooted in ancestral forensics, this interview dives deep into genealogy, history, blood memory, and the lies that have shaped public perception of crime, identity, and origin. Sosa breaks down how copper-colored Americans were reclassified and disconnected from their inheritance — and how reclaiming your family tree can lead to personal and cultural liberation. Whether you're on a truth-seeking journey, reclaiming your heritage, or just starting to question everything — this episode is a must-listen.

Too Many Options? The Real History of Freedom and Choice with Sophia Rosenfeld The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series QUOTE:    "Our choices shape our identity—but not everyone gets the same menu." – Sophia Rosenfeld ⚖️ Welcome to The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Interview Series. I'm Paul Vogelzang, and today, we're asking a question that touches every part of our lives—one that feels especially relevant to those of us 50 and older, navigating life's later chapters with purpose, curiosity, and maybe... a little decision fatigue. What if the very thing we've been told defines our freedom—our ability to choose—is actually overwhelming us? Our guest today, renowned historian Smithsonian Associate Sophia Rosenfeld, asks that very question in her brilliant new book available at Apple Books, The Age of Choice: A History of Freedom in Modern Life. Smithsonian Assocaite Sophia Rosenfeld will be appearing at Smithsonian Associates coming up. Please check out our show notes for more details on her presentation titled: A History of Freedom in Modern Life: The Age of Choice. But we have Sophia Rosenfeld today who'll tell us that from grocery aisles to voting booths, from personal belief to political identity, Rosenfeld takes us on a riveting tour of how we came to equate picking from a menu with liberty itself—and what that belief has cost us. This is no abstract academic exercise. For those of us who've lived through decades of cultural shifts—from the rise of consumer culture to the women's movement to the explosion of digital options—this story feels personal. Why does having more choices so often lead to more anxiety, not more joy? What happens when freedom starts to feel like pressure? Smithsonian Associate Sophia Rosenfeld, chair of the history department at the University of Pennsylvania, brings rich detail, warmth, and sharp insight to this conversation. We'll talk about dance cards and department stores, ballots and beliefs, and how something as simple as choosing your lunch became a reflection of who you are. So, whether you're rethinking your next big decision—or just what kind of toothpaste to buy—this is a conversation you won't want to miss. I'm Paul Vogelzang, and this is The Not Old Better Show. Let's get into it. In a time when everyday life feels saturated with decisions—what to buy, how to vote, who to trust—The Age of Choice reminds us that more options don't always mean more freedom. Sophia Rosenfeld's powerful insight reframes modern liberty, challenging us to rethink how choice shapes our lives, values, and collective future. That's it for today's conversation—fascinating, right? My thanks to  Smithsonian Assocaite Sophia Rosenfeld who will be appearing at Smithsonian Associates coming up. Please check out our show notes for more details on her presentation titled: A History of Freedom in Modern Life: The Age of Choice. Smithsonian Associate Sophia Rosenfeld has taken us from 18th-century shopping stalls to modern-day ballots and browsers, showing us that freedom isn't just about choosing... it's about understanding why we choose, how we choose, and who shapes the options we're given. For those of us over 50, this episode hits home. We've lived through eras where choice expanded dramatically—and now, we're often the ones making the biggest decisions of our lives: retirement, caregiving, health, even where to call home. Rosenfeld's insight is a powerful reminder that freedom isn't about endless options—it's about meaningful ones. You can listen to this episode and so many more at NotOld-Better.com, where our entire archive is available for streaming anytime. Follow us on social media—we're on Twitter at @notoldbetter and Instagram at notoldbetter—and let us know how you define freedom in a world full of choices. This is a production of N.O.B.S. Studios, and I'm your host, Paul Vogelzang. Thanks for spending time with us today, and please—join me again next time.

From "Bloody Sunday" to Modern Activism: Civil Rights Leaders Reflect on LegacyThis show is made possible thanks our members! To become a sustaining member go to https://LauraFlanders.org/donate   Thank you for your continued support!Description: 60 years ago in Selma, Alabama, state troopers beat peaceful protesters bloody on the Edmund Pettus Bridge as they marched for civil rights. The horror of “Bloody Sunday” and the resilience of the Civil Rights Movement ultimately led to the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act and many of the landmark achievements that are now directly under attack. As civil rights activists look to history to understand — and prepare for — the present, Laura walks the Bridge and talks with, among others, Sheyann Webb Christburg, who marched at the age of eight, Black Voters Matter co-founders LaTosha Brown and Clifford Albright; law professor and author Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw and Maya Wiley, President and CEO of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights. What does people power look like today? Plus, a commentary from Laura on name calling then and now.“We're not going to phone bank our way out of this. We're not going to text our way out of this. And in truth, we're not even going to vote our way out of this . . . It's going to take revisiting some of the same strategies that we saw here in Selma, in terms of nonviolent civil disobedience and direct action.” - Clifford Albright“When we see and hear and think about fascism, we think about anti-democratic movements in Europe. We think about the Holocaust . . . But for Black people, as Langston Hughes said, you don't have to explain to us what fascism is. We experienced it. That is what we were fighting, for the 60, 70 years after Reconstruction was overthrown.” - Kimberlé CrenshawGuests:• Clifford Albright: Co-Founder & Executive Director, Black Voters Matter• Willard and Kiba Armstead: Veteran & Spouse• Trayvon Bossa: Sigma Chapter Member, Miles College Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity• LaTosha Brown: Co-Founder, Black Voters Matter• Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw: Co-Founder & Executive Director, African American Policy Forum; Host of the Intersectionality Matters!

Pastor Heath Lambert addresses whether the Book of Genesis should be understood as actual history. Drawing from his current sermon series through Genesis at First Baptist, he explains why Genesis should be read as historical narrative rather than myth or allegory.Key Points- Genesis presents itself as historical narrative from beginning to end- The text provides no markers to separate myth from history- Jesus referenced Adam and Eve as historical figures (Matthew 19:4-6)- The apostles, including Paul, treated Genesis events as historical fact- Extraordinary events at creation would naturally have extraordinary tellings- The challenge isn't the text's credibility, but our tendency toward independent thinking over biblical thinkingQuestions for future episodes?

They talk about the life of MLK Jr. and his new book "The Spirit of Justice: True Stories of Faith, Race, and Resistance". Next, John welcomes back the National Affairs correspondent for the Nation, John Nichols. They mull over Trump's first day in office and the chaos that will ensue. And then finally, comedian Rhonda Hansome returns to joke with the crew about Trump, GOP politics, and MLK.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

For over a century Mexico has been embroiled in a drug war dictated by the demands of their neighbor to the north. In The Dope: The Real History of the Mexican Drug Trade (W. W. Norton, 2021), Benjamin T. Smith offers a history of the trade and its effects upon the people of Mexico. As he reveals, at the start of the 20th century drugs such as marijuana and opium were largely on the margins of Mexican society, used mainly by soldiers, prisoners, and immigrants. The association of marijuana with a bohemian subculture in the early 1920s prompted the first punitive laws against it, while the use of opium by Chinese immigrants led Mexican officials to target the drug as a means to arrest the country's Chinese population. Yet the drug trade thrived thanks to the growing demand for marijuana and heroin in the United States. In response, American officials pressured their Mexican counterparts to end drug production and distribution in their country, even to the point of ending the effort to provide heroin in a regulated way for the country's relatively small population of heroin addicts. Yet these efforts often foundered on the economic factors involved, with many government officials protecting the trade either for personal profit or for the financial benefits the trade provided to their states. This trade only grew in the postwar era, as the explosion of drug use in the 1960s and the crackdown on the European heroin trade made Mexico an increasingly important supplier of narcotics to the United States. The vast profits to be made from this changed the nature of the trade from small-scale family-managed operations to much more complex organizations that increasingly employed violence to ensure their share of it. As Smith details, the consequences of this have proven enormously detrimental both to the Mexican state and to the Mexican people. Learn more about your ad choices.

For over a century Mexico has been embroiled in a drug war dictated by the demands of their neighbor to the north. In The Dope: The Real History of the Mexican Drug Trade (W. W. Norton, 2021), Benjamin T. Smith offers a history of the trade and its effects upon the people of Mexico. As he reveals, at the start of the 20th century drugs such as marijuana and opium were largely on the margins of Mexican society, used mainly by soldiers, prisoners, and immigrants. The association of marijuana with a bohemian subculture in the early 1920s prompted the first punitive laws against it, while the use of opium by Chinese immigrants led Mexican officials to target the drug as a means to arrest the country's Chinese population. Yet the drug trade thrived thanks to the growing demand for marijuana and heroin in the United States. In response, American officials pressured their Mexican counterparts to end drug production and distribution in their country, even to the point of ending the effort to provide heroin in a regulated way for the country's relatively small population of heroin addicts. Yet these efforts often foundered on the economic factors involved, with many government officials protecting the trade either for personal profit or for the financial benefits the trade provided to their states. This trade only grew in the postwar era, as the explosion of drug use in the 1960s and the crackdown on the European heroin trade made Mexico an increasingly important supplier of narcotics to the United States. The vast profits to be made from this changed the nature of the trade from small-scale family-managed operations to much more complex organizations that increasingly employed violence to ensure their share of it. As Smith details, the consequences of this have proven enormously detrimental both to the Mexican state and to the Mexican people. Learn more about your ad choices.

Today, I want to talk about something that's been heavy on my heart: the importance of holding onto Real History as it's unfolding, not just to understand today but to avoid repeating mistakes tomorrow. Lately, I have felt anxious about the world we're building and the future we're leaving for our kids. When I look at what's happening, I can't help but think about the role models I want my son to emulate. It's not just about those leaders at the highest levels. We can be leaders even if we don't have the title. It's about us, each of us, stepping up, being those role models, and showing that we can lead with both empathy and strength.Let's keep leading with empathy. To access the episode transcript, please search for the episode title at www.TheEmpathyEdge.comKey Takeaways:The best leaders have the humility to recognize their flaws and understand that the best, most effective decisions come from inviting expert voices that aren't their own so they can get a clearer picture of both risks and opportunities.Use the upcoming leadership of the US to teach your children what kind of leader not to be.Kindness, inclusion, and integrity are qualities worth pursuing—not just in others, but in ourselves. "We can be leaders if we don't have the title but some people, even if promoted to the title, even if elected to the title, will never be true leaders.." — Maria RossFrom Our Partner:SparkEffect partners with organizations to unlock the full potential of their greatestasset: their people.

Send us a textThe REAL History of Nicaea You Never Knew.In an era of doctrinal confusion and church scandals, many believers are questioning the very foundation of Christian faith. Can the Nicene Creed offer clarity and stability?In this episode, we dive deep into the history and significance of the Nicene Creed, established at the Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D., which has served as a cornerstone of Christian belief for centuries. We'll unpack its core affirmations about God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, exploring how it provides a resilient framework for faith amid modern challenges.But why was the Council of Nicaea so pivotal? Is there biblical support for such councils, or do they risk adding human error to Scripture's sufficiency? Together, we'll examine biblical precedents, such as the early church gatherings in Acts 11 and 15, and look at how councils like Nicaea sought to safeguard Christian doctrine and address critical issues facing the church.From Constantine's political influence to Arius's divisive teachings, we'll trace how the debates and decisions of the Nicene bishops shaped the bedrock of Christian orthodoxy. Join us as we explore the timeless relevance of the Nicene Creed, discovering how it can strengthen and steady us through personal and collective crises of faith.✨Episode Sponsored by Logos Bible Software - The all new Logos is now easier to use and more accessible than ever with monthly plans starting at $9.99.

In the recent Halloween episode #168 of History That Doesn't Suck, we uncovered the undead story of the 1922 classic vampire film Nosferatu. While the movie isn't a scene-for-scene lift from author Bram Stoker's 1897 novel, Dracula, it's close enough that Bram Stoker's widow, Florence, sued the filmmakers for copyright infringement. In that episode we also explored Dracula. So today, we thought it'd be fun to introduce a new podcast that tells the whole story of the book that launched an entire genre. What you're about to hear is from the new Wondery Plus podcast, The Real History of Dracula hosted by Professor Jackson's friend Lindsay Graham. The series reveals how author Bram Stoker raided ancient folklore and exploited Victorian fears around sex, science and religion. And how even today, we remain in thrall to his strange creatures of the night.

This is the thirty-first installment in Eric's series entitled Spiritual Lessons from the Times of Nero. In this episode he dives into the real recorded history of Rome, Judea, and the Church during this period between 64 and 70 AD and then matches it with Christ's Olivet Discourse and the Book of Revelation. It is an awe-inspiring fit. No matter your persuasion toward eschatology (the study of the End), it is always complimentary to the development of healthy conclusions to know what has actually transpired in history.

Political and cultural critic Thomas Frank joins host Whitney Terrell to discuss how Democrats and Republicans courted voters from the Midwest and South at their respective conventions. Frank gives reports from the floors of both the Republican and Democratic national conventions, which he attended. He analyzes the efforts that the Trump-Vance and Harris-Walz tickets have made to attract union and working class, “red state” votes. He also reads a passage from his famed 2004 book What's the Matter with Kansas on the origin of the terms “red state” and “blue state” and discusses the surprising staying power, and fundamental absurdity, of these categories.
