What is Your Favorite History podcast?
History podcasts were my best friends during the long hours of labwork for my PhD. Here are some of podcasts I would highly recommend. 1. Hardcore history by Dan Carlin: I am sure this is on the list of a lot of people who are into history podcast...
What was the first podcast ever?
First, the spectacular display in Kansas City between the Chiefs and Bills, and what the Mahomes-Josh Allen rivalry means for the near- to medium-future of the NFL. On Buffalo’s late-game inefficiencies, but also how the two quarterbacks and Tyreek Hill ...

World War II in the Pacific
As we embark on Season 4, I’d like to invite you to follow along using the maps included down below. Sadly it is difficult to edit the actual “show notes” page for each episode, so I’ll place all important maps here. As we go along this will be updated to include more maps, and perhaps images.
The red pill on Palestine and Israel
It’s confession time for me. I’ve not really followed what is going on, and has been going on, between the State of Israel and the Palestinians. If I’m totally honest, it always seemed a bit far away and complicated. Then, when I did take an interest (after 9/11) I, embarrassingly, bought the story being peddled by the U.S. media.
The Gulf War of 1991
I had a run in with a “twitterstorian” on Saturday, and let me tell you, it was shocking. Well, not really. This 23 year old “historian” was spouting the same neocon imperialist drivel about the 1991 Gulf War as you’d expect to hear from George W. Bush circa 2003.
Season 4 writing has begun
So far I’m done with six episodes. Those were fairly quickly written, as I’d read enough to make it easy to do, plus I’ve lectured on things included there, such as the Meiji restoration. Now the heavy lifting so to speak has begun.
Season 4 is on the horizon
And it’s gonna be awesome, if I do say so myself. So far I have about 56 episodes planned, but I’m sure that number will grow as we move from the planning stage to the actual writing.
The Great Depression
As season 3 continues to progress, we are getting ever so close to finally talking about the Great Depression. I’m quite excited about this part of the season, as some of the greatest myths of American history, ones that endure down to today, deal with the Depression.
Is it safe to come out yet?
Wow, 2020 is the year that keeps on giving. Historians in the future will have a field day with this year. I really have given up trying to figure out 2020 and I’m just riding the wave of insanity hoping to make it to 2021 in one piece.

Secretary of War Edwin Stanton takes control, determined to bring the assassin to justice—but the hunt for John Wilkes Booth isn’t all that grips Stanton.

The Western Design was England’s disastrous attempt to conquer Spanish America, starting with Hispaniola, Cuba, Puerto Rico and Cartagena.

Jamaica quickly became England’s bloodiest colony, and much of that blood came from Irish victims of transportation.
