The 13th amendment, the top hat, and the getting shot in a crowded theater. What more can we say about "Honest Abe"? Quite a bit actually! There's some odd family stuff, something about a cow, and Lin-Manuel Miranda conspiracies? You know what? History is weird...

Ep. 40 Abraham Lincoln

In the state of Oklahoma, in the city of Tulsa, the African American community prospered until one little mistake... one accident occurred which led to violence against the community. The attacks were horrific and swift. The entire community crumbled. This is one of, if not THE most violent race riot in the history of the United States. This is the Tulsa Race Massacre.

Ep 39. Black Wallstreet AKA The Tulsa Race Massacre

We're back from our surprise break. We didn't want to post during the height of the Black Lives Matter Movement and protests so as to not detract from their meaning. But now as coverage begins to die down the fight isn't over. This episode is a look at the inherent racism that founded the country and the hypocrisy that runs rampant through it. Maybe if we come together and educate ourselves on these topics we can make a difference. This is just one way to help.

Ep. 38 Slavery Never Ended. It Changed.

We all know a little bit about Teddy Roosevelt, but how much is that in the grand scheme of his vast reach. How big was his impact really? Does anyone really know. Well we have an idea which is why we are doing this episode. 

Ep. 37 Teddy MF'in Roosevelt

There has been quite a few issues with feminism being misconstrued in the media and in political life. This is an amendment brought up quite some time ago that was supposed to give equal opportunity to men and women. Join us and we will tell you why feminism is still a fought over topic to this day.

Ep. 36 The Equal Rights Ammendment

History repeats itself every single day. Sometimes it shouldn't. A lot of the time it shouldn't. Now more than ever we need to learn from mistakes of the past to create a better future. The Flu Pandemic of 1918 mirrors our current situation in many ways, so let's use it as an example and learn from it lest history repeat itself again.

Ep. 35 The Flu Pandemic of 1918

A man seen as a Robin Hood-esque character is brought to light and shown that he is not as romantic as his story implies. A murderer, thief, and gang leader. This infamous highwayman committed many terrible acts and should not be made into a romantic hero anymore.

Ep. 34 Dick Turpin

This Taco Tuesday is Cinco de Mayo. But why do we celebrate it in the US? Isn't it the Mexican Independence Day? No the heck it's not, ya dummy. It's the celebration of the battle of Puebla. Join us and find out why it's worth celebrating.

Cinco de Mayo Especial

The day that will live on in infamy is a horrible thing. But did it really go down the way the history books say or are we missing pieces. Join us as Megan uncovers some omitted facts and statements of what had actually happened leading up to and on that day. Also we get a little political... a lot political. TLDR: Hyper-nationalism is bad.

Ep. 33 Pearl Harbor

Once again we get introspective and look at more dumb stuff our nation has done and allowed ourselves to happen and get away with... Well I wouldn't say get away with entirely because this man was brought to justice after ruining many lives and trying to tear the nation apart in his greed, ambition, and lust for power. Join us and Special Guest Trevor ans we discuss not the first, but the Second Red Scare.

Ep. 32 The Second Red Scare

Today we talk about how stupid people are and how dumb they can get when they both have and don't have alcohol. Join us for this wild tale of stupidity, religion, alcohol dependency, withdrawal, criminality and also the origins of the temperance movement that led to the 18th amendment.

Ep. 31 Prohibition in America

Today's episode is going to be rough one. This is a necessary episode digging up one of the darker secrets in recent American history. This is something that must be discussed and cannot be forgiven. During WWII the US government gathered and isolated the Japanese citizens of the country into internment camps under horrific conditions. So if you are looking for a lighthearted episode this is not one of them.

Ep. 30 Japanese Internment Camps

Special guest, business major, and Megan's older brother Alex joins us to tell us about the egregious actions made by the company known as ENRON. This is a long and technical episode but by god this is an important piece of American history. Simply because we should use ENRON as an example of what not to do. So buckle up, this is a wild ride.

Ep 29. ENRON

Fighting for what you believe in will bring its critics and opposition, these powerful women stood up for their rights and facing immense hardships, alienation, threats of physical violence and blatant attacks on them by others and negligence by the police. Not only police refusing to protecting them from assault but abusing them in the prison system... after arresting them and holding them for literally no reason. There is a lot to digest here, but a lot to learn.

Ep. 28 The Night of Terror

With the Corona virus currently afflicting the world we decided to talk about a woman who's careless actions killed 3 known people and infected at least 50 others. Her actions first unknowing and then knowingly hurt a lot of people. Don't be like Mary. Wash your hands. Practice good hygiene.

Ep. 27 Typhoid Mary Mallon

Join Honors Histroy graduate Megan Tobias and history enthusiast Jason Reinertsen as they delve into moments of art, love, war, genocide, and much more in under 30 minutes!
