"Well behaved women seldom make history" Laurel Thatcher  The theme above can be heard throughout the conversation in this episode. I got the chance to sit down with one of my favorite history podcast hosts, Alycia from Civis and Coffee, and discuss a woman who immigrated to the US and took up the fight for her fellow immigrant women in the textile industry. Clara was feisty, strong and consistent throughout her life. Come join us and hear her story and more! Cheers.

Why Whiskey?

Clara Lemlich: Activist, Socialist, Bad Ass - with Alycia from Civics and Coffee Podcast

Welcome back, nerds. Today we will focus all of our attention and energy on jumping from airplanes and not dying. The item that will make that a reality was invented a very long time ago on distant shores. Although the war against gravity has yet to be won, parachutes do help to slow down the gruesome effects that can come from that weird pull to earth. I am joined by skydiver, history dude, and former Marine (yea I know, this show cost me like four boxes of crayons) to talk about the history of parachutes, the history of skydiving, and the folks who work hard to keep us safe at the USPA. Listen to know what that acronym means!  Sources: https://www.google.com/books/edition/Medieval_Religion_and_Technology/quCh9tAW1jcC?q=veranzio&gbpv=0#f=false https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/an-early-history-of-the-parachute-951312/ http://www.parachutehistory.com/eng/drs.html https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/6672/james-floyd-smith https://www.cspa.ca/en/node/228 https://skydivingmuseum.org/hall-of-fame/inductee/william-%E2%80%9Cbill%E2%80%9D-ottley Articles: Stable URL: http://www.jstor.com/stable/2776964 Parachuting (Gideon Aran) Stable URL: https://www.jstor.org/stable/41222414 Plunging to Earth: ONCE THE SPORT OF DAREDEVILS, SKYDIVING NOW OFFERS ITS EXISTENTIAL THRILLS TO GRANDMOTHERS, PUDGY GEEKS, AND EVEN THE OCCASIONAL COLLEGE PROFESSOR (Rob Zaretsky) --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/why-whiskey/support

Skydiving bro... A little chat about the history of Parachutes and Skydiving with Randy Connell

We are back Nerds!! Sorry for the break, I was not in any headspace to record. However, that is in the rearview and I am coming at you with a great conversation with a very special guest. 1SG(R) Justin Crawford spent over 20 years serving the nation in the Army. 15 of those years were spent as a soldier in the elite units of Special Forces. During our chat Justin and I will talk about the history of Special Forces, the process to become one, and if Hollywood gets it right when depicting these soldiers. This is a long one... so grab some drinks, buckle in and enjoy my conversation with a warrior and American Hero. Cheers.

The Bottled in Bond Act of 1897

On this episode of Why Whiskey I am solo and drinking scotch! I also take a break from the booze to talk about the War of 1812 or the second war with England. I discuss what caused it, where it happened, how it happened, and who won... if there was a winner. This war was the conflict that saw the US get invaded and our nation's Capitol burned to the ground. It also inspired the writing of our national anthem. Come join me as I drink Balvenie and Lagavulin 16 and chat about a lesser-known fight. Cheers.

A short History of the US Navy - with Heath and Jamie Britt from the E14 Podcast

On this EP of Why Whiskey, I am solo and talking about the National Anthem of the United States of America. Written by Francis Scott Key in 1814, while on a British naval vessel, Key would witness the bombing of Fort McHenry and the beautiful flag that was waving over the fort despite the incredible firepower that was raining down on it. Since that time, the poem turned song had a bumpy ride through the country until being accepted officially as the National Anthem in 1931. Join me and sip some whiskey as we explore the song The Star-Spangled Banner.  Sources: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/wheres-debate-francis-scott-keys-slave-holding-legacy-180959550/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_historical_national_anthems https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/francis-scott-key-the-reluctant-patriot-180937178/ https://www.history.com/topics/19th-century/the-star-spangled-banner https://www.jstor.org/stable/40067621 https://www.jstor.org/stable/273347 https://www.jstor.org/stable/29781735 --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/why-whiskey/support

A brief history on the Star Spangled Banner

BUCKLE IN FOLKS! THIS IS A LONG ONE! On this episode of Why Whiskey I am joined by my local tin hat manufacturer Jesse as we explore another government conspiracy. This one is much more fact than conspiracy though and reads like a science fiction novel. In the last days of World War II, the US and its allies made drastic moves to locate and secure German Tech, science, and the scientists responsible. The Cold War warm-up was happening and the US was 20 years behind the curve. The Project called Overcast would evolve into OP Paperclip and would lead to the hiring of Nazi scientists for government programs. In a story with so many twists and turns, we are drinking some strong booze this evening. Weller Full Proof, Nikka from the Barrel, and Lismore are on the menu. Come join us!!

Steve is the author of the Small Brand America series, the Bourbon Mixology series, and has written numerous other works in and around travel and drinking.

I got the chance to sit down with the owner, CEO, and Master Barrel Smasher (see video in link below) of Broken Barrel Whiskey Company for a couple of drinks and chat about his products, his history, the history of the company, and what Infused Spirits has to offer. We sipped the California Oak, the Heresy Rye, the Barrel Proof, two of the single oak series - Isle of Peat and Amontillado, and the newest offering from the company and the funkiest whiskey I have ever tasted, the Fen Walker. The Fen is something I encourage ALL of you to get out and try as it will play with your head in the best way! With extensive time visiting distilleries, on his way to nearly 150, Seth has had the chance to find the best product, distillery, and team to create his "unapologetically authentic" lineup.
