133 - The Birth of Rock n' Roll, Part 2

132 - The Birth of Rock 'n Roll
Episode 132 - The Birth of Rock ’n’ RollYes, that intro was the song Subdivisions, by Rush. My normal intro music is an acoustic clip of that same song. One of my all time favorite rock 'n roll…
131 - The Cold War, Part 2

127 - The Holocaust and the Rebirth of the Nation of Israel
Ok, WWII is over, and so I’m done talking about famous battles and cool fighter planes for a while. But I do feel that I need to go back and talk about a really important and horrific story of WWII,…

123 - D-Day
Well, here we are. This episode is about one of the most massive, high-risk and pivotal events of the last 100 years. Seriously, if you had to pick one day that was the most important or…
122 - The Air War over Europe
As the Soviets were fighting the Germans all along a 1000 mile long front, they were demanding that the Allies in the west do something to open a second front against the Germans. We’ll get to the…

118 - Tora, Tora, Tora!

116 - Winston Churchill and the Battle of Britain
I’m going to make a quick confession to you here: The Battle of Britain is one of my three favorite parts of all of human history. The other two would be the Roman Empire at the time of Jesus, and…

114 - Blitzkrieg! The Germans Invade Poland
Ok, here we are, poised right on the edge of World War II. I’m going to try to not bog down as much as I did on the US Civil War, but I still have 9 episodes planned to cover World War II. Is that…
