  • Ep. 541 James Devereux
    Dec 24 2024

    Happy Hanukkah, dear listeners! And I guess Christmas too or whatever. Anyways, we have a fun treat for you today, James Devereux. Who despite having a name like a Confederate general, was a dude who found himself on the right side of history. Starting with being in charge of the defense of a little known island in the Pacific that may or may not have had some impact on the war effort. And he pissed off the Japanese something fierce, which I'm always a fan of. Then he did a couple things after the war. So get ready for the full story, and enjoy!

  • Ep. 540 Jack Hinson
    Dec 17 2024

    Today we have a truly rare find for you, dear listeners. A Confederate that doesn't suck! Well, completely anyways. You see, Jack Hinson was just a simple man who wanted to run his farm in peace. I mean, sure, maybe his farm was a massive sprawl with slaves...Ok, he still sucked. But anyways, he wasn't allowed to just be a farmer, so he picked up his rifle and started putting notches in the wood. Enjoy!

    Well hello again, dear listeners. I hope you're ready for another nightmarish tale of tragedy from World War 2 era Poland, cuz that's what we're talking about today. Harry Haft was a survivor. And he survived literal hell. But it turns out when you go through those kind of experiences, well, they can have a bit of a lasting effect on you. Just look into those eyes, you can tell.

  • Ep. 536 Willis Augustus Lee
    Nov 19 2024

    Now don't let appearances fool you, dear listeners. Willis Augustus Lee may look like a huge nerd, but he was a real hellraiser as a kid and a big ol' swinging dick on the sea as an adult. Dude did a lot of great shit, and when his country needed him to fuck up some Japs on the ocean, well that is exactly what this man did, playing a significant role in a very significant battle in the process. Let the American pride wash over you, even if you're from somewhere else, and enjoy!

  • Ep. 535 Rubin "Hurricane" Carter
    Nov 12 2024

    We're back with another uplifting tale for you dear listeners! Just kidding. While Rubin "Hurricane" Carter did quite a few bad things in his life, he also did some dope stuff. But none of that matters because his life got shoved pretty far off the rails and out of his control, and it didn't go great. Sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel is just a train about to run your ass over. Or maybe it's a happy ending. Only way to find out is to listen to the episode. Enjoy!

  • Ep. 534 Tadeusz Kosciuszko
    Nov 5 2024

    Welcome back, dear listeners. Today we're going back to the only Revolution that matters, America's. And we're talking about a badass Polish dude who decided to throw in with our lot. Tadeusz Kosciuszko may have an awful, garbage name, but the man kicked some major ass. And he helped knock dumb English dicks into the dirt, so he's alright in our book. Then he went on to do even more badass shit across Europe, so there's something for people from very country. Except England. You get nothing. Enjoy!
