Cozy History

The Boys are back after a long break! They worked hard, perfecting their craft, honing their skills. Training with monks on mountaintops type of thing. Now they are ready to begin Cozy History 2.0. This first episode looks at a little known aspect of the American Civil War. Follow John Hunt Morgan as he fights (and sleeps) his way across the state of Kentucky. Confederate Viking or honor-obsessed idiot? Maybe both? Dang, it's good to be back.

Part 3 (The Epic Conclusion) of the JFK series is here! Austin leads us through time and space, all the way back to November 22, 1963. To a little town called Dallas. Along the way Austin and Sam discuss the Space Race, the Bay of Pigs, and other Cold War highlights. Enjoy!

Part 2 is here! In this episode, Austin guides us through JFK's exciting WWII career, his road to the White House, and his complicated love life.

The lads are back with a new series! Austin leads us on a rollicking adventure 60 years into the past, where we'll discover the true story of John F. Kennedy. This episode has it all: the Irish Mob, angry chauffeurs, stories about chasing tail. That's only part one! Stay tuned for the rest and enjoy!

The finale of our series on U.S. Grant! Austin and Sam follow Grant's postwar career, from the battlefield to the White House. They uncover his incredible Civil Rights achievements, discuss his fall from grace, and read a few passages from his memoirs. They even uncover a little secret about author Mark Twain. Enjoy!

We're back with a two part series on Ulysses S. Grant!! Hero of the Civil War! Huge family man! Notorious drinker? Maybe. Austin and Sam delve into the fascinating story of one of the USA's most famous war heroes. Seriously... he was considered the best general in the world. Enjoy!

NUTS! Austin and Sam dive into one of WWII's most famous battles. This episode features meth-fueled Nazis, General George Patton, and a lot of references to LOGISTICS. They also discuss an extremely heroic African American tank battalion that has largely been forgotten. Enjoy!

Austin and Sam are back at it after a short break (we tried to join the military but quit when we learned that ancient calvary tactics were no longer in use). Austin delivers a stunning account of Alexander's epic rise and fall. The fellas dive into ancient warfare tactics and equipment, the importance of sexual diplomacy, and ask a question: Could we pay the troops in Blue Chew? Enjoy!

Austin and Sam tackle one of their most difficult topics yet; The Irish Potato Famine. Almost everyone thinks that they know this sad story, but only Austin can leads us through this complex whirlwind of Irish history and British colonialism. How did it all start? Did they really only eat potatoes? Just how bad were the British? (really bad). They also touch on medieval feast days and the amazing solidarity of marginalized peoples. Shoutout to the Choctaw Nation!

Austin and Sam dive into the fascinating life of "the last viking" Harald Hardrada. As a young man, he was forced from his homeland and left adrift in the ancient world. His military skill eventually led him to Constantinople and the Holy Land, where he gained wealth and prestige. Ultimately, his path led to England and the famous Battle of Stamford Bridge. It's hell of a journey. But don't worry, the lads also discuss going back in time to kill Hitler and making a podcast for babies. Is that what this is now? Enjoy.
