History Go Time! episodes
- 2 hr 29 min
- Stuxnet - H4CK T3H PL4N3T!!1!
Here's a Valentine's gift for everyone. One of the bonus shows is now available for all. This is all about Stuxnet, the most amazing computer virus you may not have heard about. You need to be wearing fingerless gloves to get the most out of this show.
48 min - Fine, This Bonus Show Is Free: Fine Cotton
I've been going through some stuff lately, and as part of the healing process I thought I'd do an interstitial bonus show. This is going to be a little bit different, but it should be plenty fun. Here's the unbelievably true story of Fine Cotton.
1 hr 4 min - Hannibal Lecture IV - Delenda Est
We finish up the Hannibal series in one go because Damo went mad. Everything from the fallout of Trebia to Cannae to Hannibal inventing snake bombs to Carthage being wiped out. You may have to hit the pause button a couple of times.
6 hr 1 min - Hannibal Lecture III - Trouble at TrebiaHannibal marches on Rome, it turns out that story takes a while to tell. Due to ADHD there are side stories about ancient sieges and why Roman names are so weird. This is going to be more than one sitting, so be warned.3 hr 19 min
- Hannibal Lecture II - So grab your gun and bring in the cat!This one is eventually about Hamilcar Barca, the Carthaginian John Wick. He comes in at around the 2-hour mark. I've taken your feedback that the Tik Tok generation wants shorter episodes and I have determined that it is the children who are wrong.2 hr 47 min
- Hannibal Lecture I - What do you hear? Nothin’ but the rain!You asked, I delivered. We're going to be heading back into the dreaded continuity with a multi-part series detailing the Punic Wars. This first episode has very little Punic Wars, but it's necessary homework, so I tried to add more spice. This is the Way.1 hr 3 min
- Mr Armageddon Part 2: The Lead MenaceThomas Midgley Jr came close to destroying the world with his invention of CFCs, but we managed to survive. This time he's back to finish the job. Because why have one planet-ending invention when you can have two? Here's the story about how the same guy also invented leaded gasoline and somehow managed to be even deadlier the second time around.1 hr 22 min
- Mr Armageddon Part I: Ozone SlayerIn which we finally learn why 'fridge' has a 'D' in it but 'refrigerator' doesn't. Oh, and quite a bit about the end of the world too, with history's biggest killer - Thomas Midgley Jr.49 min
- The Curse of the Colonel - A Christmas Bonus Show!This was a Patreon exclusive for a while, but it's Christmas! (Or whatever holiday you choose to celebrate. Me, I'm more of a Saturnalia guy, but you do you.)Paranormal curses from the void between stars are surprisingly common in the sport of baseball. This show will explore the spectrum from the relatively benign "Curse of the Bambino" to the downright freaky "Curse of the Colonel". Yes, that Colonel. The chicken guy.38 min
