  • History Heard Here Season 5 - Episode 9: The Past, the Present, and the Future

    This week, Rachel discusses the early 2000s, the 2010s, the present, and the future on the last episode of History Heard Here. We'll talk about some hopeful things like more elections around the world, a rover with a cute nickname, water being discovered on Mars, and the inevitable end of the universe as we know it. Our relationship with religion changes as the world becomes more secular due to more bad things happening or at least we're seeing them all due to the Internet. There are still revolutions, mainly in the Middle East, as education becomes an important issue and the question of will humanity ever learn its lesson, continues to be unanswered.

  • History Heard Here Season 5 - Episode 8: Take a Chill Pill!

    This week, Rachel discusses the 1990s as countries that were part of the USSR gain independence and the Internet is in full swing. You'll learn that we still don't know which wave of feminism we're in, how Latin and South America are actually more feminist, and that the Spice Girls should never be undermined. New technology is created as the biggest websites of today are created while we talk about the most important parts of this decade: Pokemon and Titantic and we head into the 21st century.

  • History Heard Here Season 5 - Episode 7: Totally Tubular

    This week, Rachel discusses the 1980s as the Cold War finally comes to an end with no one even winning. Eastern European countries are finally free (as well as Canada but that's unrelated) as most people agree that there was no point for the war in general. We talk about Reagan's presidency which is filled with assassination attempts, strikes concerning underrated people, and the economy continuing to not make anything better. Natural disasters happen but the world generally cares more about the newest Nintendo game, MTV, and how gorgeous Rob Lowe is.

  • History Heard Here Season 5 - Episode 6: What’s the Skinny?

    This week, Rachel discusses the 1970s and how it's worse than we remember as phrases have dark origins and something dark in the universe is discovered. The Vietnam war ends and violence increase in the Middle East and you'll learn that cults are not the solution to that. Oil becomes an issue as people start to care about the planet and we realize that we might be the problem. Other problems are presidents turning out not to be good and French being controversial. But at least Queen exists.

  • History Heard Here Season 5 - Episode 5: What a Bummer
    This week, Rachel discusses the 1960s and how Cuba cannot catch a break. People learn about the Vietnam War and then suddenly change their minds and the Bay of Pigs earns it spot in top 10 of history’s disasters. Camelot rises and falls with the JFK administration as people go against the grain in all aspects of life through the Chicano Movement, feminism, and Motown.

  • History Heard Here Season 5 - Episode 4: Crusin' for a Brusin'

    This week, Rachel discusses the 1950s and why they might be overrated since apparently even after a world war, people still don't want peace. Wars that don't really seem to end are started and the US and the USSR use them as an excuse to fight against each other and since they can't get enough of each other they take it out of this world. Pop culture explodes as movie stars somehow become more famous, rock-and-roll comes to the mainstream, even more, countries become independent, and an assassination attempt happens that no one talks about. Germany is divided as parts of it own up and others completely ignore their past while the idea that teens are people too is finally being listened to.

  • History Heard Here Season 5 - Episode 3: Only Thing to Fear is Fear Itself

    *Content Warning: The Holocaust is talked about during this episode and so matters related to that and anti-semitism will be mentioned. If you'd like to skip past that, visit the show notes on the website to see when to skip to.

    This week, Rachel discusses the Holocaust and the immediate aftermath of World War 2 as this episode will definitely go up in the top ten of least fun episodes list. You will learn though how dumb the origins of association that pink is for girls and blue is for boys, the fact that people don't really like it when you don't trust them, and why continuing to talk about the Holocaust is still so important.

  • History Heard Here Season 5 - Episode 2: Loose Lips Might Sink Ships

    This week, Rachel discusses World War 2 from start to finish which unlike World War 1, seems much more worldly with battles happening across Europe, Africa, and the Pacific. Poland slowly becomes not-Poland as Germany and the Soviet Union take parts of it and you'll learn that if you invade a place, most people don't want you in their club that promotes peace. America joins the fight after Japan makes a splash and it leads to the US being very busy for the next 4 years and changing from "neutral" to "definitely not neutral". New powers come in place and we'll talk about how the world tries to return to normal

  • History Heard Here Season 5 - Episode 1: (Market) Crash and Burn

    This week, Rachel discusses the 1920s, 30s, and the lead-up to World War 2 with a decade that seems great and another that doesn't. In the 1920s we see how people have reacted and recovered from World War 1 by being pretty modern like getting really into music, cutting their hair, and buy a lot of stuff. In the background, dictators around the world start to rise as more countries become independent. The decade ends with a crash as the Great Depression sends a ripple effect around the world and we are firmly in the 30s. Governments try to fix and create new problems as some in Europe start to not serve the people. People are still killing important people after Franz Ferdinand and the Olympics is probably the event no one was looking forward to. We'll also hear some of the best and worst nicknames for each decade and people continue to write depressing poetry.
