  • History Heard Here Season 4 - Episode 9: No Man's Land

    This week on the Season 4 finale, Rachel discusses the Great War AKA World War 1 as we dive into Europe to see what's going on in both the Western and Eastern fronts to show that amidst the war, people were still nice to each other and the teams constantly changed. Also talked about are some of the main battles from the war as we finally wrap up what happened to Russia and the Ottoman empire and how technology created the first modern war. Once the war was over, everything had changed, as the peace treaty didn't really do its job correctly, setting up the next world war and the causes of it.

  • History Heard Here Season 4 - Episode 8: The War to (Not) End All Wars
    *Correction - Bosnia and Serbia are still countries, I just got ahead of myself and was thinking of Czechoslovakia (which does not exist and is now Slovakia and the Czech Republic). This week, Rachel discusses the rise of imperialism and the catalyst of World War One as everyone turns to Africa to make genetic and geography much harder just because of some shiny rocks. Back in Europe, everyone gets a little competitive and starts to make teams and choose sides, teaching you the lesson that if you’re going to declare war, might as well do it loudly.

  • History Heard Here Season 4 - Episode 7: Open Doors and Open Arms

    This week, Rachel discusses the fall of the shogunate AKA the Tokugawa Period as Japan continues to have an emperor (and still does) but decides to give constitutions a try. Also discussed is the start of the fall of the Ottoman empire and we inch closer and closer to WW1 and the 20th century. Japan tries to play nice with others and then decides that it doesn’t want to and instead wants to become a well-oiled machine whereas in the Ottoman empire, they are having a little bit of a loyalty issue.

  • History Heard Here Season 4 - Episode 6: Death of the Dynasties
    This week, Rachel discusses the fall of the Russian empire as well as the fall of the Qing Dynasty and the Chinese dynastic cycle. Corruption is a big theme this week as the only thing that stops the Qing empress from ruling is her death and the Russian people turned against the government and each other. We also talk about the Opium Wars which will continue to push the message of why you don’t do drugs because it could destroy the economy and get one man very angry. As we get closer to the 20th century, the world becomes more unstable and chaotic with old empires finally collapsing.

  • History Heard Here Season 4 - Episode 5: I’ve Been Working on the Railroad
    This week, Rachel discusses the Western Hemisphere once again as we catch up with Canada, the US and Latin and South America now that they’re industrialized which seems to be making everything worse. Tensions are high in Canada, slavery is a hot topic in America and there are way too cowboys in Argentina. People don’t realize that they are in for a surprise in these countries as they migrate from Europe where they realize that industrialization isn’t making life better over there either. History starts to speed up as the world becomes closer and faster.

  • History Heard Here Season 4 - Episode 4: Keep Up With the Times
    This week, Rachel discusses a bunch of random topics as we go from the Russian empire to the rise of nationalism to the start of the Industrial Revolution. In Russia, they continue to prove that the 70s is the best decade (at least when it comes to the 1870s) and that folklore has the power to start revolutions and create new countries. As people come together and rise up, movements are created from other movements and we discuss how society is forever changed when Britain decided to somehow be both very environmentally friendly and also not.

  • History Heard Here Season 4 - Episode 3: July: The Month of Revolutions

    This week, Rachel discusses both the Napoleonic era and the July Revolution to show you that both good and bad things come in small packages. Also in this episode is some good traveling advice on why winter in Russia is never a fun time, and also if people are upset at you, you should probably stop doing the things that are upsetting them and that even in male-dominated places and times, women were always making history.

  • History Heard Here Season 4 - Episode 2: Beggars Can't Be Choosers
    *There will be no more Myth Moment from this episode onward*
    This week, Rachel discusses both the American and French Revolutions and we learn that in the 1700s no one was happy with their monarch and that people have always been cheapskates. You will also hear in this episode how a snowball fight turned deadly but also makes for some great propaganda and that if you're going to be rebellious make sure to still be a nice person and that if you break something, you fix it. Finally, you'll learn that even the founding fathers weren't very good at their job and that while France had a revolution, nothing super revolutionary changed.

  • History Heard Here Season 4 - Episode 1: Oh, How the Tables Have Turned
    This week, Rachel kicks Season 4 off by finally confronting what she's been avoiding since the beginning of the podcast: American History. We discuss life in British colonies and the French and Indian War which would win a prize for the most confusing name except that its other name, isn't even remotely correct. For our myth moment, a new contender can join your list of famous people to have dinner with as he would fit right in with the 21st century with a chill attitude and pro-vegetarian lifestyle.
