Lax Historical Context episodes

  • Bonus Episode - Happy Nevada Day!
    In this special holiday episode, Sean and Sasha celebrate the day Nevada became a state, October 31st, 1864! As October 31st is also Halloween (bet you didn't know that!), they tell spooky stories about the nation's 36th state. While doing so, they drink Smoke Wagon Small Batch Straight Bourbon Whiskey, made by Nevada H&C Distilling Co. in Las Vegas.

  • Episode 8 - Duels We Wish Would Have Happened
    In this episode of LHC, Sean and Sasha discuss some historic badasses they wish would have fought some other historic badasses. While discussing these historical-fantasy dream matches, they drink Jeremiah Weed Sarsparilla Whiskey, because Sasha requested something "sassy".
    1 hr 4 min
  • Episode 6 - Justified Turncoats
    In this episode, Sean and Sasha discuss a couple of history's turncoats who were probably in the right for switching sides. While celebrating these backstabbers, they are traitors in their choice of beverage. Instead of whiskey, they drink Hurricane High Gravity Malt Liquor. It's as gross as you assume it is.
    1 hr 9 min
  • Episode 5 - D.W. Griffith's "Abraham Lincoln" (1930)
    In this episode, Sasha and Sean watch and comment on the 1930 film "Abraham Lincoln" directed by D.W. Griffith. Yes...that D.W. Griffith. While watching, they drink Laird's Applejack, a semi-appropriate beverage considering the subject. Be sure to offer feedback, this is an experimental episode, and depending on reception, this may be attempted again.
    1 hr 39 min
  • Episode 4 - Stupid Wars
    In this episode, Sasha and Sean discuss a few of the dumber conflicts to have ever taken place. While face-palming their way through these tales, they indulge in Mellow Corn.
    53 min
  • Episode 3 - ALIENS!
    In this episode, Sean and Sasha jump the shark early in their run and discuss events and people that were probably (but definitely not) aliens. While presenting these baseless assertions, they drink Dewar's White Label.
    44 min
  • Episode 1 - Origins (or, Why We Love History)
    In this first episode of Lax Historical Context, Sasha talks about the president that made her love history and Sean discusses the movie he hates so much that it made him love history. While talking, they "enjoy" the spicy Dickel (not a euphemism).

About Lax Historical Context

From the publisher's feed

Welcome to Lax Historical Context! Sasha and Sean are two jovial nerds who decided to take their love of whiskey and history and see if anyone wanted to listen to them drink the former and talk about the latter. Each episode features them reviewing a different drink accompanying a random, usually unrelated topic that is at least vaguely historical in nature. Sometimes full of hot air, sometimes offensive, and often both at the same time, Lax Historical Context is the history podcast for people who don’t take life too seriously.
