Manifest Destiny

THE FABLED LIVE SHOWS BEGIN… we join you from an undisclosed (yet highly discoverable) location and learn of a complicated abortion provider named Inez Burns and take it to the brink with the Cuban Missile Crisis!

We’re back and talking the birth of drag and the former slave/Sagittarius (?) king William Dorsey Swann. Next we spill the tea on the Boston Tea Party! Sorry about that pun and shout out to our Dark Lord Steve Jobs for making this episode possible!

In our most anticipated (?) episode to date, we find out about the American Plan, the government’s (incredibly messed up) plan to protect innocent men from feminine wiles. Next, we close out Pride month and Gemini season with the life of veteran, Broadway producer, politician, and gay icon Harvey Milk. We’re having such a good time!

Buckle up for Bleeding Kansas, the craziest lil’ Civil War you’ve never heard of. Next, we continue our Pride Month celebration with an in-depth look at the history of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell!

In this week’s episode, the podcast experiences its very first coup as special guest Gibson waltzes into our hearts with the many versions of the 1969 Stonewall Riots. We also learn about Thomas Jefferson’s slave and mother of 6(!) of his children, Sally Hemings. We also discuss Manifest Destiny’s eventual global domination (the podcast, not the ideology) and hot girl summer.

Season 3 is upon us and the air is ELECTRIC! We catch up about astrology, candy corn, life in general, and get absolutely hype about exploring more of the history of this great nation. We are gearing up for some seriously unhinged internet research so give us a listen and send your requests!!

In this GLORIOUS SEASON 2 FINALE we both reflect and look ahead, much like our great nation. We learn about Onesimus, the brilliant slave that invented inoculation and remained an atheist while being owned by the world’s craziest New England preacher. Next we learn about how daddy FDR calmed an anxious nation during the Great Depression and World War II with some cute lil’ fireside chats. Enjoy!

Wow! A lot gets covered in this extra long, extra tipsy episode. Our conspiracy-theorist-in-chief breaks down the original American conspiracy- ROANOKE! We continue Women’s History Month with Harriet Tubman... you think you know, but you have no idea. We also provide a spirited defense of Caroline Calloway and formally ask her for a guest ID on Spanish Florida. Enjoy!

Your hosts are heavily medicated and riding the Women’s History Month vibe as we dive into the life of Dorothea Dix, reformer and unsung hero of the mentally ill. Next we learn about a bunch of rich Nazis burning up in New Jersey!! Here come all the facts about the Hindenburg disaster you never knew you always needed!
