One Great History

This week, Alex talks about how Winnipeg Beach became city-dwellers’ favourite summer spot – especially for dating – in the early 20th century.

Sabrina and Alex were feeling so festive, they just couldn’t help themselves from recording this bonus Christmas episode! Alex goes through some charming and bizarre Christmas anecdotes through the years and traces the origins of the Eaton’s Fairytale Vignettes. Sabrina tells us a truly horrifying story about Santa’s reindeer, and then caps it off with the tale of Punkinhead, Rudolph’s less popular counterpart.

How do you make a population care about something that is literally on the other side of the world? If you're Winnipeg, you stage a fake Nazi invasion.

This week on One Great History: If Day.

Is Winnipeg haunted? Alex and Sabrina take a spirited visit to Hamilton House to discuss staged seances, questionable photographs, and more!

Sabrina and Alex go through Winnipeg's hockey history (it's more than just the Jets)!

Occasionally employed historians Sabrina and Alex talk about Winnipeg's wonderful and weird history in broad strokes. A "thesis episode", if you will.
