In this month's episode of Operation History, Maria takes the gang on a trip to South America with a look at a documentary that explores a time when Walt Disney was asked by the Government to be a goodwill ambassador for the USA during WW2. To prepare for this podcast the four hosts watched a documentary titled "Walt and El Grupo." This episode chock full of not only the history that surrounds the documentary but also WW2 history and Disney history. So come and listen for a different take on a popular and relevant topic. As always there are bloopers at the end of the episode that are (as always) explicit. Please drink responsibly and enjoy this trip down the rabbit hole! 

In this episode of Operation History, Lauren, Maria, and David discuss some Environmental History. David tells the story of the 1996 oil spill in Rhode Island and how it affected the environment, economics, and the future of the affected area.

Stay tuned till the end of the episode for not one but two special announcements from the hosts! Also, as usual, some great bloopers are at the end of the episode, which is where the explicit rating comes in and there is an alcohol reference; as always please drink responsibly. And, for this episode, I would stay all the way till after the bloopers because we might just have another surprise announcement!
