Remember That Time: An Historical Podcast

It's 2025, and the country has suffered a loss, as Former President Jimmy Carter has passed away. We decided we should take a look back on his life as a farmer, a veteran, a leader, and so much more. He lived a VERY long life, so we had to make this one in 2 parts! 

As we wrap up 2024, we look back on our 6 years of podcasting (an anniversary we honor because we're 6 years apart, which is a reason we totally thought of long before recording this episode, and no later). We talk about our favorite episodes, what we want to do in the future, and what this podcast has meant to us. Thank you all so much for listening over the years! We hope to bring you more history for years to come!

This week, we're learning all about Zitkala-Sa, an Indigenous activist and writer who helped to launch one of the biggest investigations into the exploitation of Native Peoples in America.

We wrap up Spooky Season 2024 with the story of the Fox Sisters, three young women who brought about the spread of Spiritualism in the U.S. Psychic mediums who communicated with spirits, or frauds?

It's spooky season 2024! We kick things off with an episode all about the fascinating history and lore surrounding one of Disney's most popular attractions: The Haunted Mansion.

Let's learn about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle - a man of many, many, many interests and talents. Like seriously, SO many. A doctor, an author, a spiritualist, and an absolute jock. Also, this is accidentally a Superwholock episode and we apologize to our friends and family for that.

This week, the story of 3 pirates unfolds before us! Join us as we learn all about Anne Bonny, Mary Read, & Calico Jack.

We're back! It's Labor Day in the U.S., so let's learn all about one of the country's largest labor movements: The West Virginia Mine Wars. We're joined this week by Kenzie New-Walker, Director of the WV Mine Wars Museum. We learn all about the history that led up to the conflict, what the miners were fighting for, and how it all still affects us today.
