In honor of the 75th Anniversary of the end of World War II in Europe, The Sons of History are dedicating this month entirely to the Second World War. Dustin Bass and Alan Wakim discuss what led to the start of the war, only 20 years after the end of The Great War. The Treaty of Versailles, The Russian Revolution, The Great Depression, a reluctant Europe to check German progress, the rise of Hitler and Mussolini, and more. Don't miss these discussions.

April is the month of Shakespeare, so The Sons of History decided to end the month on a discussion about history's greatest playwright. Dustin Bass and Alan Wakim sit down with Professor Kari Lee Bush-Hammons, of Sam Houston State  University, to discuss what we should know about William Shakespeare. If you've never experienced Shakespeare, you'll learn what to expect, and more importantly, where to start. 

Celebrate the king of tragedy and comedy, and the originator of the tragi-comedy. 

So what happened after the Alamo? What was Sam Houston really thinking before the Battle of San Jacinto?  And why were the Mexicans caught by surprise at the famous battle? In honor of the Battle of San Jacinto, we discuss this and more in part 2 of our discussion with Dr. Stephen L. Hardin.

The Texas legend Dr. Stephen L. Hardin, of McMurray University, joins the podcast to discuss the Texas Revolution. Learn just about everything you need to know on the Texas Revolution in this two-part series.

In commemoration of the Battle of San Jacinto, The Sons of History releases this thorough discussion on what you knew, what you thought you knew, and what you never knew about the conflict between the Texians and Mexicans. 

Statistics show that most millennials would vote for a socialist if given the chance. The Sons of History interviews Morgan Zegers, founder of the Young Americans Against Socialism (YAAS), to discuss how she is working to convince fellow millennials that socialism is the wrong path to take.

Dustin Bass and Alan Wakim ask numerous questions with plenty of historical context. If you're on the fence about socialism, this is the conversation you won't want to miss.

The Coronavirus pandemic has created a scenario that has pitted rights versus security in many countries, and especially in America. The United States is considered the most free nation, but are Americans surrendering their rights for the sake of security? Dustin Bass and Alan Wakim discuss how our government has stripped rights away in times of crisis, and rarely, if ever, restored them to their full extent. 

We hope you enjoy this thorough discussion about what is happening in America and around the world in regard to how the pandemic is affecting people's basic rights.

Joshua Philipp, senior investigative reporter and host of CrossRoads at The Epoch Times, joins The Sons of History for a discussion on the Coronavirus and how China's coverup of the outbreak has led to a pandemic. Philipp has recently completed a documentary on the Coronavirus outbreak and will be out soon. 

Dustin Bass and Alan Wakim ask a number of vey pointed questions about the Chinese government's coverup in the early outbreak of the disease and how it appears they may be doing so again. Be prepared to be hit with some hard and sobering facts about the current state the world finds itself in. We hope you enjoy the show and that you remain safe during this catastrophic time in the world's history.

The major problems with China go back a couple of generations. After the result of their civil war in 1949, Red China has been a scourge to the free world. The Sons of History discuss how the Communist Party has and continues to ruin this legendary state. Dustin Bass and Alan Wakim discuss the difference between the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China, as well as all the little and big things China continues to do to perpetuate instability in the Asian region, and globally. It may be time to leave China and choose another location as the world's manufacturing hub. Listen to all this, along with the banter that comes with every episode. 

With the coronavirus putting the world on hold, The Sons of History discuss the history of plagues, diseases, and other illnesses that have impacted mankind, going back thousands of years. Is it a time to panic? That remains to be seen. What can be seen is how the world has had to grapple with these types of health problems, and how it appears that it will continue to do so till the end of time (not to be dramatic, of course).

How much do you know about one of the greatest Americans? Frederick Douglass was born a slave and died a statesman. His journey to freedom and his work toward the freedom of others is a story of incredible courage, determination, and grit. It is also an American story that must never be forgotten. 

The Sons of History discuss this incredible man with educator and historian John W. McCaskill.  He is an educator at the Frederick Douglass National Historic Site in Washington D.C. with the National Parks Service. 

We know you'll enjoy this conversation.
