  • E13 Travel Then vs. Travel Now
    Episode Notes

    Smart cars powered by electricity? How about your feet powered by what you had to eat! The need to get from one place to another is something that hasn’t changed since an early human first ran away from a lion to a modern human realizing the remote was across the room. In this episode, Ken and Glen discuss travel’s fundamental importance in daily life – and how whether it’s procuring spices from the other side of the world or getting crops to market, you’ll be walking at some point.

  • E12 Rule Britannia!
    Episode Notes

    What if the newly minted United States had lost their War for Independence? Well, for one thing George Washington would definitely not be on any currency! It was certainly not a foregone conclusion that there would be an American victory and in the event Britain did pretty well despite losing. In this episode, Ken and Glen get whimsical and muse historic on how differently the course of events could have run if Britain had crushed the rebel scum – God Save the King!

  • E11 D-Day: Its Legacy and Memory
    Episode Notes

    General Dwight D. Eisenhower called it “the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months”, and remained the Allied soldiers that “The eyes of the world are upon you”. And indeed they were – the eyes of the Fascist regimes in Germany and Italy, of the Allied Soviet Union, of the Japanese foe in the Pacific, of occupied peoples everywhere. In this episode, Ken and Glen discuss how monumental an undertaking was the invasion of Hitler’s “Fortress Europe” – and how catastrophic failure would have been.

  • E10 How Is History Preserved?
    Episode Notes

    HEADLINE: Notre Dame Burns to the Ground! Wait, no it didn’t, it’s made primarily of stone… The Notre Dame du Paris fire of April 2019 served as a reminder that history is not the past, but rather a preservation of the inquiry into the people, objects, and views of the past – and that even an object as seemingly transcendent of history as a cathedral are still in constant conflict with time and change. In this episode, Ken and Glen discuss what history means in a preservation context, and the challenges of what to preserve and how.

  • E9 "Based on a True Story"
    Episode Notes

    When you see the words “based on a true story” in the opening credits of a film assume that’s Hollywood-speak for “mostly lies”! Using the film “Green Book” and the discussion its Oscar-winning generated as a springboard, in this episode Ken and Glen delve into truth, seeming truth, and cinematic responsibility in film.

  • E8 Lewis & Clark

    Lewis and Clark! They’re movies were hilarious! Wait, that was Lewis and Martin, you know, Jerry and Dean… We’re talking Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, the men who led the Corps of Discovery to find out just what the heck Thomas Jefferson had bought with the Louisiana Purchase. In this episode Ken and Glen go to the Pacific Northwest and back with not just Lewis and Clark, but also the invaluable Sacagawea and the little known enslaved servant York.

  • E7 The West
    Episode Notes

    Well Pardner, pull yer horse up ‘round the chuck-wagon an’ play a hand of poker ‘round th’ campfire while trick shootin’ a rattlesnake off a cactus with yer six-gun…or forget that nonsense and let’s talk about the real West! Though what most people think of as the Old West realistically lasted only about 20 years, it has a vast mythology. In this episode Ken and Glen ride the range of those myths - and the realities behind them.

  • E6 The Great War
    Episode Notes

    So, what was World War I called before World War II tipped us off? The “Great War” – and not great as in wonderful, but great as in enormous or overpowering. To those born in the late 20th and early 21st centuries the magnitude of what The Great War meant to those who experienced it can be elusive – Ken and Glen try to provide a sense of it in this episode.

  • E5 The Battle of Hastings in 1066
    Episode Notes

    Why should you care about a battle that took place in southeast England almost one thousand years ago? Because this podcast is in English, that’s why! The language sounds the way it does today as a direct result of that battle on October 14, 1066. Very few single days actually “change the course of History” – Ken and Glen tell you why this is one.
