Welcome To Oregon: An Oregon Historical Variety Show

We are finally back! We discuss some new network changes, the new movie museum in Cottage Grove, Bruce Haney begins part 1 on an incredible and little-known feud, and we discuss some of our vacation spots

Hey everyone! Welcome to our long awaited part 3 of World War II Tales. We wanted to get this out awhile ago, but unfortunately we couldn't do it in time, so to make up for it we are releasing this episode in it's entirety, with pre show. Enjoy!

Hey friends! We are FINALLY dropping the interview with Steve Poole aka Steve The Historian. We talk to Steve about his journey and making historical Portland content. To celebrate 3 years of Welcome To Oregon and to reward you all for your patience with our month long absence, we are releasing the entire episode so you don't miss a thing!

“This week’s episode is an interview with Oregon State University Professor, Doctor Molly Carney! Alex, David, and Finn sat down with Dr Molly to discuss her career path through archaeology which brought her from the East Coast to the BEST coast, and the upcoming field school that she will be teaching at Camp Adair!

On this episode, it is a special extra World War II story that Finn told on an episode of our old podcast, The Influential Oregonian, where he talks about the origins of Yosuke Matsuoku with opium smuggler and grocery store owner William Dunbar.

This week, we have a somewhat shorter show with David talking tunnels, part II of WWII stories, and finishing off with an Oregon Obit on famed pilot Hazel Ying Lee.

This week we get into it with Bruce's final part of his story on Bob Patterson, going into our favorite WW II stories, then capping off with Finn giving up an extra WWII story for his segment!

This week, we wrap up our stories on Oregon's famous outlaws, for now at least. David talks about the Malheur occupation, and Marcus pulls a Finn and forgoes his segment for the week to dive into lots of cool outlaw stories!

On this weeks episode we welcome Soulbound creator Olivia Jeske to shadow us while Bruce runs through the next part of his saloon series, and although it was indeed Finn's Crime Corner this week, we decided to combine it with the main topic, seeing as the topic at hand is part I of our short series on Oregon's Outlaws!

On this episode we wrap up our first series featuring stories of dynamite with part III involving all kinds of crimes! From stories of jealous spouses seeking revenge to people just strapped for cash, many of these tales are a blast!
