In this episode of Your History Your Story, we are pleased to welcome back award-winning author Stephen Puleo. Stephen joins us to discuss his powerful book, Dark Tide: The Great Boston Molasses Flood of 1919, which recounts the gripping and almost unbelievable story of the disaster which began when a 50-foot steel tank filled with 2.3 million gallons of molasses suddenly collapsed, unleashing a 15-foot-high wave that tore through Boston’s North End at 35 miles per hour, leaving death and destruction in its wake.

Through meticulous research and vivid storytelling, Stephen brings this bizarre historical event and its aftermath to life in a truly unforgettable way.

In this episode of Your History Your Story, we’re joined by internationally bestselling author and historian Giles Milton to discuss his compelling new book, “The Stalin Affair: The Impossible Alliance That Won the War.”

Giles takes us deep into the high-stakes world of World War II diplomacy, where Allied leaders Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill were forced to navigate the unpredictable and often explosive temperament of Soviet leader, Joseph Stalin. He also shines a light on the lesser-known men and women who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to manage Stalin and hold the fragile alliance together.

Welcome to Your History Your Story!

In this episode, we’re joined by author and educator Sarah Dixwell Brown to discuss her book Regicide in the Family: Finding John Dixwell. Sarah’s journey began with an ancient family heirloom that led her to uncover the dramatic life of her seven-times-great-grandfather, John Dixwell—one of the judges who sentenced King Charles I of England to death in 1649.

Forced to flee to the New World to escape execution himself when the monarchy was restored under King Charles II, Dixwell’s story is one of intrigue, survival and hidden history.

We hope you will enjoy this fascinating story!

Few television shows have left as lasting an impression as Lassie, and few child actors became as beloved as Jon Provost, who played Timmy Martin from 1957 to 1964. But Jon’s career began even before Lassie, when, at just three years old, he starred alongside Jane Wyman in the 1953 movie “So Big”.

In this episode of Your History Your Story, Jon, who has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, takes us back to his Hollywood days, sharing memories of working with his Lassie co-stars June Lockhart, Hugh Reilly and, of course, America’s favorite dog, Lassie. Jon will also talk about working with legendary trainer Rudd Weatherwax and how those years helped instill in him a lifelong love for animals and a passion for helping others.

We’ll also hear about Jon’s life after Lassie and the great work he continues to do today. So, sit back and enjoy as we go behind the scenes of one of television’s most iconic shows with Jon Provost!
