  • Unconditional Surrender was the Correct Policy in World War II
    Dec 30 2024

    The Western Allies' demand that the Axis Powers unconditionally surrender was essential to keep the Soviets and the Chinese in the war while enduring incredible losses, to keep up the morale of the western allies, and to achieve the elimination of the Nazi regime and reforming Japanese society.

  • Bonnie and Clyde
    Nov 8 2024

    Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow were Depression Era outlaws who are just known by their first names. They have been romanticized as young lovers who stood by each other and lived life on their own terms. But in reality, Clyde was a thief and a murderer and Bonnie was his willing accomplice. For just over two years they went on a crime spree in the early 1930s robbing and killing. They were finally stopped when a 6 man posse headed by a former Texas Ranger shot and killed them with over 100 bullets, execution style, on a country road in Louisiana.

  • Immigration, Citizenship, and Eugenics in the U.S.
    Sep 27 2024

    For years all immigrants were allowed into the U.S., but some could not become citizens. Later, certain nationalities were limited or completely banned. This episode outlines those changes through the 1980s and discusses the pseudoscience of eugenics and how it was used to justify such bigotry and even involuntary sterilizations in the 20th Century.

i always look forward to the next release of this podcast!

Mark Palmer goes into such depth on these topics. This is my favorite history podcast! I'm always bummed when I finish an episode because I'm all caught up on past episodes and I then have to wait for the next one. 5 stars!
