Check out my latest exploration of one of history's most notorious financial frauds. Is it weird that I find Charles Ponzi weirdly loveable? Also, I ended up talking way more about the Hawk Tuah Girl than originally expected. art19.com/shows/our-fa...

Many found farewells to Erich Von Daniken. This dude was very wrong about everything and he spawned an entire universe of pseudo-historical nonsense. But, he had a certain devil-may-care joie-de-vivre that was undeniably charming. See you in the stars old guy.

Check out the latest Bonus Episode! I get deeper into questions about Bill's influence on the pop-culture cowboy, the history of grisly battlefield trophies, and the Wild West Show's surprising legacy in Belgium. art19.com/shows/our-fa...

Check out the finale of our series on Buffalo Bill and the Wild West Show. This topic surprised me with just how rich it was. I honestly think this series has been really strong. What do you think? art19.com/shows/our-fa...

YESSS! So cool!

A few people have been having this issue. Podcast Addict hasn't been able to explain it. A re-subscribe should fix things.

I thought this was going to be a lighthearted cowboy story, but this turned out to be one of the most surprising topics I have ever researched. Buffalo Bill is P.T Barnum, Schliemann, and Billy the Kid in one weird character. Showman, liar, killer. art19.com/shows/our-fa...

Catch up on our latest bonus episode where I take questions about Elephant Duels and Legendary Welsh Princes. art19.com/shows/our-fa...

In the latest episode I explore the theory that a Welsh Prince named Madoc arrived in the New World 300 years before Columbus. This takes me down a strange rabbit hole filled with stories about Welsh speaking indigenous groups in America. Hope you dig! art19.com/shows/our-fa...

You rule! I hope they dig these!

Every now and then OFH artist Frank Fiorentino makes an image where I am immediately like "damn... that's a shirt"

The conclusion of our Parthenon Marbles series is out now. I couldn't help but editorialize a little bit in this one. I had some thoughts! Hope you enjoy. art19.com/shows/our-fa...

Season 11 kicks off with a look at the Parthenon Sculptures aka the Elgin Marbles. The debate around these controversial museum objects is riddled with historical myths! Did Lord Elgin "save" these works of art or is that fake history? #britishmuseum art19.com/shows/our-fa...

Re-releasing the fan favorite series on Robin Hood with fresh introductions. This series is pure fun and has been a joy to re-visit. I forgot how much I loved the earliest Robin Hood stories. art19.com/shows/our-fa...

Right!? Just a classic

Enjoy this super fun throwback episode about the legendary sword-fighter Miyamoto Musashi. Also check my new introduction where I breakdown my flubs about "Bushi-do" and the history of Samurai. art19.com/shows/our-fa...

I was really proud of this one! I'm glad it resonated with you.

Thanks my man! It's been a crazy ride with this show. Glad that I get to keep doing it.

I'm very proud of our Season 10 finale! In this one I break down the idea that the Wizard of Oz is secretly a political allegory. But more importantly, I get into beautiful weirdness of "Dark Side of the Rainbow." This one is for the real heads. art19.com/shows/our-fa...

Check out our fun Bonus Episode where I talk a bit more about McKinley, Karl Rove, and Cuban Conspiracy theories! art19.com/shows/our-fa...

It was a total pleasure to be a guest on this week's Alarmist podcast. We had some fun breaking down the Shackleton Expedition and the wreck of the Endurance. Gave me a chance to speak on one of my favourite topics "English pluck"

It was a total pleasure to be on the Drunken Taoist! @danielebolelli.bsky.social‬ is one of the best guys in the business. It was a real joy to talk Sparta with him!

The final part of our President McKinley Trilogy is out now! In this one we get into the outbreak of the Spanish-American War, The USS Maine, Yellow Journalism and so much more. Do I figure out "Why McKinley?" Check it out! art19.com/shows/our-fa...

I am obviously overlooking something huge. The McKinley heads are all secretly "Gleeks"

Part Two in our President McKinley series is out now. In this one I get into the contentious election of 1896. Was McKinley bought and sold by American tycoons? Tune-in and see what I have to say. art19.com/shows/our-fa...

President William McKinley has made a surprise return to the news, so I figured it was time we learned something about him. Did his tariffs make America rich? Was there really a hope his fiscal policies would lead to the annexation of Canada? art19.com/shows/our-fa...

For whatever reason this little video didn't get put out a few months ago! Hope you are still curious about medieval incendiary weapons! www.tiktok.com/@ourfakehist...

It was so fun to talk to @danielebolelli.bsky.social. We had a good time getting into it about the Spartans!

Check out our super fun one-off episode about Mermaids! These weird hybrids were taken quite seriously by the scientific establishment of 17th and 18th century. What made Mermaids seem so real? art19.com/shows/our-fa...

These stories intermingle. I did not put the mermaid in, Scottish fishermen did. (Got the story from the Penguin book of mermaids, who in turn got it from an early 20th century folklore collection)

It's a temptation! People ask me for Big foot shows all the time, but I feel like other podcasts have that covered. This is a history show that loves myths... not a paranormal show with an interest in history.

The darkest part is when I learned that helots who were "well liked" were tapped to be murdered, because they might one day lead a rebellion. Just being a good dude was dangerous if you were a helot.

The long promised extra episode on the Bronze Age Collapse has finally arrived! Two meaty hours of me sorting through the evidence to get a better sense of one of histories most stubborn mysteries! Did I crack the case? Check it out through Patreon. www.patreon.com/posts/extra-...
