--- 1938: Kristallnacht (Night of Broken Glass). Nazis throughout Germany conducted organized terror and destroyed synagogues, as well as Jewish homes, schools and businesses. Approximately 100 Jews were killed in the violence and approximately 30,000 Jews were arrested and sent to concentration camps on the sole ground of being Jewish. Although Jews had been oppressed throughout Germany since the rise of Adolf Hitler in January 1933, this was a major escalation in the Nazi agenda of violence against the Jews which would culminate in the Holocaust and the murder of approximately 6 million Jews in Europe.

--- 1989: The Berlin Wall came down, allowing people to travel freely between democratic West Berlin and communist East Berlin. This occurred by accident. In response to protests by the citizens of East Germany, an East Berlin party official named Günter Schabowski announced at a press conference upcoming travel reforms which were going to allow citizens of East Germany to travel more freely to West Berlin. When questioned at the press conference when this policy would go into effect, Günter Schabowski said immediately. He meant the program of applying for visits to West Germany would start right away. But people mistakenly thought that the border between East Berlin and West Berlin was immediately opened. Thousands of people flocked to Checkpoint Charlie and demanded to enter West Berlin. The East German guards did not know what to do and eventually stepped aside and let people cross into West Berlin. Thousands of West Berliners arrived at Checkpoint Charlie and other points of the wall. People started climbing onto the wall, others took sledgehammers or any other tools they could find to knock pieces out of this horrible symbol of oppression. The Berlin Wall was now open. Eleven months later the unification treaty went into effect and, as of October 3, 1990, Germany was reunited as one country and as a democracy, and its capital was a reunited Berlin.

--- "The Berlin Wall". That is the title of one of the episodes of my podcast: History Analyzed. For 28 years the Berlin Wall stood as a testament to the cruelties and failures of communism. While Berlin became the epicenter of the Cold War, West Berlin became an island of freedom behind the Iron Curtain. Hear why Germany was divided into two separate countries and how it finally reunited.

That is the title of the episode I just published today in my podcast: History Analyzed. 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.

Hello, I'm looking for a fairly specific format. A narrative history of the world told in relatively small-sized episodes. Basically an analogous of Mike Duncan's History of Rome to world history. Let me know if you have any recommendations that match this format (at least roughly).

--- 2014: One World Trade Center officially opened next to the location of the Twin Towers which had been destroyed in the September 11, 2001, terrorist / suicide attacks.

--- 1957: A dog named Laika became the first living creature to orbit the Earth as the Soviets launched Sputnik 2. The capability of returning a capsule safely to Earth had not yet been developed. This was a one-way mission. Laika died long before she ran out of oxygen because the loss of the heat shield made the temperature in the capsule rise to unsafe levels. Due to falsified records by the Soviets at the time, it is unclear how long Laika lived. But it is agreed that she did orbit the earth at least several times.

--- "The Space Race". That is the title of one of the episodes of my podcast: History Analyzed. In 1961, President John F. Kennedy famously promised to land a man on the moon within one decade, but why was there a race to the moon anyway? Get your questions about the space race answered and discover little known facts. For example, many don't realize that a former Nazi rocket scientist was the main contributor to America's satellite and moon program, or that the USSR led the race until the mid-1960s.

--- "The Donner Party — Cannibalism in California". That is the title of an episode of my podcast: History Analyzed. In 1846, a wagon train which became known as the Donner Party was headed to California. They became trapped in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and resorted to eating those who died. Out of 87 people only 46 survived. You can find History Analyzed on every podcast app.

--- 1929: Black Tuesday: the New York Stock Exchange collapsed. This is usually considered the beginning of the Great Depression.

--- 1692: William Phips, the governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, closed the special court which was trying the alleged witches of Salem. Supposedly what prompted the governor to close the court was because his own wife was accused of being a witch.

--- "The Horrors of the Salem Witch Trials". That is the title of one of the episodes of my podcast: History Analyzed. Learn about the true story that inspired the legends.

So I want to start a podcast.

First, I live in the Washington D.C. area. I have background in politics, tech and other areas. I've been in BBC documentaries about Data Centers and sustainability. I have huge interests in history (minored in it, member of the Virginia Archaeological society etc.) I'm 37 years old.

I want to start a podcast that can take advantage of the area's experts in history and perhaps beyond. By no means do I have any regimented blueprint about what this podcast is or its content. Really open to any directions, ideas, format. This is for fun first and foremost. I just know I want to make some good friends, talk /analyze history and perhaps politics and other topics. I'm pretty well read in history and love all periods so not inclined towards one era over others or even regulated to history as the sole topic.

Really trying to gauge the community and interest. Maybe after a few conversations we can set out a blueprint, time commitments and so on. Really open to anyone who would be a good fit, has some extra time and has this same itch. Huge plus if you're already on the path and can show me some guidance.

Feel free to comment or send me a message if you’re interested!

Hello fellow buffs, we are well underway with season 2 of the Double Helix: Blueprint of Nations podcast, and about to hit a year. I began season 2, which will be dedicated to studying Civil Wars that have left a mark on 10 different nations. I already covered the Colombian Civil War and now I am halfway through the U.S. Civil War. I would love to get any feedback you have and a few ratings as well. The podcast style is very much after the style of the only Mike Duncan I absolutely admire. I am trying to do my own thing, but if you've listened to Mike you might find a lot in common, although not as good! not yet anyway.

The next series will be on the Spanish Civil War, and after that I am debating if I should go with Rwanda (little known outside of the massacre of the Tutsis) or the Russian Civil War, which is obviously well covered by many podcasts, including Mike's

Happy Learning!

Between the years 1000 and 1500 CE the soggy, sphagnum filled bog lands of the western Low Countries were terraformed to support human habitation and, as such, the seeds of future prosperity and hardships were simultaneously, albeit unknowingly, sown. Draining the swamp meant that land was created for agriculture, farming and settlement. This land was crisscrossed by waterways over which products both domestic and foreign could be moved on boats from the sea to the rivers and vice versa. Draining the swamp also meant that those lands sank, due to oxygen seeping into the pierced mass of moss and rotting the previously petrified peat within. People had to invent things like pumping mills to move water out of the swamp and stave off that waterlogged sinking feeling they had been experiencing. By the start of the 16th century, towns in the Low Countries had become important hubs of commercial shipping, with boats sailing from Northern Germany and beyond to the Baltic Sea, preferring to use the relatively calm and peaceful waters “inside the dunes” of Holland to reach markets in Flanders, as opposed to risking the open waters of the North Sea. Although water management required cooperation between the peoples of different towns, all of this economic activity also naturally created competition and rivalry between these towns, particularly in Holland, as they literally fought over their rights to do things like dig new canals, build new locks and charge tolls. It’s Draining the Swamp Part 2: Too Drained, Too Furious.

--- 1949: East Germany was proclaimed as a separate country. After World War II, Germany was occupied and divided into four occupation zones by the main Allied powers. In May 1949 the U.S., U.K., and France combined their occupation zones into the democratic state of the Federal Republic of Germany, commonly referred to as West Germany. The U.S.S.R. formed the communist state of the German Democratic Republic, usually called East Germany. The two countries were reunited on October 3, 1990, as the single state of Germany.

Hosted by friends and equestrians Keagan and Keely, History from Horseback is a podcast for the history buff and horse enthusiast. In our episodes we will delve into equine history, exploring the profound impact of horses on culture, warfare, agriculture, and sports throughout the ages.

This next series of episodes is on the real history of Saint George. Kicking the series off by looking at the very first non-biblical writing about Christians in history; a letter from a Roman governor to the Emperor Trajan asking about what to do with some Christians he's found, next exploring the honest to goodness first hand written diary of a Christian in the days leading up to their execution in a Roman arena. Only 80 years after this, in the time of Saint George, another little known Christian who (like Saint George) is also a Roman soldier is given the order by another emperor to slaughter a village of Christians. What happens next sets the stage for our hero the Emperor (Saint George) to appear. https://open.spotify.com/episode/0UvAOUa1lsNg8ehZYQHovi

--- 1962: African American James Meredith tried to enroll in the University of Mississippi, resulting in a riot. Two people died, 206 marshals and soldiers were wounded, and 200 individuals were arrested. On October 1, protected by Federal forces, Meredith was allowed to register for courses and integrated the University of Mississippi.

--- 1938: In Munich, Germany, an agreement was signed between the United Kingdom, France, and Nazi Germany, averting war at the cost of granting Germany permission to annex the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia.

--- "A Defense of Neville Chamberlain". That is the title of one of the episodes of my podcast: History Analyzed. Neville Chamberlain has been ridiculed for the 1938 Munich Agreement between Britain and France on one side and Nazi Germany on the other. Instead of being derided, Chamberlain should be praised. Chamberlain tried to avoid a world war. He failed, but at least he tried. And even though he did not completely avoid World War II, his actions ensured that Britain did not lose the war. Britain remaining in the war throughout 1940 and into 1941 allowed for an eventual Allies victory. As some historians have phrased it, Chamberlain did not win World War II, but he prevented the UK from losing the Battle of Britain in 1940 by making sure that Britain had enough fighter planes and an adequate radar system.

That is the title of the episode, published today, of my podcast: History Analyzed. For years all immigrants were allowed into the U.S., but some could not become citizens. Later, certain nationalities were limited or completely banned.

The U.S., and other countries, had considered a boycott because of Nazi policies against the Jews.

--- 1519: The Armada de Molucca, commanded by Ferdinand Magellan, departed from the Spanish port of Salucar de Barrameda with five ships. The expedition sailed down around the southern part of South America into the Pacific. On September 6, 1522, only one of those five ships, the Victoria, returned to Spain (with only 18 men on board), having sailed from the Pacific through the Indian Ocean, down around the southern tip of Africa, and back to Spain. It was the first circumnavigation of the world.

--- "Ferdinand Magellan and the First Voyage Around the World". That is the title of an episode of my podcast: History Analyzed. In 1519 Magellan set sail with five ships to find a southwest passage — a strait though South America. Three years later, only one ship returned to Spain with just 18 of the original 240 men. They had sailed around the entire earth. The voyage was eventful with mutinies, scurvy, battles, and many discoveries. You can find History Analyzed on every podcast app.

We talk about his latest book, "Lessons in Liberty: 30 Rules for Living from Ten Extraordinary Americans," to uncover the lessons we can learn from some of history's most important figures, and how we can apply them to reverse the current trajectory. Jeremy passionately argues for a return to the core values that made America great, emphasizing the importance of education, civic responsibility, and the role of teachers in shaping the next generation.

This episode is a must-watch for anyone concerned about the direction America is heading. From patriotism to the cultural shifts driven by technology, we discuss actionable steps to help steer the country back on course. Join the conversation, and let's work together to ensure a brighter future for America.

--- 1993: The “Declaration of Principles on Interim Self-Government Arrangements” (commonly referred to as the “Oslo Accords” because the negotiations began in Oslo, Norway) was signed at the U.S. White House as a peace accord between Israel and Palestine. Israel acknowledged the PLO as the representative of the Palestinians, and the PLO renounced terrorism and recognized Israel’s right to exist in peace. President Bill Clinton hosted the ceremony which culminated in the famous photograph of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and PLO Chairman Yasir Arafat shaking hands. Obviously, this did not end hostilities in the region.

--- 1913: Jesse Owens, arguably the greatest track and field star in U.S. history (he gets my vote), was born in Alabama. His given name was actually James Cleveland Owens. Growing up he went by his initials: J.C. When he was 9 years old his family moved to Cleveland, Ohio. When he enrolled in school in Cleveland the teacher did not understand his southern accent. When she asked him his name and he said "J.C." she thought he was saying "Jesse" and started calling him that. Amazingly he just went by Jesse for the rest of his life.

--- 1781: Los Angeles (officially “El Pueblo de la Reyna de Los Angeles” — The Town of the Queen of Angels) was founded by the Spanish. Actually, there is an ongoing dispute about the original name. Was it spelled “la Reyna” or “la Reina”? Some claim the correct name is “El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora la Reina de Los Angeles” — The Town of Our Lady the Queen of the Angels. But the name “El Pueblo de la Reyna de Los Angeles” is the name on the first handwritten map in 1785 and is probably correct. Please listen to my podcast, History Analyzed, on all podcast apps.
