Épisode 1 - The Female Nazi Hunters of WWII
19 septembre 2025
The incredible true story of the Night Witches, an all-female Soviet bomber regiment that haunted and terrorized Nazi forces during World War II. Forgotten by much of the world, their story is a powerful reminder of what often gets left out of history. This episode dives into who they were, how they fought, and why their story matters now more than ever.
Épisode 2 - How a Banana Started a Coup
3 octobre 2025
The humble banana: a fruit so ordinary, it’s hard to believe it once helped topple a democracy. This is the story of the United Fruit Company, and how two businessmen built a banana empire that took over Central America, leading to a civil war that lasted over 3 decades... or is it?
Épisode 3 - A Dead Pope on Trial: The Cadaver Synod
17 octobre 2025
In one of the most bizarre events in church history, Pope Stephen VI exhumed the dead body of his predecessor, dressed it in papal robes, and put it on trial. What followed was a wild political charade that shocked Rome and backfired in a spectacular way. This episode we dive into the Cadaver Synod, a story of power, revenge, and how far people are willing to go to rewrite history.
Épisode 4 - The World's Most Successful Pirate
31 octobre 2025
19th century pirate legend Zheng Yi Sao is hardly remembered outside of her native Guangdong. And yet, by most markers, she’s the most successful pirate of all time–not because of her brutality, mad sword fighting skills, or any of those other stereotypical pirate characteristics, but because she was smart, crafty, focused, and really, really organized.
Épisode 5 - The Dancing Plague
14 novembre 2025
In 1518, a woman began to dance uncontrollably–and things didn’t stop there. In the weeks that followed, hundreds of people joined her. We still don’t know what caused the so-called Dancing Plague of Strasbourg–or all the other dancing hysterias through history–but that doesn’t mean we can’t learn from what it can reveal about the dark powers of groupthink.
Épisode 6 - Archimedes: Fact or Fiction?
5 décembre 2025
We’ve all heard about Archimedes and his Eureka! moment. It was all about a bath and a gold crown…or was it? Turns out when you dig in, the facts are quite a bit murkier.
Épisode 7 - Polar Opposites: Shackleton vs. Andrée
19 décembre 2025
Two men set out to explore the poles. One led his crew to safety against incredible odds, the other floated into the arctic sky on a leaking balloon and never came back. These are the true stories of Shackleton and Andrée, both tales of leadership, survival, and who to be when everything goes wrong.
Épisode 1 - The First Woman to Run for President: Victoria Claflin Woodhull
9 janvier 2026
Victoria Claflin Woodhull was the daughter of a snake oil salesman in rural Ohio, a traveling clairvoyant, married thrice, the first woman (with her sister) to be a stock broker, the creator of the first weekly newspaper run by women, the first woman to testify before a congressional committee, AND the first woman to run for US president. Did I mention she was only 34, and it would take 50 more years before (white) women were allowed to vote? And yet…have you heard of her?
