A podcast for the casual fan of history. The Wikipedia reader. The kids who grew up with a dad who watched the same 10 hours of World War II specials on The History Channel. Join Dan Regester, Rob Fox, and a weekly guest as they tastefully insert themselves into the past. The only thing we don’t show is our research.

The Time An Immigrant Took The President's Job 14.09.2026 1t 20minKyle Bandujo, host of the "From Phenom to Farm" and "Big Screen Sports" podcasts, joins the show to discuss the illiterate Polish immigrant who President Grover Cleveland paid to take his place in the Civil War after our (then future) Commander in Chief was drafted in 1863. The man's name was George Brinski. He took $150 to join in Cleveland's stead and suffice it to say his time during the war, and his life after, were not super fun.

David and the Goliath-Sized Pile of Foreskin 31.08.2026 1t 6minOne of the most famous stories of the Old Testament is David's slaying of the Philistine giant Goliath. But, that's not even the most impressive thing David did. After taking down Goliath David, at the behest of King Saul, killed and harvested the foreskin of 200(!!!) Philistine soldiers.

Modern Serial Killers Have Nothing On The Middle Ages 16.08.2026 1tForget Jeffrey Dahmer and Ted Bundy. Forget Jack the Ripper. One serial killer in 16th-century Germany was so prolific and horrifying that he puts all our modern true crime subject matter to shame. Peter Niers confessed to taking the lives of over 500 victims, both while robbing and looting as a bandit and, apparently, for love of the game as well. Not only was Niers a killer, he was also, according to stories at the time, a practitioner of dark magic. He made deals with the devil and specifically targeted pregnant women and their unborn children in order to make his dark magical powers stronger.

Why Bastille Day Is Stupid 13.07.2026 1t 6minMuch like the French Revolution as a whole, the event that kicked it all off, the Storming of the Bastille, was a sh*tshow that was in no way about what everyone involved claimed it was about. And, as was tradition during the French Revolution, it resulted in the pointless deaths of innocent people, even more violence, and a narrative that didn't align at all with what actually happened.

The Peg Legged Playboy Who Helped Write The Constitution 06.07.2026 1t 4minGouverneur Morris was an American statesman, framer of the Constitution, and one of the most under appreciated Founding Fathers of the United States. He also had a peg leg, loved messing around with married women, became the minister of France during the Reign of Terror where he actively rode for Louis XVI, and helped develop New York City as we know it. He was a total wildcard.

The World Cup's Most Violent Match Ever 15.06.2026 1t 6minIn 1962, World Cup host Chile was set to play Italy in their final group stage match. Both sides needed a win to advance to the knockout stage. What ensued, thanks to a pair of Italian newspaper articles calling host nation Chile "backwards," "illiterate," and "full of prostitutes," was less of a soccer match and more of a blood feud. This is the story of "The Battle of Santiago."

The Man Who Inspired Saving Private Ryan's Gnarliest Moments 01.06.2026 1t 17minStaff Sergeant Ray Lambert hit Dog Green Sector of Omaha Beach with the first wave on D-Day. He was a medic. His job was to save, not kill. But that fact did not prevent him from taking an absolute BEATING on the beach that day. Despite multiple horrific wounds throughout the morning, he never stopped treating wounded soldiers. He might have had the most brutal day of anyone on Omaha Beach who didn't die or lose a limb. Still, he never stopped saving lives. Not even when his own side accidentally tried to drown him.

How The Green Mountain Boys Broke Benedict Arnold 25.05.2026 1t 3minThe capture of Fort Ticonderoga early in the American Revolution was a crucial, if militarily uneventful, victory early in America's fight for independence. The capture cut British Canada off from the 13 colonies and supplied important heavy artillery to force the British out of Boston. And it was all accomplished by glory hounds Ethan Allen and Benedict Arnold, a ragtag group of men more interested in capturing the fort's booze than the fort itself, and what sounds like the worst spy plan in U.S. history.

The Time We Almost Nuked The Moon 18.05.2026 48minAfter the launch of Sputnik, the U.S. needed a response to show they had not fallen behind the Soviets during the Cold War. The Air Force put together a top-secret, very real plan under the name Project A119 to detonate a nuclear bomb on the surface of the moon for the rest of the world to see. Carl Sagan was brought in to do calculations on the blast radius and the Space Race almost went atomic.
