THE SALEM WITCH TRIALS (PT 1) MADNESS DESCENDS UPON SALEM VILLAGE Oct 27, 2024

Show notes

In March of 1692 the little village of Salem Massachusetts became a hotbed of lies, deception, and fear as a group of teenage girls went into convulsions and named selected locals as witches who were possessing them. The judge, the reverends, and most of the townspeople were caught up in the frenzy and fear and those who spoke up faced sure retribution. When the witch hunt started it gained momentum- and was at its worst when a four year old girl whose mother had already been accused was interrogated for two weeks until she finally broke down and admitted she was a witch so she could go to the gallows with her mother.

BEST OF (#34 OF 506) SAY IT AIN'T SO, JOE THE TRUE STORY OF BANNED BASEBALL LEGEND SHOELESS JOE JACKSON Oct 22, 2024

Show notes

In 1919, 8 Chicago White Sox players either participated directly in or failed to report a plan to sabotage the best of 8 World Series games against the Cincinnati Reds for profit.. The Reds won 5 games to 4 and the matter seemed to drop- until the following season,when a grand jury was convened to get to the truth. One of the gamblers involved testified,and some of the players admitted they had been in on the plot. One of the best players on the team, Shoeless Joe Jackson, ,who had played perfectly throughout the series, was named in the scandal and paid for it by being from pro baseball for the rest of his life. Many people today felt he has been unfairly wronged. This is his story.

THE BATTLE OF BEECHER'S ISLAND (PT 2): THE SEIGE AND RESCUE Oct 20, 2024

Show notes

For days Forsyth's men laid in their shallow holes trying not to get shot, but the doctor was hit badly, Beecher was dying, and qa half dozen others were either dead of wounded, including Forsyth, who was still commanding his men. They had sent scouts but it was 100 miles to the nearest post and the chances the scouts would make it through the Indians was minimal. The rations were gone, and the only option after 4 days was rotting horse meat. Death was staring them in the face. This is their story.

BEST OF (#32 OF 501) CASABLANCA: THE INCREDIBLE STORY BEHIND THE MAKING OF THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER MADE Oct 11, 2024

Show notes

This episode tells the story-behind-the story regarding the making of the movie that many critics claim is the greatest movie ever made, including the fact that the movie was filmed while WWII was raging and that many of the people involved in the making of the movie had escaped from Nazi-dominated Europe and had yet to loose family members in German concentration camps. The cast, the creators, and the story outlining the importance of Casablanca as vital link for escaping refugees, are brought to light here, along with movie gaffs listed at the end. For appropriate ages studying World War II, this episode combined with a viewing of the movie, would make an excellent prelude to studies of 1941-1943. This episode briefly and simply explains France's occupation by Germany and its political division between the Vichy Government (pro-Nazi) and the French Resistance government under DeGaulle, drawing similarities between this division and that of America during their revolution. Listen to this episode just before watching the movie and you'll enjoy Casablanca 100% more.
